1.0 INTRODUCTION
Tube & Pipe Notch Grinders
Scotchman Tube & Pipe Grinder/Notchers are strong, accurate machines. The AL150-HS operates at a
higher speed than our other grinders and grinds a notch much faster. Stainless-steel sections and pipes
can be machined problem free, at high speed without grinding burrs or heat discoloration. The
grinding rollers can be changed without tools in just seconds, saving time and money! The grinding
belt can also be changed easily from one side of the machine. Once the sections and pipes have been
ground, they can be deburred using the high speed parts grinder on the other end of the machine.
The AL150-HS can feed the tube with either a handwheel or a lever. The pipe grinder/notchers offer
trouble-free, accurate, quick and efficient machining of tubes and pipes for many years; and are
backed by a 3-year warranty.
