Abstract:
An apparatus for cutting a pipe has a base comprising a pipe support having at least one set of lower rollers and an upper frame supporting a cutting apparatus and at least one upper roller. The upper frame is moveable relative to the base between an open position in which the pipe may be inserted between the at least one set of lower rollers and the at least one upper roller, and a clamping position in which the pipe is in contact with the at least one set of lower rollers and the at least one upper roller. The cutting apparatus comprises a grooving member configured to provide an annular groove on an outer surface of the pipe, a cutting member configured to cut the pipe, and a chamfering member configured to provide a chamfer on the outer surface of the pipe between a location of the annular groove and a location of the cut in the pipe.

Claim (Index 1):
