The Steelmax BM18 is a light-weight portable beveling machine for use on flat, curved or rolled plate. It can also perform O.D. and I.D. bevels on pipe, including deburring, and can chamfer and countersink holes with a minimum diameter of 1-9/16" (40 mm).  Interchangeable bevel milling heads, utilizing indexable carbide inserts, are available for bevel angles of 22.5°, 30°, 37.5°, 45° and 60°. A radius milling head is also available with indexable carbide inserts to radius plate edges with a perfect 2, 3, 4 and 5 mm radius.

The BM18 is equipped with a simple bevel depth adjustment and electronic speed control for use on a variety of materials, including steel and aluminum. The BM18 is highly efficient for edge weld preparation and for producing radius plate edges for optimal paint and coating adhesion. The compact design makes the BM18 an excellent tool for many fabrication applications.

Please choose your desired beveling head, then the corresponding inserts. E.g. 45° Bevel head, then select bevel inserts for steel or aluminum.
