LC Clamshells

(Machine ID: 2 inches to 16 inches)
(Pipe OD: 0.5 inches to 16 inches)

With IDs ranging from 2” to 16”, these portable lathes fit tight working conditions. Lightweight but rigid, they require minimal radial and axial clearance for easy installation on in-line, closed-loop pipe. Thanks to a variety of attachments and accessories, you’ll have the flexibility for any job.

Maximum strength, minimal clearance

Working in confined spaces shouldn’t mean compromising on performance. Our low-clearance clamshell cutting tools are built for precision and versatility, offering spark-free cutting and beveling across industries like oil and gas, power generation and shipbuilding. With more bearings than our competitors, this line handles 2” to 16” OD pipe like a champ, delivering reliability for in situ pipe cutting applications.

Key features

  • Precision cutting and beveling for pipe sizes from 0.5” to 16” across all schedules and materials
  • Ideal for spark-free cutting in hazardous environments
  • Air caddy (air filter and oiler) included with air drive systems
  • Custom setups and drives available for your application
  • Made in the USA — built for YOU
