Split Frame Pipe Cutting Machine OD508 for Precision Cold Cutting
of Large Pipes
OD-508 Split Frame Pipe Cutting Machine
The OD-508 split frame pipe cutting machine handles pipelines from
355 mm to 508 mm in diameter. Featuring advanced clamshell
construction, it ensures strong clamping and precise alignment
during cutting and beveling. Cold cutting prevents heat damage,
making it safe for flammable environments and high-grade alloys.
The OD-508 is widely applied in oil and gas transmission, chemical
plants, nuclear facilities, and shipbuilding. Multiple beveling
angles and tooling configurations enable accurate weld-end
preparation and flange repair. Its rugged structure and easy
operation make it a dependable solution for onsite maintenance,
shutdown projects, and heavy-duty industrial fabrication.
