and micro fittings up to 63.5mm (2.5″) OD, providing a solution for the demanding preparation of pipe-ends for orbital welding. Facing of pipes and micro fittings from unalloyed, low alloy and high alloy steels, with an outer dimension range between 6.35 and 63.5mm (0.25″ to 2.5″) and a maximum pipe thickness of 3mm (0.118″) is no problem for the electric and cordless drives. The clamping shells of the RPG 1.5 machines can also be used with the RPG 2.5, due to the use of a special adapter clamping shell included with the machine.

Orbitalum Tools offers a large choice of durable stainless steel clamping shells for different diameters. These ensure precise mounting of micro fittings and quick change of clamping shells without tools. Both machines come with a robust, padded hard case. With the patented Quick-Tool-Change clamping system, the user is able to change tools quickly and easily; the integrated multifunctional tool has two cutting edges and a high-performance surface coating which prevents wear and tear, allowing pipes to be processed quickly and cost- effectively, with high precision.

Osborn International manufactures brushes and abrasives for use in the industrial, trade and private sector. Steel wire brushes are an ideal solution for the cleaning of welded seams. They are a cost effective and practical method for removing welding cinder and beads that prevent the next seam from being applied. The use of cellulose and alkaline electrodes is insignificant, as a brush will carefully remove all types of cinder. A rotating wire brush will provide a clean welded seam without having to remove up to 30 per cent of the welding material, as is inevitable with a grinding disc. Any defects in the weld seam also become immediately visible, enabling any rework to be carried out promptly. The use of steel wire brushes reduces the number of seams by a claimed 30-50
