FAST 6-36 Splitframe Clamshell Pipe Cold Cutting & Bevelling Machine - Self-Centring

FAST is the industry leading, self centring, low profile splitframe clamshell designed and developed in house in the GBC research and development facility. Our range of FAST machines has revolutionised the setup of clamshell lathes and reducing setup time by up to 60%.

A result of intensive planning, prototype design and field testing, the FAST 6-36 encapsulates the latest generation top quality mechanical components, and perfectly demonstrates GBC’s progressive culture and our dedication to remain at the forefront of the pursuit to design and develop innovative, market leading machinery.

The low profile split body design of the FAST self centring, low profile splitframe clamshell pipe cutting machines allows on site operators to utilise the machines to cut and bevel inline on lengths of pipe even where radial clearance is limited. The primary use of the FAST range of machines is applications where pipework requires removal or repair, or simply to cut and bevel the pipe in pipework fabrication.

The OD tracking and automatic indexing of the toolboxes allows for the cutting tools to cut and bevel simultaneously (limited wall thicknesses) with minimal operator interface for increased safety over such methods as grinding, flame or plasma cutting.

The FAST range of self centring portable splitframe clamshell lathes are designed to meet the demanding on site conditions operators face daily, and built with maximum durability in mind to withstand even the harshest environments.

The FAST self centring lightweight split frame clamshell pipe cutting machines range of machines are extremely versatile and are available with various drive options – electric (110v or 220v), pneumatic or hydraulic (hydraulic power pack required)
