Angular Notches
ARC-FIT ANGULAR UNITS
For making angular pipe jointsThe Arc-Fit Angular tool produces a consistent accurate notch in pipe. Because this tool stamps out the notch, each tool is dedicated to a specific tube or pipe size at a specific angle. You can purchase multiple punch & die assemblies and swap them in our Arc-Fit Angular Housing to accomodate additional angles or material sizes.
Arc Fit Angular units are designed to produce angular notches on pipe and heavy wall tubing. The notch is ideally suited to welding with a rod or heavy wire. The resulting "V" at all contact points allows for full weld penetration without having weld buildup which must be ground down later. Each Arc Fit Angular Assembly consists of two punch and die assemblies requiring a total of (3) three strokes to complete the operation
How it works:
The first station notches a deep notch with an elliptical end. One press stroke is needed in this station.
The second stations nip the left and right side walls completing the operation. Two press strokes required in this station
Each Arc-Snug assembly is made for one size pipe to fit one size pipe (advise if not the same size) at one angle only. By not fully inserting the pipe in the first station, it may be possible to "cheat" and create a slightly shallower angle ( up to approx. 5°).
Arc-Fit Angular tooling is designed to be sharpenable for long life. Many customers order replacement parts first, then when received, send the old parts in for sharpening. This avoids any downtime and eliminates any expense for rush processing, overnight shipping, etc. Please contact us to obtain replacement part costs. |

ARC-SNUG ANGULAR UNITS
To notch tubes to fit another tube at a specific angle, for a snug gap-free fit up.Specify notched tube OD & gauge, mating tube OD and angle of intersection. A drainhole may also be notched at the same time, if desired. You can purchase multiple punch & die assemblies and swap them in our Arc-Snug Housings to accomodate additional angles or material sizes.
Arc Snug angular units are designed to produce a "snug" fitting angular or 90° joint on medium and thin walled tubing.
The resulting gap-free notch is suitable for silver soldering, brazing or mig welding. (If stick welding heavy walls, the weld may have to be ground down for appearance purposes. If so, the Arc-Fit Angular units are recommended.)
Each Arc Snug assembly consists of a two station punch and die assembly that requires two strokes to complete the operation. (Note: if two parts are inserted, one part can be produced in each press stroke.)
The first notch is identical to the Arc Fit Angular unit producing a deep notch with an elliptical end.
In the second station the tube rotated upside down, so the first station notch is on the top of the tube. The tube is put in at the required angle of intersection (for example, the unit pictures at left is designed for a 45° notch).
The second station punch gauges on the first notch and carves a radius through the side wall and out the bottom.
Arc-Snug tooling is designed to be sharpenable for long life. Many customers order replacement parts first, then when received, send the old parts in for sharpening. This avoids any downtime and eliminates any expense for rush processing, overnight shipping, etc. Please contact us to obtain replacement part costs. |
