See the SKF-15 Handheld create precise bevels on plate edges in seconds

Overview

The SKF-15 Handheld Series puts professional plate beveling in the palm of your hand. At only 4-6kg, these ultra-portable machines deliver consistent bevels wherever the work is—in the field, on rooftops, inside vessels, or anywhere bringing parts to a stationary machine isn’t practical.

Key Advantages

  • Ultra-lightweight - Only 4-6kg for true portability
  • Single-hand operation - Ergonomic design reduces fatigue
  • Any edge shape - Straight, curved, or irregular
  • Go anywhere - Field service, confined spaces, heights

Which Model Should You Choose?

For maximum portability and most field work (3-15mm plates):
The SKF-15 is the lightest true professional beveler at just 4kg. It’s our top recommendation for field service technicians, maintenance crews, and anyone who needs to carry their beveler to the work. Perfect for touch-ups, repairs, and light fabrication.

For slightly thicker plates without sacrificing portability (5-18mm):
Choose the SKF-18 when you regularly work with plates up to 18mm. At 6kg it’s still highly portable, but the extra motor power (1500W vs 1100W) handles heavier cuts smoothly. Ideal for shops that need a bit more capacity.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between SKF-15 and SKF-18?

SKF-15 handles plates up to 15mm with 15mm max bevel width at 4kg. SKF-18 handles plates up to 18mm with 18mm max bevel width at 6kg. Choose based on your maximum plate thickness.

Can it bevel holes and cutouts?

Yes, the handheld design allows following any edge contour including circular openings, rectangular cutouts, and irregular shapes.

How does it compare to HDL Handheld series?

SKF-15 series is lighter and more portable (4-6kg vs 6-9kg), while HDL offers wider bevel widths. SKF-15 for maximum portability; HDL for heavier-duty handheld work.

Is it suitable for stainless steel?

Yes, the cold cutting process is ideal for stainless—no heat discoloration or carbide precipitation.

What power supply is required?

Both models use standard 220V single-phase power. Compact and jobsite-friendly.

How long do the blades last?

Blade life depends on material and usage. Typically 30-60 meters per blade set on mild steel. Carbide blades can be resharpened.

Can one person operate it all day?

Yes, the lightweight ergonomic design minimizes fatigue. Many operators use SKF-15 continuously throughout full shifts.
