Great tool from a great manufacturer . I would like to include a plasma cutter in the methods. I remember the video where Bob cut a bevel using the torch and a burning guide
Weld.com Dear Weld.com team... is there any chance to make a simple and short demonstration regarding terminology of Manual vs. Mechanised vs. Semi Automatic vs. Automatic Welding and their methods... please
That Metabo machine is working using a milling cutter. The machines I used when I was an apprentice many years ago were Trumpf , those did work using a nibbler action. www.trumpf.com/en_US/products/elektrowerkzeuge/beveler/. They were good machines but after you certainly knew you have been using it , much like you would if you had used an angle grinder.
@@daniele3275 I was NOT happy about Hitachi spinning off their nail guns and whatnot ... until I saw the Metabo name on them. I think Metabo was making them before anyway. I don't think I've ever had a "bad" Metabo tool in my hands unless it was slap wore TF out.
LOL..So, if I drive 30 mph I get a 30 degree angle, 60 mph I get 60 degree angle. Not sure how it works but it seems simple enough....LOL. Bet you don't have many tailgaters.
Loved how the Metabo was cutting through, mahn, until I saw the price. If I had the money, I'd buy it without batting an eye. Great video guys. I always look forward to your content. Always the best.
You forgot filing. It works well enough for smaller/thinner stuff. Also good for when you are in a basement and the grinder would get grit in everything, including your tools.
I worked in a shop that did big cryogenic pressure/vacuum vessels for Science labs. I had to grind 2 sheets of 3/8" 12' stainless and when I was getting to the last 3' my foreman came up to me and said "you know we have a plate beveler." I think I made up a few new curse words while the weld shop laughed at me. Looking back it was funny.
I am currently building a motorised track to move my plasma torch at a steady pace at a perfect angle right now.. Always handy to have some sort of bevel machine no matter what form it takes )
Beveler for sure, but with my budget as a hobbyist, grinder Alumium can be done with woodworking equipment so a table saw or miter saw will work terrific.
I'm the ONE FUCKING GUY that keeps guards on grinders. I used to use 9" grinders at a shop, and you couldn't find a guard to save your LIFE! Always made me a little nervous, but I did learn to be really careful, and I (unlike some of my co-workers) have all my digits firmly attached!
Remember guys all abrasives are good for steel even containminated with other metals . Never mix up from this order steel, aluminum , stainless , you can mix down tho
I know it’s not the best but damn do I love running a plasma cutter. Don’t leave me in a room alone with a plasma cutter and the metal you need for a project the next day.
Why cut it twice? A standard wood circ saw with a carbide blade will cut 1\2" aluminum like you are ripping plywood. There are circ saws that will do the same with steel.
I use carbide bit woodworking tools for beveling aluminum because grinding will embed grit into the metal. Works like a charm and costs almost nothing compared to the Metabo. Hell for that price you can get a used mill.
I use my plasma cutter for some beveling but I want a Metabo I don't really need one but I want one. Metabo angle grinders are on sale now at Canada Welding supply for 149.00 can they ship to the States go deal for all.
I DIDN'T QUIT GET THE NAME OF THE LAST PRODUCT BUT I WAS WONDERING IF IT COULD BEVEL PIPE,HOW BIG OF PIPE AND WHAT WOULD BE THE THICKEST WALL THICKNESS,SCH:40,SCH:80 ECT...
Personally we have a plasma that cuts bevels onto the profiles where we want quick lick with the grinder all is sweet... Failing that we throw it in the mill
Metric sucks, I was raised on U.S. Standard System LOL (also called the English, Imperial or American) Thank you any way. When they put American system numbers on it I`ll Think abt it...
Yeah Metric sucks because it's so simple to read accurately with little to no time or mistakes. Raised on both, can read both but will always prefer metric. If you can count 1 to any number you can work in metric, of course that's if you can count lol😎
Metric system is for pussies! Any dim-wit can tell you that 2.35km is exactly 2350m, or that 1.25bar is equivalent to a weight of about 12.5t evenly distributed over an area of 1 sq m, or a depth of about 12.5m in water, but it takes a real man (not a woman, nor child) to tell you that 2.35mi (and it's mi, mind you, not nm) is exactly 12408ft, or 148896in, or that 1.25lb/sqr in is equivalent to a depth of about 3ft in water.
cant recall the dates ... BUT USA was one of the first countries to sign up to Metric system which is soooooo much easier than the old British inches and Lb-foot-umberels-length per cricket pitch system. And it seems to be religious nutters who continue to block its use for the people who could be making USA a much more prosperous place. Does anyone is the US know about this????????? Hi from Ballynahinch UK
@@williammclachlan8537 The older generation is very stubborn. I'm in welding school now and we use both systems interchangeably, for the most part. In previous lives I was a bicycle mechanic and a US Navy machinist. I'm comfortable with metric but prefer imperial. I loves me some fractions! I do a lot of woodworking also, and imperial units just feel right for that type of work. When I was training to run nuclear reactors in the Navy, our math instructor always had us give our answers in bizarre units of measurement - distance would be in milliSmoots, speed would be football field/fortnights, time was megashakes, etc. The thought was we might be called upon to work in an engine room of a captured or disabled foreign vessel, and we needed to be able to do unit conversions quickly and accurately.
Note: The third tool used is a "beveler", not a "nibbler". Doing a search for a nibbler will bring up a different tool.
Great tool from a great manufacturer .

Best tool for cutting bevels is always the apprentice.
Forgot that one
A true Union attitude,that doesn't make America Great.
@Wroger Wroger It's a joke brother.
@Wroger Wroger You need to see a therapist.
@Wroger Wroger damn can i come work for you?? Wish i could somebody around dallas with that attitude
400grit sandpaper. Leaves a perfectly clean bevel and only takes a couple of days.
Have you thought about using a machinist hand scraper? Takes a little longer, but you can get a perfect bevel.
Thats how I do it.
For smaller bevel jobs, plasma cutting is also a great option
I like to hang my plates off my bumper and go for a drive, eventually you get a nice bevel!
LOL..So, if I drive 30 mph I get a 30 degree angle, 60 mph I get 60 degree angle. Not sure how it works but it seems simple enough....LOL. Bet you don't have many tailgaters.

Great video guys. I always look forward to your content. Always the best.
The metabo is crazy smooth it's like a hand held milling machine so surprised it doesn't jump around
It's pretty crazy how smooth it is.
Low rpm for carbide inserts.
I noticed that you were measuring the angle of metal you removed as opposed to the angle of the plate's edge. Is this an industry standard?
The Metabo beveler is quick and efficient. I'd use it day in day out
That beveler looks like a game changer
I usually use a quarter sheet sanding block. Sure, it takes time, but the results speak for themselves.
Dani2wheels you charge by the hour don’t you! :-D
great! I was curious about those beveler tools.
They're pretty awesome. Looking forward to seeing how long the teeth last. We'll check back in when the first pair go.

Cold!
@@Welddotcom I wish. It was the end of July
Love the videos! Any idea when or if Bob Moffatt will return?
Better not be in quarantine hidin from us.
Cutting plate or beveling i beams track torch works good.
I am currently building a motorised track to move my plasma torch at a steady pace at a perfect angle right now.. Always handy to have some sort of bevel machine no matter what form it takes )
Horizontal bandsaw with material stop works well.
Metal circular saws work very well as well
G&E Shaper would be my pick.
I bevel with oxy propane truck beams and plates till 45 degrees perfect from there and on things start getting difficult.
I figured. Thanks. Now I can go back to working on my starship.
Never realized oxy acetelyne was reaction
Beveler for sure, but with my budget as a hobbyist, grinder
Alumium can be done with woodworking equipment so a table saw or miter saw will work terrific.
For aluminum you can use a router if you're careful.
Curious, How does the Metabo Beveler do on pipe? Is there a different attachment for it?
works great on square pipe
Ive had good luck with a aggressive flap disk
The whole world: metric is super easy
USA: fuck that fractions are sweet
You should test mancub to try to guess different tig machines.
I'm the ONE FUCKING GUY that keeps guards on grinders. I used to use 9" grinders at a shop, and you couldn't find a guard to save your LIFE! Always made me a little nervous, but I did learn to be really careful, and I (unlike some of my co-workers) have all my digits firmly attached!

Can you weld zinc pipe stick
thank you !!

My two different Milwaukee metal cutting circular saws have no tilt. They only cut at 90°
lambertmt I’ve put a block of wood under the saw plate tilting it enough for 25 deg bevels.
Get a steelmax circular saw for metal the deck tilts for bevel cuts just like a wood saw its awesome
Carol Florian I was thinking about getting one.
The best way is oxycut with IK12 Beetle
Track cutting eliminates the need to grind both edges.
I use my plasma cutter for some beveling but I want a Metabo I don't really need one but I want one. Metabo angle grinders are on sale now at Canada Welding supply for 149.00 can they ship to the States go deal for all.
I want that Metabo beveller
I keep Chuck Norris on speed dial to come whoop some plate for me.
Milling machine !
Polypropylene is a plastic? Thats what bumper skins are typically made from. Propylene is what you are think of i believe.
I DIDN'T QUIT GET THE NAME OF THE LAST PRODUCT BUT I WAS WONDERING IF IT COULD BEVEL PIPE,HOW BIG OF PIPE AND WHAT WOULD BE THE THICKEST WALL THICKNESS,SCH:40,SCH:80 ECT...
It's in the video. You can watch it again for free if you like.
Also, it's ok to not use capslock.
What about the Bevelmatic by Ronco? And if you order in the next ten minutes, you get as a bonus, a Pocket Fisherman (for an additional shipping fee).
I like to use my plasma cutter
Best way to cut your bevel is definitely 5axis cnc plasma cutter haha
Why not plasma?
hand held milling machine
Check CEVISA bevelling machines
Heck 1.5 hp beveler
Its a Beveler,, I only watched this because it is in metric.
Personally we have a plasma that cuts bevels onto the profiles where we want quick lick with the grinder all is sweet... Failing that we throw it in the mill
Third!
Fuckin hell. I expected $500-$700
my cheap harbor freight band saw or spend the money on a good circular saw and blade and it will do a hole lot more and still be a hole lot cheaper
You can bevel with a metal saw, but the benefit of the beveler is it's accuracy. We have a metal saw and should've thrown that in there as well.
Plasma
👍😎
Fourth
REAL men use a file to put a bevel in 1 inch thick plate...
F plate pipe welders make it happen
If you can't use ceramic consumables to grind all day just quit
🤘🏻
wow,,plate beveller all day and nite
First! 🤙🏼
