Manual Saddle Pipe Cutting Machines — Mathey

Mathey Dearman manual saddle machines guide a machine torch around the pipe using a hand crank. The model family covers nominal 1.5–48 in pipe; choose the saddle and spacer set for the actual pipe OD. The cutting torch and process equipment are specified separately.

Hand-cranked pipe cutting and beveling

A Mathey manual saddle pipe cutting machine supports and guides a compatible machine torch around the pipe. Spacer bolts locate the saddle, and the fastening assembly secures it for the cut. Hand-cranked travel gives the operator direct control of torch movement for shop or field work.

This is a family of separate machines, not one saddle covering the full range. Nominal pipe size differs from actual OD, and a standard spacer set does not necessarily include every intermediate size. Supply actual dimensions when selecting spacers.

Torch and accessory selection

The standard torch carrier accommodates a 1.375-inch (approximately 35 mm) barrel. Confirm the torch, rack, mounting arm and cutting process together. A compatible oxy-fuel or plasma setup requires its own torch and process equipment; these should not be assumed included with the saddle.

Available options include contour-cutting attachments, a plasma-oriented pro torch arm, double torch arms, out-of-round rollers, step spacers and storage boxes. Match each accessory to the selected saddle and intended cut. For powered travel, see Mathey motorized saddle machines; for programmed profiles, see CNC saddle machines.

Request the correct manual cutting package

Provide pipe OD, wall thickness, material, required cut or bevel, torch details and working clearance. For replacement parts, include the saddle model and serial number. Justram can check the machine and accessory combination for the job.
