USS Clamshells

(Pipe OD: 10 inches to 36 inches)

The USS portable lathe series combines the compact clearance of our LC clamshells with added thickness and strength for handling larger pipe. These pipe-cutting machines never flex or bend on diameters from 10″ to 36″ OD, ensuring consistent performance and accurate machining every time.

Powerful, portable and ready to go

Our industrial lathes have you covered anytime you’re working with big pipe in tight spots. Their rugged build gives you spark-free cutting in hazardous environments to keep you safe and productive. Thanks to a dual-bearing system, you get maximum tool rigidity and longer machine life while cutting and beveling simultaneously. Portable and durable, these clamshells fit right where you need them.
