Tube preparation

Swagelok has added four tube facing tools and a cutting tool for use with 316 stainless steel, carbon steel, titanium, and most nickel-based alloys. The tube facing tools produce flat, smooth, square, burr-free, and chamfer-free tube ends. they come in four sizes and feature highperformance, coated tool bits with two cutting edges, built-in electronic speed regulation, and a quick change collet system that requires no tools to change sizes.

Swagelok has also added a cutting tool, TC72, for cutting thinwalled tubing and elbows up to 4 1/2 in (114.3 mm). It has an integrated laser pointer to determine cut-off point and integrated clamping jaws made from hardened aluminium-cast.
