Wachs Trav-L-Cutter, or “Travel Cutter,” is a portable inline pipe and pipeline cold cutting and beveling milling machine with 6in-72in O.D. (DN150–1800) on most pipe and vessel materials and schedules (optional drive chain sections required for OD greater than 48in).

Secured to the pipe by a special mounting/drive chain, the Trav-L-Cutter drives itself around the pipe as it simultaneously cuts and bevels, providing a machined surface ready for welding. It’s designed for severing and beveling all common pipe materials, wall thicknesses and sizes.

Now in its fourth generation, Wachs newly updated Trav-L-Cutter Super Duty, or SD, is reengineered with improved performance to make it more durable, more controllable, and more powerful. While externally identical to the previous model apart from its red top covers, it features new internals designed to make a tough machine tool even tougher.
