Cost guide · 2026

What a beveling machine actually costs.

Most equipment pages will not put a number in front of you. Here are the real factory-direct ranges by machine type, what moves a machine up or down inside its band, and what is in the box at that price. All figures are FOB Shenzhen — final pricing depends on configuration and volume.

Ranges by machine type

Ranges are indicative and cover the current catalogue. Flange facing, weld seam removal, chamfering, slag removal and orbital welding systems are quoted per configuration — ask for a figure and you will get one.

What moves the price

Six variables account for nearly all of the spread inside a series. They are listed in the order they usually matter.

Working range

Pipe diameter and wall thickness, or plate thickness. A larger range means a heavier frame and a bigger drive — this is the single largest driver of price within any one series.

Drive type

Electric is the baseline. Pneumatic costs more for the same capacity and is specified where a hot-work permit rules out electrics; hydraulic is for heavy wall and carries the cost of the power pack.

Bevel geometry

A single-angle V-prep needs one insert. Compound bevels, J-prep and counterboring need dedicated tooling and, on some machines, a different tool slide. Tell us the WPS geometry, not just the angle.

Customisation

Standard configurations are the most cost-effective. Non-standard voltage, special cutter geometry, OEM branding and language variants all add build time.

Order volume

Tiered pricing for distributors and multi-unit orders. Single evaluation units are welcome at standard pricing — we would rather you tested one machine than took our word for it.

Documentation

A CE Declaration of Conformity ships with every unit. Additional regional certification, material certificates or a qualification data package are quoted on request.

Frequently asked

How much does a pipe beveling machine cost?

Handheld bevelers start around $800. Portable ID-mount and OD-mount machines run $2,000 – $10,000, split-frame clamshell machines $8,000 – $25,000, and heavy-duty stationary workshop systems $15,000 – $50,000+. Where a given machine lands inside its band depends on diameter range, wall thickness, bevel geometry and drive type. Selection logic is in the pipe beveling machine buying guide.

How much does a plate beveling machine cost?

Handheld plate bevelers are $1,500 – $3,000, rolling-shear machines $2,000 – $4,000, self-propelled milling machines $4,000 – $12,000, and heavy-duty traveling edge millers $8,000 – $30,000+. The step that costs money is milling versus rolling shear — see rolling shear vs edge milling for which one your work actually needs.

What does a portable pipe beveling machine cost?

Typically $2,000 – $10,000. Lightweight ID-mount machines for 1" – 8" pipe start near $2,000; heavy-duty portable models up to 24" with compound bevel and J-prep capability run $4,000 – $10,000. All portable bevelers ship with tooling, case, CE Declaration of Conformity and a 12 months warranty.

Why is a Kedes machine cheaper than a European brand?

We are the factory. Design, production and export are in-house, with no trading company or distributor markup in between. That, plus manufacturing costs in Shenzhen, is where the 30 – 50% difference against equivalent Western specifications comes from — not from lighter frames or thinner tooling. Every machine ships with a CE Declaration of Conformity and a 12 months warranty.

What drives the price up most?

Working range, then drive type. Doubling the diameter capacity of a beveler costs considerably more than adding a J-prep insert set. If the budget is tight, the productive conversation is about the actual range you need — most buyers specify wider than the job requires. The full breakdown is in beveling machine cost factors.

Do you offer distributor pricing?

Yes — tiered by volume. OEM and ODM services cover custom branding, packaging, voltage and specification changes. Single evaluation units are available at standard pricing.

How do I get an accurate quote?

Send pipe diameter (or plate thickness), wall thickness, the bevel geometry your WPS calls for, and the working environment. We come back within 24 hours with a machine recommendation and a detailed quote. Prices are FOB Shenzhen by default; EXW / CIF / DDP are available on request. Buying from China for the first time?
