Pipe machining apparatuses, tool supports, and methods of operating pipe machining apparatuses are provided. In one aspect, a pipe machining apparatus includes a frame, a tool carrier coupled to and movable relative to the frame, and a tool support coupled to and movable with the tool carrier relative to the frame. The tool support is adapted to support a tool and move the tool in a first direction toward a pipe at a first increment and move the tool in a second direction away from the pipe at a second increment. The second increment is larger than the first increment.

A hybrid cutting apparatus and a method of cutting a groove are provided. The hybrid cutting apparatus includes: a main body that is connected with a rotation shaft of a machine tool; a grooving tool that is coupled to one side of the main body and for forming a groove at an interior circumference of a workpiece; and a tool position control means that controls a position of the grooving tool to correspond to a cutting surface position of the workpiece.
