Introduction to the Equipment
E.H. Wachs Company Part No. 56-MAN-01, Rev. B 1
Introduction to the Equipment
The SDB 206/2 is a hand-held beveling machine for fast, accurate weld preps on pipe and tube
from 2.27" inside diameter (I.D.) to 6" outside diameter (O.D.). It can machine pipe or tube with
wall thickness up to 0.75". The machine clamps to the I.D. of the pipe being machined using a
three-leg mandrel design for square, rigid installation. Different sized clamp legs are used to cover
the machine’s entire range of pipe diameters.

Rotating Heads and Mandrels
The rotating head is equipped with four tool holders that allow up to four form tools to be used
simultaneously. You can face, bevel, and counterbore in one machining operation. Once you have
congured the tooling for a particular pipe size, you can easily move the machine from one pipe to
the next with no additional setup required.
Three different sized rotating heads and four styles of mandrels are available with the SDB 206.
The three rotating heads are shown in Figure 1-2. The standard mandrel is shown in Figure 1-3.

Mechanical Drives
The SDB 206 has two mechanical drives: cutting rotation and feed. The standard cutting drive for
the SDB 206/2 is a 2.5 HP air motor. Optional electric and hydraulic drives are also available.
The feed drive is manually operated using a convenient handle. A feed index gauge provides
precise feed measurement.
Figure 1-4. The feed drive includes a four-post handle and a gauge for measuring feed
distance.
Clamping Legs
The standard chuck legs built into the mandrel allow an I.D. clamping range of 2.27" to 2.92".
Seven standard sets of leg extensions are provided to extend the pipe I.D. capacity of the standard
machine up to 6.77". There are three identical legs in each set.

An optional set of extended range legs can be used to extend the pipe I.D. capacity up to 9.04".
Note that, to operate on pipe O.D.s over 6", you will need to install the optional 8" diameter head
(56-076-00).
