Double helix die grooving tool for pipe

Abstract

A die grooving tool for insertion into a pipe having a first die body and a second die body mounted upon a first end of the first die body. Each of the first die body and a second die body have a plurality of openings thereon for receiving a plurality of cutting wheels mounted therein. The first die body is configured to rotate at least partially in a clockwise direction and the second die body is configured to rotate at least partially in a counter clockwise direction, so that the cutting wheels of the first die body and the second die body create a double helix groove on an interior of the pipe, whereby the double helix groove intersects at an intersection point every 360 degrees along an entire length of the pipe.
