The CRUXWELD BEVEX 63 is a portable pipe beveling machine for tubes and small-bore pipe from 28 to 63 mm outside diameter, with walls up to 12 mm. A self-centring clamping block locks it onto the outside of the tube, a 1300 W motor drives the cutter through a spiral bevel gear, and the automatic feed takes the tool into the pipe end. The result is a cold, machined 30° bevel, ready for the root pass: no grinding, no gas, no heat.

Every butt weld on a tube starts with the bevel. If the angle wanders or the root face is uneven, the welder fights the fit-up, the root pass needs repair and the joint takes twice as long.
The BEVEX 63 pipe beveling machine takes that variable away. It clamps on the outside of the tube, centres itself and machines the end with a single-point HSS tool, so the bevel comes out at the same angle all the way round, on every tube.
It is built for the jobs where small tubes are many and access is poor: boiler water walls, economiser and superheater coils, heat-exchanger bundles and process pipe racks. The compact C-type head slides over the tube end, the motor sits behind it, and one operator does the whole job with a hand on the side handle. Some buyers call it a pipe bevelling machine or a tube end prep machine: the job is the same, a clean, repeatable weld preparation.

When two tube ends bevelled at 30° are fitted together they form a 60° V-groove. The root face left at the bore carries the root pass, and the open V lets the welder reach the full wall with TIG or stick. When both ends come off the same pipe beveling machine, the groove is identical all the way round, so the gap, the root pass and the fill passes stay consistent from one joint to the next.
Cold machining: chips, not sparks, and the same 30° on the first tube and the hundredth.
A hand-ground bevel changes with every operator and every tube, and leaves heat tint to clean back.
Each clamping block is machined to one outside diameter, so the pipe beveling machine grips the tube on its full curve and centres itself without packing or shims. Tap your tube size:
Working with a tube size that is not on this list? Send us the outside diameter and wall thickness before you order, and our technical team will confirm the right clamping block for your job.
Tip: measure the actual OD with a vernier. Boiler and heat-exchanger tubes are specified by outside diameter, process pipe often by nominal bore.
Six parts do the work. The feed wheel on top sets the tool position, the carrying handle steadies the machine, the clamping block grips the tube and the locking nut closes it. The drive motor turns the cutter through the spiral bevel gear, powered through the power cable from a 220 V, 50 Hz single-phase supply.
Cutting larger pipe before you bevel it? See our portable gas pipe cutting machine, the magnetic pipe cutting machine and the manual pipe gas cutting machine. For welding the prepared joints on pipe, look at the WeldOrbit 360 carriage.
The exact scope, including the clamping block sizes you need, is confirmed on the quotation. Ask us for spare tool bits and additional clamping blocks with your order. See the full range of welding and cutting equipment.

Outside diameter and block sizes tell you which tubes the pipe beveling machine clamps — one block per OD from 28 to 63 mm. Max wall thickness is the heaviest section it bevels: 12 mm. The 30° HSS tool sets the bevel angle, and the 1300 W motor on 220 V single phase means any workshop or site socket can run it.
Specifications are subject to improvement without notice; the quotation and test certificate supplied with the machine are the governing documents. Warranty terms are stated on the quotation / invoice.
