Abstract
A pipe shaving device for removing a uniform layer of material from the outer circumference of a pipe is provided. The device comprises a first frame member providing at least two support surfaces for the pipe, a second frame member slidable with respect to the first frame member so as to allow the device to engage and support a pipe, and a cutting platform mounted on the second frame member, the cutting platform providing a cutting blade for removing a uniform thickness of material from the outer diameter of the pipe when the pipe and the device are rotated relative to one another.
Claims6
A device for removing a uniform layer of material from the outer circumference of a pipe, the device comprising:
- a first frame member providing at least two support surfaces for said pipe;
- a second frame member slidable on at least one slide mounted on said first frame member so as to allow said second frame member to linearly displace relative to said first frame member from a first open position, to a second engaged position, said second frame member providing at least one additional support surface adapted to cooperate with said at least two support surfaces of said first frame member, so as to allow said device to engage and support a pipe;
- a cutting platform mounted on said second frame member, said cutting platform providing a cutting blade for removing a uniform thickness of material from the outer diameter of said pipe when said pipe and said device are rotated relative to one another;
- an actuator for moving said second frame member relative to said first frame member along said at least one slider, wherein said actuator comprises a lock, and further wherein said actuator is a threaded shaft, rotatably attached at a first end to said first frame member, and adapted to threadably engage along its length said second frame member, so as to move said second frame member relative to said first frame member upon rotation of the threaded shaft;
- wherein said lock is rotatably and threadably mounted on said threaded shaft.
