ABSTRACT:
An end prep tool is mounted in substantial alignment with a theoretical center of a pipe and used to prepare an end of a pipe, for example, by boring and/or cutting the end of the pipe. A tool centering and mounting system comprises a clamp cage and a tool mounting member having an inner cylindrical surface. A centering tool is mounted to the tool mounting member and used to adjust the tool mounting member until substantially aligned with the theoretical center of the pipe. The end prep tool comprises a tool feed assembly that moves a cutting tool radially with respect to the axis of rotation and axially according to a predefined cutting profile.
