BM18 Portable Beveling Machine

PRICE

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

Application Use Cases

The S14-M suits mechanical fabrication, transportation, and construction work where angled cuts matter as much as a clean edge. It handles pipe, plate, channel, conduit, angle iron, metal studs, rebar, and tubing, making it useful for structural steel fabrication, custom metal frames, and repeatable angle cuts on production runs. Its 1750W motor and portable 72 lb frame support both jobsite work and continuous shop use.

Frequently Asked Questions

The S14-M offers a wider +/-46° mitering range compared to the S14's 45°, plus a heavier cast-aluminum base for added stability. Both share the same 1750W motor, 14" blade, and pipe capacity, with the S14-M priced for its extra versatility.

The S14-M comes in both 120V/60Hz (SM-S-14-M) and 230V/50Hz (SM-S-14-M-230) versions, so it runs on standard shop power or 230V circuits depending on your facility's setup.

A newly designed 14" laser-cut TCT blade for mild steel is included. The 1" arbor bore accepts other compatible 14" blades, so operators can swap in one suited to aluminum, stainless, or thinner materials.

The S14-M miters up to +/-46°, letting operators dial in custom angles for fabrication layouts. The precision miter table locks at the set angle, delivering repeatable, accurate cuts across a production run.

At 72 lbs, the S14-M is portable enough for jobsite use while still built for shop duty. Steelmax positions it for both field and shop environments, making it a flexible pick either way.
