Abstract: A device for preparing the end of a pipe includes a non-rotatable mandrel one end of which is attachable to the pipe. A motor rotates a sleeve around the mandrel and the sleeve retains an arm perpendicular to the mandrel for cutting the pipe. A cam surface on the rotating sleeve moves a cam follower. Movement of the cam follower is converted to rotational movement for turning a feed nut threaded on the mandrel. The rate at which the sleeve is advanced by the feed nut is controlled by limiting the movement of the cam follower.

Abstract: In one aspect, a pipe cutting assembly is provided and includes a first base, a second base and a cutting insert. The first base includes a first projection and a first coupling aperture defined in the first projection. The second base is separate from the first base and includes a second projection and a second coupling aperture defined in the second projection. The cutting insert includes a cutting edge and an insert aperture defined therein. The cutting insert interchangeably couples to the first base and the second base. With the cutting insert coupled to the first base, the first projection is at least partially positioned in the insert aperture, and, with the cutting insert coupled to the second base, the second projection is at least partially positioned in the insert aperture. In one aspect, a pipe machining apparatus is provided and includes this pipe cutting assembly.
