SMG Rapid-Edge 60M Milling Type Plate Beveling Machine – 6–60 mm Clamp Thickness, 0–90° Bevel Angle

The SMG Rapid-Edge 60M is a milling type plate beveling machine designed to prepare steel plate edges for welding through a cold-milling process rather than grinding or flame cutting. Because the cutting action is entirely mechanical, there is no heat-affected zone and no surface oxidation, and the resulting Ra 3.2-6.3 finish meets weld preparation standards across most industrial welding codes straight off the machine.

As a plate edge milling machine, the Rapid-Edge 60M handles a wide range of groove types – including V, Y, U and J profiles – on carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminium, and other structural metals. The bevel angle is adjustable across the full 0-90° range, and the machine’s interchangeable insert cutter head means worn cutting edges can be rotated or replaced rather than the whole head, keeping ongoing tooling costs down over the life of the machine.

Two feed methods are available depending on the job: smaller plates can be fed directly into the cutter head, while the machine can also travel along the edge of larger steel plates, making it a genuinely self-propelled electric plate beveling machine suited to production runs rather than one-off cuts. A digital display and adjustable feed speed give the operator fine control over cut quality, and the independent electric box and safety lock-off are built into the design for safer day-to-day operation.

This wide working range and cold-cutting design suit the Rapid-Edge 60M to Australian steel fabrication shops, structural steelwork, shipbuilding, and pressure vessel manufacturing environments where weld preparation quality and throughput both matter. As a stationary plate beveling machine intended for workshop installation rather than site work, it’s best suited to fabricators processing plate on a regular basis rather than occasional or on-site beveling needs.

Key Features

• 3400 W three-phase drive – Powers the milling head through a 415 V, 50 Hz three-phase supply for consistent cutting performance under load.
• Full 0-90° adjustable bevel angle – Covers the complete bevel range needed for V, Y, U, and J weld preparation joints on a single machine.
• Cold-cutting milling process – Mills rather than grinds the plate edge, avoiding heat-affected zones and oxidation while delivering a Ra 3.2-6.3 surface finish suitable for direct welding.
• Self-propelled travel or feed-in operation – Runs along the edge of larger plates for continuous beveling, or draws smaller plates directly into the cutter head.
• Interchangeable insert cutter head – A 63 mm diameter cutter head with replaceable inserts keeps cutting costs down as tooling wears.
• Digital display with adjustable feed speed – Gives the operator precise control over feed rate and cut quality during processing.
• Independent electric box and safety lock-off – Built-in safety design separates the control electronics from the cutting head and locks out unintended operation.
• Wide clamp thickness range – Processes plate from 8-60 mm thick
