  • Patent number: 7104737
    Abstract: A hand-held pipe beveling tool makes the job of manually beveling the ends of plastic pipe very simple and easy to perform. The pipe beveling tool includes a frame that defines an opening for receiving the end of a pipe. One or more pipe forming members are coupled to the frame to contact the end of the pipe when the pipe beveling tool is used. A user uses the pipe beveling tool of the preferred embodiments by placing the opening of the pipe beveling tool over the end of a pipe, grasping one or more handles on the pipe beveling tool, and rotating the pipe beveling tool while pushing the pipe beveling tool against the end of the pipe. As a result, the end of the pipe is beveled, making the installation of a splice on the end of the pipe much easier to perform.
