BM-30 WBS Portable Weld Bead Shaver

PRICE

The BM30-WBS is an easy-to-use, portable, heavy-duty machine specifically designed for the removal of excess weld seams up to 1/2″(11 mm) high and 1-3/16″ (30 mm) wide. It efficiently mills a weld seam down to a level and continuous surface with the parent metal, preparing it for painting, coating, or further processing.

Equipped with a powerful motor and electronic speed control ranging from 1800 to 5850 rpm, the BM30-WBS optimizes cutting conditions for superior performance. The rotary face milling head ensures smooth operation and exceptional efficiency without creating heat-affected zones or workpiece distortion.

For precision, the BM30-WBS features a guide rail with a magnetic clamping system to maintain a consistent position against the workpiece.

Features and Benefits:

  • Comfort and Ergonomics: Designed for ease of use and operator comfort.
  • Powerful Electric Motor: Delivers robust performance.
  • Excess Weld Removal: Capable of removing welds up to 1/2″ (11 mm) high and 1-3/16″ (30 mm) wide.
  • Undercutting Capability: Undercuts to a depth of up to 1.5 mm.
  • Continuous Milling Height Adjustment: Allows precise control of milling height.
  • Efficient Milling Head: Equipped with 5 two-sided indexable cutting inserts.
  • Electronic Speed Control: Adjustable between 1800–5850 rpm.
  • Overload Protection: Ensures durability and safety.

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.
