Circle Cutting
HOB-O®
The DC HOB-O® lightweight hole borer is easily carried to the work, and is quickly centered on the workpiece. All that you need is a single center punch mark. Set the hole radius on the built-in scale, light the torch, start your cut and hit the switch to make smooth accurate holes in any position; virtually eliminating the need for grinding and touchup. This flame-cutting machine will cut holes from 1" to 8" (25 mm to 200 mm) inside diameter and from 14 1/2 to 48" (368 mm to 1220 mm) outside diameter. When mounted with magnets, each magnet foot is covered with a shield to protect it from direct flame and heat.
Features:
• Lightweight and portable, can be taken to the work piece
• Easy setup
• Cuts holes from 1-8" (25-200 mm) inside diameter
• Can cut and bevel holes with precision
• Cuts holes from 14 1/2 - 48" (368-1220 mm) outside diameter
• Made in USA

Plasma Circle Burner
The CB-1P is designed for cutting beveled holes in lightwall pipe or vessels. This machine is supplied with an air plasma power source (specified by customer), torch and 50' (15 m) leads. It will cut beveled holes in light wall pipe or vessels with wall thickness up to 5/16" (7 mm). An automatic rise and fall cam controls the torch position for saddle cut holes up to 2/3 of the work diameter. The cables and air hoses supplying the unit pass through slip rings and O-rings enabling the machine to operate continuously in either direction without cable or hose wrap up. The CB-1P must be mounted on a carriage or fixture.
