I ndustry N ews Expanded tube tool line for preparing tube SWAGELOK has added five new tools to its equipment product line to complement its orbital welding equipment and tubing offering. Designed for portability and ease of use, the expanded product selection includes four new tube facing tools and one cutting tool. The tools are intended for use with 316 stainless steel, carbon steel, titanium, and most nickel-based alloys. The new tube facing tools produce flat, smooth, square, burr- free and chamfer-free tube ends. Available in four different sizes, the tools feature high-performance, coated tool bits with two cutting edges, built-in electronic speed regulation, and a quick change collet system that requires no tools to change sizes. The new tools include TF16 for preparation of thin-walled tubing from 3 to 25mm ( 1 / 8 " to 1") OD, available in both electric and cordless versions; TF24 for preparation of thin-walled tubing from 3 to 38mm ( 1 / 8 " to 1½") OD, available in both electric and cordless versions, including a 90º angle option; TF40 for preparation of thin-walled tubing from 6 to 63mm (¼" to 2½") OD, also available in both electric and cordless versions, including an angled version; and TF72 – the largest size – for preparation of thin-walled tubing from 12 to 114.3mm (½" to 4½") OD, available in an electric version. The new TC72 tool is for cutting thin-walled tubing and elbows up to 114.3mm (4½"). With an integrated laser pointer to determine the cut-off point and integrated clamping jaws constructed from hardened aluminium-cast, the TC72 is designed for easy tube preparation with square and burr-free ends. More information, including catalogues and user manuals, can be found on the company’s website.
