Saddle Machine Motorized / Manual

The industry standard for over 90 years, the Mathey Dearman saddle machine is versatile, simple to use, and perfect for almost any pipe cutting and beveling application. Lightweight and durable, the Mathey Dearman machine is designed for accurate, quality cuts on 1.5 – 48″ / 38 – 1,219 mm pipes.

Manual saddle machine includes:

  • Saddle machine
  • Torch arm
  • Torch carrier assembly (torch diameter 1.375″ / 35 mm)
  • Boomer assembly (fastens the machine to the pipe)
  • Spacer bolt set
  • Parts and operating manual

Want the easiest way to get a perfect cut every time?

Motorized saddle machines from Mathey Dearman are precise and fast, delivering smooth cuts requiring little or even no grinding.

Both experienced and inexperienced welders can benefit from the increased productivity (up to 5 times quicker!) and cut quality of motorized saddle machines compared to traditional hand-cutting or manual machines.

Motorized PLASMASPEED saddle machines can use 110/230 VAC for pipe sizes 1.5 – 48″ / 38 – 1,219 mm and can operate at increased cutting speeds to use powerful plasma torches.

It’s what Mathey Dearman calls PLASMASPEED!

Conventional cutting vs. saddle cutting time
Hand cutting. Time: 30 minutes

  • 8″ schedule 40 pipe being cut by hand. Time includes measuring, cutting and grinding
  • Longer than necessary layout time
  • Excessive amount of time to cut the pipe
  • Inaccurate/uneven cut requiring grinding
  • Extended fit-up time
  • Uneven weld gap

Mathey Dearman cutting. Time: 6 minutes

  • 8″ schedule 40 Pipe being cut with a 1SA manual saddle machine
  • Perfect cut
  • No grinding
  • Perfect fit-up

Cam-Adjustable Torch Carrier
The cam-adjustable torch carrier (diameter of 1.375″ / 35 mm) makes it simple to make perfect, no-notch cuts every time. Just start the cut away from the desired cut line, use the knurled cam adjustment knob to move the torch into the cut line, then start cutting.

In addition, the torch holder’s large wing screw makes tightening the torch in the torch holder easy, even when wearing gloves. The innovative design even allows forward or back-beveling without the need to reverse the torch holder in the torch arm. PART NO. 03.0100.052

Self-Storing Step-Down Spacer
Combining multiple spacer bolt sizes into one easy-to-use part, the step-down spacers are machined to the same tolerances as spacer bolts. Each step spacer covers a range of four (4) pipe sizes, eliminating the need to store 16 spacer bolts. No more searching for lost or misplaced spacer bolts with high-quality aluminum alloy or stainless steel self-storing step-down spacers.
