Reduce your costs and lay the foundation for high-quality welds with the Steelmax BM21 (and the BM21 SS specifically for use on stainless steel). Inaccurate bevels and poor weld preparation are often the root cause of weld defects and excessive welding costs. Both machines utilize a high speed rotary milling head with ten carbide inserts to produce precise bevel angles from 0 to 60 degrees that dramatically improve fit up and all subsequent welding operations. Unlike flame or plasma cut weld preparation, the BM21 (and BM21 SS) produce no heat affected zone or distortion of the work piece. These portable tools can be carried anywhere and eliminate time consuming and costly material handling associated with moving plates around the shop to stationary burning and milling machines. The BM21 features an ergonomic design that includes vibration dampening technology to protect the operator and the machine during heavy continuous operation. Automatic thermal overload protection circuitry protects the motor from premature failure, providing a reliable tool that can withstand the toughest jobs. The BM21 can be used on plate and pipe without any additional accessories. FEATURES -
The BM20 Plus is a low-cost, heavy duty, portable hand operated beveling machine designed to mill accurate high quality bevels for weld preparation on plate and pipe. Utilizing a rotary milling head with ten indexable carbide inserts, the BM20 Plus will create precise bevel angles that improve fit-up time, eliminate weld defects and reduce welding consumable use. Unlike thermal cutting for weld preparation, the BM20 Plus produces no heat affected zone or distortion of the work piece. This simple to operate machine can be carried anywhere and eliminates costly material handling associated with moving plates around the shop to stationary burning and milling machines. Automatic thermal overload protection circuitry protects the motor from premature failure, providing a reliable tool that can withstand the toughest jobs. FEATURES- Portable, heavy-duty machine
- Equipped with guide rolls for easy operation
- Automatic motor overload protection
- Fitted with two milling heads for smooth and efficient operation
- Continuous bevel angle adjustment between 15°- 60°

The BM21 SS beveling machine is a customized version of our industry-leading BM21 beveling machine specifically designed for use on stainless steel plate and pipe. Inaccurate bevels and poor weld preparation often lead to weld defects and excessive welding costs. With expensive stainless steels, accurate weld preparation is even more important. The BM21 SS utilizes a rotary milling head with ten carbide inserts to produce precise bevel angles from 0 to 60 degrees that dramatically improve fit up and all subsequent welding operations. Designed specifically for stainless steel applications, The BM21 SS utilizes a lower speed motor to improve machining and all contact surfaces are made of stainless steel to eliminate carbon contamination of the stainless steel work piece. Unlike flame or plasma cut weld preparation, the BM21 SS produces no heat affected zone or distortion of the work piece. This portable tool can be carried anywhere and eliminates time consuming and costly material handling associated with moving plates around the shop to stationary burning and milling machines. The BM21 SS features an ergonomic design that includes vibration dampening technology to protect the operator and the machine during heavy continuous operation. Automatic thermal overload protection circuitry protects the motor from premature failure, providing a reliable tool that can withstand the toughest jobs. The BM21 SS can be used on plate and pipe without any additional accessories. FEATURES- All stainless steel contact surfaces to eliminate carbon contamination
- Single milling head using 10 indexable carbide inserts produces weld-ready bevels quickly and efficiently with low operator effort
- Fast and easy exchange of inserts with no need for special adjustment
- Working range from 0 to 60 degrees with continuous angle adjustment
- Simple bevel angle and bevel width setup
- Advanced vibration isolation protects both the operator and the machine

The Steelmax BM18 is a light weight portable beveling machine for use on flat, curved or rolled plate. It can also perform OD and ID bevels on pipe, including deburring, and can chamfer and countersink holes with a minimum diameter of 1-9/16" (40 mm). Interchangeable bevel milling heads, utilizing indexable carbide inserts, are available for bevel angles of 22.5°, 30°, 37.5°, 45° and 60°. A radius milling head is also available with indexable carbide inserts to radius plate edges with a perfect 2, 3, 4 and 5 mm radius. The BM18 is equipped with a simple bevel depth adjustment, overload protection and electronic speed control for use on a variety of materials, including steel and aluminum. The BM18 beveler is highly efficient for edge weld preparation and for producing radiused plate edges for optimal paint and coating adhesion. The compact design makes the BM18 an excellent tool for many fabrication applications FEATURES- Highly-efficient beveling machine - up to 10 times faster than grinding
