A pipe end machining device configured to machine an end of a pipe includes an outer housing, a spindle rotatably mounted within the outer housing and configured to carry tool supports and cutting tools, a mounting assembly configured to be attached to the pipe, a stem extending from the mounting assembly and connected to the spindle by an interengagement which allows the spindle to move linearly relative to the stem, but prevents rotational movement of the spindle relative to the stem, and a locking assembly attached to the stem and configured to fix the vertical position of the outer housing and the spindle relative to the mounting assembly.

An apparatus and method of using an apparatus for refacing a tubular connection is provided. In one example, the apparatus has a mandrel connectable to a threaded portion of a tubular connection and two face plates bearing cutters for refacing surfaces of the tubular connection. In this example, the cutting is controlled by an engaging nut moving along a threaded portion of a drive shaft, and the two face plates may be spaced apart at a fixed distance to maintain the distance between the torque-stop surface and the primary surface after refacing. Also, the apparatus uses a locking pin to assist in tightening or loosening the mandrel into place using the remainder of the apparatus. An air-oil system is provided to supply air and oil to the cutting surfaces as the apparatus refaces the shoulders of the connection. An exemplary pin refacer and an exemplary box refacer are both disclosed.

An automatic movable machine includes a vertical plate and a support plate are fixed, in a perpendicular direction to each other, to a semicircular chamfering angle adjusting plate fixed to a head of the movable chamfering machined, a moving body is provided at the vertical plate on the inside of the pipe or the lower side of the metal sheet, and equipped with an internal roller regulated by a spring contact with the inside of the pipe or the lower side of the metal sheet, the support plate has a fixing bolt, a fixing plate is provided to the support plate, and provided at the front of a gear box, and external rollers are provided at the front of the gear box, and allow the speed of the rotational force of a motor, to be reduced in the gear box and transmit the speed-reduced rotational force.

A refacing tool includes a feed assembly that holds a first set of cutters positioned for refacing the inner shoulder of a pin or box end of a tubular and a second set of cutters positioned for refacing the outer shoulder of the pin or box end. The axial spacing between the first set of cutters and the second set of cutters is fixed and determined by the geometry of the feed assembly. The refacing tool can simultaneously reface the inner shoulder and the outer shoulder, as well as chamfers.

An apparatus for surface finishing a flange surface of a flange of a pipe includes a frame assembly, a drive assembly coupled to the frame assembly, and a bracket assembly coupled to the frame assembly. The flange is clamped between the frame assembly and the drive assembly. The drive assembly circumferentially translates the apparatus around the pipe. A power tool is coupled to the bracket assembly to perform the surface finishing operation on the flange surface of the flange.

Beveling tools having a variety of features are described. The tools can utilize a combination of handles, a protective external frame, guide rollers that are positionally adjusted by swing arms with timing lobes, or by an alternative guide bar mounting system, a helical knurled drive roller, guide rollers that have a convex or crowned face, skewed guide rollers, a positive clutch assembly for governing force applied to the guide rollers, a hand crank assembly for moving the tool when mounted on a workpiece, position adjustment provisions for varying the position of a milling head, and indicators providing visual feedback to an operator.

An automatic movable machine configured such that: a vertical plate and a support plate are fixed, in a perpendicular direction to each other, to a semicircular chamfering angle adjusting plate fixed to a head of the movable chamfering machine; a moving body is provided at the vertical plate on the inside of the pipe or the lower side of the metal sheet, and equipped with an internal roller regulated by a spring contact with the inside of the pipe or the lower side of the metal sheet; the support plate has a fixing bolt; a fixing plate is provided to the support plate, and provided at the front of a gear box; and external rollers are provided at the front of the gear box, and allow the speed of the rotational force of a motor, to be reduced in the gear box and transmit the speed-reduced rotational force.

In one aspect, a tool support for a pipe machining apparatus includes a support arm defining a groove therein and configured to support a tool, and a guide member at least partially positioned in the groove to allow movement of the support arm in a first direction and inhibit movement of the support arm in a second direction. In one aspect, a tool support includes a one-piece unitarily formed body member defining a cavity there through, and a tool support arm at least partially positioned in the cavity and configured to translate within the cavity. In one aspect, a tool support includes a first translating member configured to translate a tool toward and away from a pipe, and a second translating member configured to translate the tool toward and away from the pipe. The second translating member is coupled to and moveable relative to the first translating member.
