Need an on-site flange repair machine? Consider seven factors - BIC Magazine

Because many flange management projects don’t flow according to schedule, having the right flange facer can make all the difference in getting the job done correctly and quickly and minimizing downtime expenses.

Another way to minimize tool deflection is to use flange facers that pull the tool bit instead of pushing it. Most flange facers in the market are designed with a tool head placed in front of the tool arm. But when the tool head is pushed, the deflection goes right into the workpiece. It’s much better to use machines that drag the tool head to accommodate for metal deflection, ensuring a more consistent result.

Since almost every on-site flange machining job will be different from the last, having the right flange facer available and ready can potentially save an operator millions of dollars in reduced downtime. Choose wisely.
