Hey yall, how is everybody, got a couple questions on a beveler.  Some opinions please, which beveler do you guys prefer a H & M or a Mathey; set up, change out for different pipe, are they hard to get tweeked out of shape, and to get parts for, so on and so on.  A guy in town has an H & M  4" - 8" with a short torch and only 4" spacer bolts for 650.00, and it was born in 1980 so whats everybodies input on this little gem??

brand name is a personal preference i like h&m but for 650 you better grab it as long as it works good a new 1 is almost 1200 for a mathey and 1500 for an h&m and thats with out a troch you can buy the spacers from a welding supply i did it when i bought a 3-8 i use to have it was around 65.00 but that was a few years ago if it's in good shape cuts square and has no glirches in it grab it a torch alone no tip or quick connects is almost 400 new

What kinda shape is it in? Being 30 years old thats not a smoking deal but cheaper than new. What brand is the torch? If thats what I needed I would buy it. A new one with all dogs is 12-1500 and the torch new is a couple hundred depending on what brand.

Well it has a Victor torch with quick connects on it and I called H & M today and parts are still readily available, the whole set of dogs runs about 70.  I went and test drove it today, cut square and nice so I added it to my arsenal.  Thanks for the input guys.
