Tri Tool 5712 Tube Severing Machine

The Tri Tool 5712AC SEVERMASTER is a tube severing machine for repeated cuts on large tubing and suitable thin-wall pipe. The manufacturer lists an 8–12-inch tube OD range (203.2–304.8 mm) and a 0.250-inch maximum wall (6.35 mm). Justram can confirm the size-specific clamping and cutting setup.

Repeated cutting of large, thin-wall tubing

The 5712AC uses a four-piece clamping arrangement with interchangeable, size-specific supports. A screw-operated, lockable speed nut closes the clamp around the workpiece. Correct support and setup help control movement of thin-wall tubing during severing.

The auto-cycle mechanism resets the tool after each cut. Dual severing tools, adjustable feed increments and variable motor speed provide control over the cutting process. Enclosed gears and a foot control are part of the listed machine arrangement.

Tube OD and nominal pipe size are different. For pipe, provide the actual outside diameter and wall thickness so Justram can verify machine range and clamping. Confirm the supplied motor and utilities rather than assuming a voltage from the model designation.

Clamping and finish requirements

Size-specific collets or supports must be specified with the order. Provide tube ovality, straight gripping length, material and desired cut finish. The optional SQM-3 adds end-squaring capability; it is not implied to be part of the standard severing package.

Confirm the machine, tooling, controls and required wrenches in the quotation. The manufacturer brochure lists an integrated accessory box and no carrying case. Plan handling and workpiece support around the configured machine and tube weight.
