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.

Pipe machining apparatuses are provided. In one aspect, a pipe machining apparatus includes a tool support adapted to both part or completely cut a pipe into multiple portions, and machine a groove in an exterior surface of the pipe. In another aspect, the apparatus has a low radial clearance such that the tool support does not project a significant distance beyond a pipe. In a further aspect, a method of parting and machining a groove in a pipe with a single pipe machining apparatus is provided.
