Pneumatic Shape Beveler

The Woodward Fab Pneumatic Shape Beveler (model S-PALM.620) is a precision air-powered tool designed for metalworking, fabrication, and restoration work that demands clean, consistent beveled edges. Operating at speeds up to 23,000 RPM, this pneumatic beveler delivers a 45-degree bevel with a maximum cut depth of 1/16 inch, making it ideal for sheet metal preparation, edge finishing, and weld prep on automotive and structural projects.

The pneumatic drive system offers consistent torque and speed control across extended work sessions without the heat buildup of electric alternatives. The 45-degree bevel angle is a standard preparation geometry for many welding operations, particularly in automotive fabrication and tube work where edge quality directly impacts joint integrity. At 1/16 inch depth per pass, the tool balances material removal rate with operator control, allowing for gradual edge profiling without overshooting the desired profile. The compact palm-grip design weighs just 1.83 lbs, reducing operator fatigue during repetitive edge work and fitting comfortably in tight fabrication spaces.

This tool is built for professional and serious hobby fabricators, metal restoration specialists, and welding prep operations where edge consistency matters. Whether you're preparing sheet metal for MIG/TIG work, knocking down edges on structural steel repairs, or finishing panels in custom automotive work, the pneumatic shape beveler handles repetitive production tasks efficiently. Pneumatic tools remain the standard in professional metal shops because they deliver power without electrical cords and minimal maintenance compared to rotary electric grinders.

Requires a regulated pneumatic air supply (typical shop compressor) and standard quick-disconnect air coupling. Verify your air supply meets the tool's pressure and CFM requirements for optimal RPM performance.
