Steelmax offers a complete line of plate and pipe beveling solutions to meet even the most demanding steel fabrication requirements. From manual, hand-held machines to large automatic machines, Steelmax has you covered! Weld Preparation is one of those fundamentals which if not addressed properly can be a root cause of many problems. If you’re not making careful consideration of your beveling process, chances are it’s costing you money. Achieving complete joint penetration welds require accurate and consistent bevels that fall within your groove preparation tolerance. Inaccurate bevel geometry can create some costly problems. Lack of fusion, lack of penetration, burn through, underfilling and over welding can all be a result of your initial beveling process.
