Bondstrand pipe shavers are designed to prepare a spigot on the cut end of a Bondstrand pipe as described in the individual assembly instructions. Pipe is shipped from the factory with spigots, but when the pipe is cut to length on the job site, a spigot must be shaved for assembly to the bell end of another section of pipe, or to a fitting or coupling. Each shaver is centered and fixed on the end of the pipe by an expanding arbor. Arbors are available for each pipe size. The arbor slips in to the pipe and expands to grip the inside of the pipe when the tensioning bolt(s) is/are tightened. As the frame is rotated around the stationary centre shaft, the cutting tool advances automaticially.
