But like 52 said not a necessary tool for pipeline but good for plant work a 3"to 8" is real handy.

Everybody I know runnin rigs, have their own beveler. A 2 to 4", and a 6 to 8". Usually above 8" the contractor will furnish. At least that's what I've been told around here.

Any good supply house should have what you need or can get it quick mine was all in stock on the shelf.

What ever happend to the old aged way of cutting a bevel by hand? I can see if you do work where you use the machine every day, then it's worth the $1200 doller + setup. If you have any question on whether or not you need it then you probably don't. If you NEED a tool then there won't be any Question about it. Just my 2 pennies.

i dunno why they wont i tried but holes dont match up and the offset of the rack is to shallow to allow it to clear the gear hard to explain i bought them new last year

Heck industries makes some nice hand held millers that bevel. I have never used one, but worked for a structural shop that needed them badly once. They were welding, or attempting to weld, 5/8" angle - vertical down. The CWI claimed full pen capability in one pass for his 'weld procedure'. I cut several up, and they of course had virtually no pen. The solution was to reject all the structures coming through the shop, and rework them by beveling with a hand torch and then rewelding to full pen in several passes. It would have been a snap with a Heck hand beveler.
