How Lathe Cutting Tops Abrasive

Abrasive and lathe cutting are two of the most well-known approaches for cutting pipes and tubing. Comparisons between the two, though, clearly show that Lathe Cutting is the better option.

Because burrs and chamfers can be difficult to identify, it’s vital to go with the cleanest and most efficient method.

With a grinding method, abrasive cutting is easy to use and is acceptable for a small production run. However, abrasive cutting is unable to produce a square cute and simply doesn’t work well for materials consisting of thick walls. In addition to not being able to efficiently handle high volume production runs, and is prone to leave burrs – which translates into a secondary process and higher costs.

Lathe cutting, on the other hand, is designed to handle both large and short production runs, and can essentially eliminate the generation of burrs and grooves. Additionally, lathe cutting can cut pipe and tubing with both thick and thin walls – resulting in a much more efficient production run and lower overall costs.

For the cleanest and most efficient tube and pipe cutting service, call Hautau.


Since designing and making their first rotating-head Tube Cutoff Machines in 1972, Hautau Tube Cutoff Systems has continually set the industry standard for the way tube processing is addressed.

Located in Brookville, Indiana, Hautau is known for producing cut parts that are consistently completed to specified requirements, is done faster and more reliably.

How To Streamline Production of Metal Tubes

Image
  Investing in a rotating head cut off machine is one way to streamline the production of metal tubes at your plant.   A Rotating Head Cutoff Machine can greatly increase the efficiency of tube cutting and chamfering as well as loading and unloading, saving your plant time and money.   However, a machine only works as well as the overall system you have in place to minimize disruptions and maximize output.   How can you truly streamline your processes and increase profitability at your plant?   One way may be to look at the software you are using to monitor your overall production methods.   There are certain types of systems, such as an MES system, that can exponentially increase production, monitor safety issues, and make your plant much more efficient. How Software Streamlines Production One type of software known as MES, or Manufacturing Execution System software, is designed to oversee production of metal tubes from start to finish.   Not only does MES control the loading, cu
