Pipe and Tube Machining Tools

Global Tooling Solutions have a large range of carbide and HSS tooling to cover all the machining processes seen in the Pipe and Tube manufacturing industry.

Our customers are often impressed by large cost saving we can provide while maintaining the highest quality tools used in the maintenance of oil and gas pipelines.

Our tools can be specifically made for any type of materials you’re machining, from stainless steels to exotic materials such as Duplex, Super Duplex, lnconel and many more.

Pipe Bevelling

Pipeline integrity depends on high quality welding. Bevelling pipe ends is an essential part of achieving a high-quality weld. It increases the surface area of the weld site and results in stronger welds that are able to handle more stress, vital for pipes in fatigue-sensitive areas. Tools used in bevelling aim to produce perfect bevels consistently.

Understanding bevel geometry significantly influences weld quality, especially in automated welding systems. Our series of pipe beveling and cutting tools is perfect for large diameter and heavy walled pipe.

Spot face Machining

Spot facing is the operation of smoothing and squaring the surface around and at the end of a hole so as to provide a smooth seat for a nut or for the head of a screw. Often an Integral part to the whole pipe manufacturing process.

Our tools are designed to help machinists get the best finish, quality in the best time while holding tool life to the best standard. Key benefits include optimized cutting, flexibility of choice and vibration issue solutions.

We can supply tools for both spot facing and back spot facing. If you’re after a more bespoke cutting tool, we manufacture and modify cutters in all materials so we can tailor specifically for your machining needs.

Threading

Global Tooling Solutions can supply a wide range of non standard threading tools for your needs across a wide range of sectors such as Oil + Gas, Automotive, Aerospace, Telecommunications and more.

We can manufacture special carbide inserts for machining thread forms that have modified Major/Minor Ø, Pitch, Thread Angle, Helix angle, crest/root forms and more.

Parting-off

Parting off is often the smallest process in the total machining work of pipes, however, its often a target area for money saving. Our tooling focuses on evacuation of chips, reducing temperature and insert wear and improving surface finish.

We supply standard and non standard parting off inserts and tool holders for the best improvements in your machining process while bringing cost savings, quality finishes and prolonged tool life.
