Angular Notches
The 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.

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.)
