SpeedPrep EP 424 End Prep Pipe Bevelers

E.H. Wachs EP 424 with its available AutoFeed system is a precision ID mounted end prep machine tool designed to bevel, compound bevel, J prep, face and counterbore pipe, fittings and valves. Its revolutionary AutoFeed automatically feeds simultaneously in the axial and radial planes to machine any bevel or compound bevel without templates, incline tool slides or work stoppage.

Ideal for heavy wall or high alloy materials, the EP 424 is powerful enough to form tool from 4 to 16” (DN100-400) through Schedule 160, and single point from 4 to 24” (DN100-600) up to a 6.5” (165mm) wall thickness. For form tooling or as a dedicated flange facer the Wachs EP 424 is also offered without AutoFeed. More versatile and powerful to use than any other machine of its kind, the Wachs EP 424 sets the standard for a userfriendly, large diameter, heavy wall end prep machine.
