SOLON, Ohio -Swagelok has added five new tools to the company's equipment product line to complement its orbital welding equipment and tubing offering. Designed for portability and ease of use, the expanded product selection includes four new tube facing tools and one cutting tool. The tools are intended for use with 316 stainless steel, carbon steel, titanium, and most nickel-based alloys.
Tube Facing Tools: The new tube facing tools produce flat, smooth, square, burr-free, and chamfer-free tube ends. Available in four different sizes, the tools feature high-performance, 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. The new tools include:
o TF16 - For preparation of thin-walled tubing from 1/8 to 1 in. (3 to 25 mm) OD. The TF16 is available in both electric and cordless versions.
o TF24 - For preparation of thin-walled tubing from 1/8 to 1 1/2 in. (3 to 38 mm) OD. Available in both electric and cordless versions, including a 90 degree angle option.
