Beveling plastic pipe is an essential part of many piping projects, especially when working with large-diameter pipe used in utilities, plumbing, and industrial applications. The Bevel Boss Cordless Pipe Beveler (REED-04659) by REED offers a faster, safer, and more efficient way to get this job done. It’s a cordless, battery-powered tool designed specifically to bevel plastic pipe measuring two inches in diameter or larger.
This innovative product has never been easier to use and is the first of its kind in the industry. If you’re working with plastic pipe on a regular basis, this is the tool that will save you time, improve joint quality, and reduce the physical strain that comes with traditional beveling methods.
What Is a Pipe Beveler and Why Does It Matter?
A pipe beveler is a tool that cuts an angled edge—called a bevel—on the end of a pipe. This bevel is important because it makes the pipe easier to insert into fittings or couplings and helps ensure a tight, leak-free seal. For glued joints, a bevel provides more surface area for solvent cement, leading to stronger, more durable connections. For bell and gasket joints, a bevel protects the gasket from being damaged during insertion.
In short, a properly beveled pipe end can make the difference between a reliable installation and one that fails over time.
How the Bevel Boss Cordless Pipe Beveler Works
The Bevel Boss (REED-04659) is a lightweight, handheld tool that operates on battery power, allowing it to be used virtually anywhere, including directly in the ditch. The tool uses carbide router bits to create a smooth, uniform bevel on plastic pipe. These bits are adjustable to allow for bevels up to one inch in length, depending on the application and manufacturer recommendations. A built-in guide plate ensures a consistent bevel every time, reducing the margin for error and eliminating guesswork.
The beveler is compatible with a wide range of plastic pipe materials, including PVC, CPVC (such as Corzan), PVCO (like Bionax C909), and ABS. It is designed to handle pipe with a diameter of two inches or more, making it ideal for municipal, industrial, and commercial use.
Common Uses of the Bevel Boss
This tool is widely used in plumbing, water and sewer utilities, irrigation systems, and electrical conduit installations. It helps prepare pipe ends for solvent welding or gasket fittings and can also be used for internal beveling or deburring, especially for applications involving wire or cable pulls. With the addition of REED’s internal beveling shroud and guide plate (model CPBIDS), users can safely create smooth internal edges on conduit or pipe, which helps prevent snags during cable pulls.
Adapter Heads for Die Grinders
For professionals who already own a die grinder, REED offers Beveler Adapter Heads that convert select Milwaukee, Bosch, and DeWalt die grinders into pipe bevelers. This temporary conversion option is useful for those who need beveling capabilities but want to maximize the tools they already have on hand. International users should be aware that their die grinder’s collet may need to be replaced to fit REED’s router bits.
Why the Bevel Boss Is a Game Changer
Traditional pipe beveling methods are often slow, inconsistent, and physically demanding. The Bevel Boss changes that by offering a solution that is cordless, efficient, and easy to use. It reduces pipe preparation time dramatically, especially when multiple sections of pipe need to be beveled. Because it is battery-powered, it operates without fumes or a power cord, which makes it safer and more convenient for outdoor or confined work environments.
Professionals appreciate the time savings and consistency this tool brings to the job. It ensures each pipe bevel meets industry standards and manufacturer specifications, which is essential for passing inspections and maintaining long-term reliability in piping systems.
The Bevel Bos Cordless Pipe Beveler from REED is an essential tool for anyone working with large-diameter plastic pipe. It delivers clean, accurate bevels quickly and safely, whether you are working in the field or in the trench. Its portable, battery-powered design sets a new standard in the pipe beveling industry.
For professionals who value speed, precision, and safety, the Bevel Boss is not just a convenience, it’s a necessity.
