Jancy (Slugger) BM-20 Indexable Portable Beveling Machine

Model: BM-20 | Power: 1.5 HP | Capacity: 3/4" Bevel Width

Professional Overview

The Jancy BM-20 (often branded under the Slugger line) is a heavy-duty, portable beveling machine designed for rapid weld preparation and finish fabrication. Weighing only 42 lbs, this unit is engineered to deliver mill-quality finishes on both plate and pipe. Featuring a powerful 1.5 HP motor and a dual milling head system, the BM-20 is capable of beveling at any angle between 30° and 60°, making it a versatile essential for structural steel shops and pipe fitters.

Technical Specifications

• Motor: 1-1/2 HP, 120V, Single-Phase.
• Amperage: 14A Nominal / 18A Max Load.
• Angle Range: Continuously adjustable from 30° to 60°.
• Max Bevel Width: 3/4" (19mm).
• Cutting Speed: 1800 SFPM (3450 RPM spindle speed).
• Tooling: Dual milling heads using 12 indexable carbide inserts.
• Weight: 42 lbs (Portable for field or shop use).

Key Performance Features

• Dual Milling Head Design: Equipped with two rotary milling heads that hold six inserts each. This configuration distributes the cutting load, increasing metal removal efficiency and extending the life of the carbide inserts.
• Integrated Safety & Overload Protection: Features an electronic motor load sensor and overload lamp. The system automatically shuts down if the machine is forced through material, protecting the motor and tooling from premature failure.
• Ergonomic Handling: Designed with a vibration-reducing handle and frame construction that surrounds the motor to protect it from accidental damage on cluttered job sites.
• Clean Operation: Unlike traditional grinding, the BM-20 produces a clean, burr-free edge with no thermal distortion and requires no coolant, keeping the work area clean for immediate welding.
• Pipe Beveling Capability: Includes a roller guide attachment that allows the machine to be used for beveling pipes and tubes 6-1/4" in diameter and larger.
