Desktop Pipe Cutting & Beveling Machine
Heavy-duty stationary pipe cutting and beveling machines for workshop prefabrication. DCM-325/426/630 models cover 50-630mm pipes with simultaneous cut & bevel capability.
See the DCM Series perform simultaneous pipe cutting and beveling in a single operation
Overview
The DCM Stationary Series represents our premium workshop solution for high-volume pipe prefabrication. Unlike portable beveling machines that mount onto the pipe, these stationary units bring the pipe to the machine—providing superior rigidity, precision, and throughput for production environments.
Key Advantages
- Simultaneous operation - Cut and bevel in one pass, 50% time savings
- Electric self-centering - Automatic pipe alignment, no manual adjustment
- Cold cutting - Water-cooled, zero heat-affected zone
- Production ready - High throughput for shop fabrication
Why Choose Stationary Over Portable?
| Factor | Stationary (DCM) | Portable |
|---|---|---|
| Throughput | High volume, continuous | Single pipe, intermittent |
| Precision | ±0.1mm repeatability | ±0.3mm typical |
| Setup Time | Once per batch | Each pipe |
| Operator Fatigue | Minimal | Significant |
| Best For | Shop fabrication | Field work |
Operating Principle
- Load - Position pipe on V-rollers, slide into chuck
- Clamp - Electric chuck self-centers and grips OD
- Set - Adjust bevel angle and cutting depth
- Cut - Cutter head rotates around stationary pipe
- Unload - Release chuck, remove finished pipe
The entire cycle takes 3-8 minutes depending on pipe size, with minimal operator intervention.
Which Model Should You Choose?
For general pipe shops (up to 12” OD):
The DCM-325 handles the vast majority of pipe spool work in fabrication shops. It’s our most popular stationary beveler, offering the best balance of capacity, footprint, and cost. Ideal if you mainly work with Schedule 40/80 pipes in standard sizes.
For medium to heavy production (up to 16” OD):
Choose the DCM-426 if you regularly process 14-16” pipes or need extra wall thickness capacity (up to 25mm). Many power plant contractors prefer this model for its versatility across steam and process piping.
For large diameter work (up to 24” OD):
The DCM-630 is our flagship stationary machine for heavy industrial applications. Essential for offshore, LNG, and major petrochemical projects where 18-24” pipes are common.

Key Features
Simultaneous Cut & Bevel
Performs cutting and beveling in a single operation, reducing processing time by 50% compared to separate operations.
Electric Self-Centering Chuck
4-jaw (DCM-325/426) or 6-jaw (DCM-630) electric chuck automatically centers the pipe, eliminating manual alignment.
Cold Cutting Technology
Circulating water cooling system prevents heat buildup, preserving material properties with zero heat-affected zone.
Heavy-Duty Stability
Rigid base construction up to 2000kg ensures vibration-free machining for consistent surface finish.
Variable Speed Control
Adjustable rotation speed (0-35 r/min) allows optimization for different pipe diameters and wall thicknesses.
Multiple Bevel Profiles
Supports V, I, U, and double-V bevel configurations with adjustable angles.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can the DCM machine cut without beveling?
Yes, the DCM series can perform cutting only, beveling only, or simultaneous cutting and beveling depending on tooling configuration.
What is the power requirement?
All models require AC 380V 50Hz three-phase power. DCM-325 uses 4kW, DCM-426 uses 5.5kW, and DCM-630 uses 7.5kW.
What materials can be processed?
Carbon steel, stainless steel, alloy steel, and other weldable metals. The cold cutting process works on all common pipe materials.
How long does a typical cut take?
Processing time depends on pipe diameter and wall thickness. A typical 200mm OD × 10mm wall pipe takes approximately 3-5 minutes for simultaneous cut and bevel.
Is operator training required?
Basic training is recommended. We provide operation manuals and can arrange on-site training for volume orders.
What cooling system is used?
Closed-loop water circulation maintains tool temperature below 50°C, extending carbide insert life to 500+ cuts per edge.
What bevel angles are available?
Standard tooling produces 30°, 37.5°, and 45° V-bevels. J-prep and compound bevels available with optional tooling.
