Mactech models available for rent or purchase:
LC Clamshell Pipe Cutting Tool
The LC (Low Clearance) series is designed to fit into tight working areas as well as minimise machine weight. These clamshells are lightweight, but retain rigidity during operation.
USS Clamshell Pipe Cutting Tool
The USS series combines the low clearance of the LC while providing additional thickness and strength. The USS clamshells offer heavy duty construction for even greater rigidity during operation. Larger diameter clamshells must be rigid to maintain a consistent and accurate machining process.
WD Clamshell Pipe Cutting Tool
The WD (Worm Drive) Clamshell's gear system provides the necessary power to cut extra heavy wall pipe and operate on pipes greater than 40". Mactech's lare diameter clamshells are exceptional OD mount facing tools for heat exchanger resurfacing.
