Watch the compact ISE-T Series access tight spaces for internal pipe beveling
Overview
The ISE T-Model Series represents our core lineup of ID-mounted (internal expansion) pipe beveling machines. Designed for precision weld preparation on small to medium diameter pipes, these portable units deliver consistent bevel quality across boiler manufacturing, heat exchanger fabrication, and pressure vessel construction.
Key Advantages
- Self-centering expansion - Automatically aligns to pipe center, no manual adjustment needed
- Compact T-configuration - Vertical motor design for tight spaces and row tube applications
- Cold cutting process - No heat-affected zone, safe for sensitive environments
- Interchangeable drives - Same clamping unit works with electric, pneumatic, or Metabo motors
Which Model Should You Choose?
For boiler tubes and instrument tubing (18-80mm ID):
The ISE-T-30 and ISE-T-80 are our go-to models for boiler manufacturers. Lightweight enough for extended overhead work, yet powerful enough for production runs. Most boiler shops keep both sizes on hand.
For heat exchangers and process piping (40-160mm ID):
Choose the ISE-T-120 or ISE-T-159. These mid-range models handle the sweet spot of industrial piping work. If you’re uncertain between sizes, the T-159 offers more flexibility with minimal weight penalty.
For pressure vessel nozzles and headers (80-350mm ID):
The ISE-T-252 and ISE-T-352 bridge the gap between tube work and large pipe applications. Perfect for pressure vessel fabricators who need precision on nozzle preparations.
For large drums and main headers (250-830mm ID):
Our ISE-T-426, T-630, and T-850 models serve heavy industrial applications. The T-630 is particularly popular among power plant contractors for its broad coverage of common header sizes.

Cold Cutting Process
No heat-affected zone, preserves material properties and eliminates fire hazards.
Portable & Lightweight
Smallest models under 4kg, easily carried to job site for field operations.
Multiple Bevel Angles
Adjustable from 0° to 45°, supports V, U, and compound bevel profiles.
Interchangeable Drive
Same clamping unit works with electric, pneumatic, or Metabo motor heads.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between T-Model and II-Model?
T-Model has a vertical motor (T-shape) for minimal radial clearance, with max wall thickness ≤15mm. II-Model has an angled motor configuration designed for heavier cuts up to ≤75mm wall thickness.
Can I use pneumatic drive in all models?
Yes, all T-Model sizes are available with ISE (electric), ISP (pneumatic), or ISM (Metabo) drive options. Specify your preference when ordering.
What bevel angles are supported?
Standard angles include 0°, 30°, 37.5°, and 45°. Custom angles can be achieved with adjustable tool holders.
How do I select the right model for my pipe?
Match the model to your pipe's inner diameter (ID). Each model covers a specific ID range with some overlap. For pipes at the boundary, choose the smaller model for lighter weight or larger model for more rigidity.
What power supply is required?
Electric models (ISE/ISM) use 220V AC single phase. Pneumatic models (ISP) require 0.6-0.8 MPa compressed air supply.
How long does a typical bevel take?
Most bevels complete in 30-90 seconds depending on pipe diameter and wall thickness. Setup time adds another 1-2 minutes for clamping and adjustment.
Are replacement blades and spare parts available?
Yes, carbide inserts, blade holders, expansion cones, and other wear parts are stocked. Standard delivery within 3-5 business days.
