Orbital Service Pipe Cutters
Orbital Service OTS Series Pipe Cutting Machines are compact orbital tube saws designed for fast, precise, and burr-free cutting of stainless steel tube and pipe.
Designed for high-accuracy tube preparation, the OTS Series produces clean, square cuts with tolerances up to 0.25 mm (0.009"), helping reduce deformation, minimize secondary finishing, and improve preparation before orbital welding.
Available in five models, the OTS Series covers pipe outside diameters from Ø 6 mm to Ø 330 mm (0.236" to 12.992"), providing solutions for applications ranging from small process tubing to larger industrial pipe systems.
With compact clamping systems, detachable variable-speed saw motors, and ergonomic handwheel operation, OTS pipe cutting machines provide consistent cutting performance for stainless steel fabrication, hygienic piping, and orbital welding preparation.
