Protective Equipment Requirements
For additional information on eye and face protection, refer
to Federal OSHA regulations, 29 Code of Federal Regula-
tions, Section 1910.133., Eye and Face Protection and
American National Standards Institute, ANSI Z87.1, Occu-
pational and Educational Eye and Face Protection. Z87.1 is
available from the American National Standards Institute,
Inc., 1430 Broadway, New York, NY 10018.
Hearing protectors are required in high noise areas, 85 dBA
or greater. The operation of other tools and equipment in the
area, reflective surfaces, process noises, and resonant struc-
tures can increase the noise level in the area. For additional
information on hearing protection, refer to Federal OSHA
regulations, 29 Code of Federal Regulations, Section
1910.95, Occupational Noise Exposure and ANSI S12.6
Hearing Protectors.
SAFETY LABELS
The following safety labels are on the SDB 103. If the stick-
ers are damaged or missing, replace them immediately. See
Chapter 10 for ordering information.
Always wear impact resistant eye pro-
tection while operating or working near
this equipment.
WARNING
CAUTION
Personal hearing protection is recom-
mended when operating or working near
this tool.

Introduction to the
Equipment
SDB 103 SMALL DIAMETER BEVELER
The SDB 103 is a portable pipe prepping machine that can
face, bevel, compound bevel, J-prep, and counterbore open
ended pipe and tubing. The handheld SDB 103 mounts on
the pipe inside diameter (I.D.) using a self-centering man-
drel clamp system. It will prep open-ended pipe and tubing
from 1.16” to 4.18” I.D. (29.5-106.2 mm), and up to 4.5”
(114.3 mm) outside diameter (O.D.).
The SDB 103 can be easily installed by one operator in just
a few minutes. Different sized clamp leg sets are provided
to cover the full range of operation. Select and install the
appropriate leg set for the pipe you are machining, install
the tooling, and mount the machine on the pipe using the
simple drawbar mechanism.
An air or electric motor drives the rotating tool head. The
operator feeds the tooling into the pipe face using a manual
feed handle. A calibrated feed dial allows precise material
removal. The tool head has three tools slots, allowing mul-
tiple facing, beveling, and counterboring operations to be
performed simultaneously.
The machine includes all accessories and tools necessary
for operation, and is shipped in a durable, waterproof stor-
age case.

Figure 3-3. The SDB standard tooling allows the
operator to face, bevel, J-prep, and counterbore pipe
and tube.
Optional Mandrels
A small-diameter conversion kit (16-401-00) with a
smaller mandrel and tool head is available. The conversion
kit allows you to install the machine on pipe I.D.s from
0.875” to 1.75” (22.2-31.8 mm).
Collet-stylemandrelsarealso
available for pipe or tube. Call
E.H. Wachs customer service
to discuss your application’s
requirements.
The standard and small I.D. mandrels automatically center
the machine on the I.D. and squares it to the centerline of
the pipe. If you need to mount the machine in a pipe that is
on a bend or that has limited I.D. access, an independent
fitting mandrel (16-414-00) with dowel-style clamp legs is
available as an option.
With the independent fitting mandrel, you can adjust the
machine to be squared to the pipe end surface, rather than
the centerline. (This mandrel can also be used to mount the
FF 206.) A squaring plate for aligning the machine during
installation is provided with the mandrel.

nents necessary to use it as
an SDB 103. A conversion kit
(16-420-00) is available to
convert the FF 206 to the
SDB 103.
With the FF 206 conversion kit, the SDB 103 can be quickly
converted to a flange facing machine. The FF 206 will fin-
ish raised and flat flange faces from 2.0” (50.8 mm) I.D. up
to 6.0” (152 mm) O.D. The FF 206 can be purchased as a
fully integrated machine, or as a kit to upgrade the SDB
103.
Figure 3-6. The photo shows the components of the
FF 206, including the SDB 103 machine.
The FF 206 uses a radial-feed tool slide to advance the cut-
ting tool across the flange face. A starwheel on the slide is
advanced by striking mechanical trips as the machine
rotates. The starwheel turns a feed screw that drives the
slide in the feed direction.
Various finishes can be cut with the FF 206 by varying the
number of engaged trips on the trip ring. Finish options
include flange face, record groove, or RMS 63 finish.

SPECIFICATIONS
OPERATING ENVELOPE
The following drawings illustrate the overall dimensions
and operating envelopes for the SDB 103 with air and elec-
tric motors, and for the FF 206.
Machine capacity SDB 103: Pipe and tube 0.875” (22.2 mm)
I.D. to 4.5” (114 mm) O.D.
FF 206: Flange O.D. from 2.0” (51 mm) to
6.0” (152 mm).
Machining functions
(SDB 103) Facing, O.D. beveling, compound beveling, J prepping, and I.D. counterboring of open-
end pipe and tube. Use up to four tools
simultaneously.
Machining functions
