Powerful portable machine bevels plate edges

Model SKF 2023 is the most powerful of a range of seven portable chamfering and bevelling machines available from Surtech. With its 2,5kW electric motor, variable cutting speed from 6500 - 8500 rev/min and the multi-bladed milling head it is the ideal machine for bevelling plate prior to welding. A large bearing guide on the end of the milling head and a large disc support make it easy to move the machine along both straight and contoured edges.

Bevel widths of up to 15mm at 30, 45 and 60 degrees are possible and with the correct choice of milling head and carbide inserts the machine will handle mild steel, stainless steel and aluminium.

Slightly hardened edges from thermal cutting are no problem.

Unlike standard bevelling machines which have milling heads with between one and four inserts Model SKF 2023 has a unique and patented milling head with two rows of eight inserts.

As a result metal removal rates are several times faster and the finish is smoother and more consistent.

Model SKF 2023 comes close in performance and results to dedicated bench and stationary bevelling machines with the benefit of costing considerably less and being more versatile.
