Allfasteners Explains the Cold Cutting Advantage

Tower modifications can be a great way to extend the life of structures and be an opportunity to increase revenue. However sometimes modifications require a creative solution to complete the task. 

To protect the integrity of the tower, most use a split pipe to fit snug over the existing tower for protection. These two halves are then typically welded onto the tower to finish the install. But how do these get created?

Most would imagine with heat, but pipes with very small diameters and heavy walls cannot be cut accurately with heat. Instead they require a cold cutting process. AF’s cold cutting process delivers straight and accurate split pipe every time, even down to 3” diameter pipe with a 5/8” wall thickness.

Why Use Cold Cutting?

With tower modifications, as with all other things, time is money. Wasting time waiting for fabricated parts can cost you precious time and eventually money. Cold cutting takes less time to complete, allowing your custom pieces to ship faster.

Cold cutting also eliminates the need to grind down rough surfaces that normally need completed following torch cutting. There is no grinding needed due to the precision of the cold cutting machines. Once coded, they cut to exact specifications, leaving no possibility for mistakes.
