If you weld 2" to 8" pipe...
DON'T GO INTO THE FIELD WITHOUT YOUR 4X4!
The 4X4™ is Tri Tool's innovative solution for economically beveling pipe for
companies that already have Model 700 Power Drives! The 4X4 mounts
into the pipe I.D. and uses the Model 700 as its drive source.

What benefits do you get, when using a portable pipe beveler?
Over the years, portable pipe bevelers have proven to offer significant cost and labor savings compared to traditional hand grinding methods. As welding technology has advanced, the need for uniform, repeatable bevels required that portable machinery be designed to produce reliable bevels in the often harsh and rugged conditions of field machining. Ideally, the new machine would be powered by dependable power sources already in use. This was the origin of the 4X4 Beveler. The 4X4 was designed to generate accurate bevels with easy setup and operation, and best of all, you can now produce bevels with the same drive used for your power threading. Pipe can be prepared for welding in just a few minutes. You'll have much better fit-ups and welding results, and that means you save time and money.
· Faster Weld Prep · Better Fit-Ups · Superior Welds
· Less Weld Problems · Less Labor Costs
 The 4X4 Beveler, when used with your existing power drive, turns a universal pipe stand into an effective field pipe beveling workstation!
 The 4X4 Beveler's cutting head offers a full safety cage, but still provides excellent visibility of the cut with the "chip" indicating the optimal feed rate.
The Beveling Solution...
Many pipe cutting techniques produce a rough, irregular end which is probably not square to the run of pipe. An ID (inside diameter) mounted pipe beveler solves several problems at once. First, since it mounts in the pipe end, all of the torque of the cut is carried by the pipe. This means the machine won't want to twist out of your grasp and reduces operator fatigue. Secondly, the beveled end will be square to the centerline of the pipe so that you can keep a uniform center, even with multiple welds. Most important of all, the "weld preped" pipe end guarantees an optimal (industry standard) 37.5 bevel, ensuring you will have ideal root pass access, so critical to a good weld. This bevel provides uniform transmittal of heat into the parent metal and controls the amount of filler metal required. All of this adds up to superior, repeatable welds, each and every time!
What makes the Tri Tool® 4X4™ Portable Beveler so versatile?
For the first time, you can do practical pipe weld preparation with your conventional pipe threading power drive. With this tool's minimal set-up time and simple operation, field weld preparation has never been so easy! Tri Tool's 4X4 Beveler has been designed to withstand the rigors of field use with a rugged cast cutting head and multiple bit mounting stations. This means that there are three mounting positions for each pipe size if the bit mounting holes become worn. Tough steel mandrel & mounting blocks ensure maximum rigidity for smooth cutting while accepting the machine's torque. The proven triple blade mounting system automatically centers and squares the machine in the pipe end and a shear pin system provides safety against jamming or torque overload to prevent damage to the machine from operator error. Easy access drive knobs give excellent tactile control over the feed pressure and the open cage cutting head provides a clear view of the cut, essential to determine the optimal feed rate. A safety cover prevents the pipe beveler from being removed from the pipe with the power drive engaged with the cutting head. A single release knob allows quick removal of the torque bracket and feed knob assembly. Get all the features you would want in a portable machine tool, backed by the best customer support in the business. When it comes to portable pipe beveling, depend on the name known throughout the world for quality and reliability, Tri Tool Inc.

What makes the new 4X4™ tool bit superior to traditional tool bits?
Even the best cutting machine can only cut as good as its bit. The 4X4's unique bit is designed with four precision ground cutting edges for maximum functioality. If one edge wears out, you can turn and remount the bit with a fresh cutting edge. In fact, that's how the 4X4 got it's name - 4X the bit life and 4X the economy! Over a quarter century of manufacturing experience producing Tri Tool® specialized pipe cutting equipment has gone into this bit's advanced geometry, for the utmost in reliability and smooth cutting performance. Tri Tool Inc. produces their own bits, specially coated with a proprietary process that results in the finest pipe cutting bits available in the industry today.
