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.
