Mathey Dearman MiniMag XM - Manual (Page 2)

General Description
The MiniMag XM Pipe and Plate Cutting/Beveling Machine will attach to any magnetic‐receptive surface using
Powerful Permanent and Rare Earth Magnets located in the Wheel Assemblies. The MiniMag XM can be set‐up
and ready to go in approximately two minutes. The setup involves placing the machine squarely on the pipe, plate
or I‐beam, connecting the Motor Control Box to the Base Unit, and installing the Machine Fuel Torch.
The MiniMag XM has a pipe cutting range of 6 5/8” (168mm) to Unlimited on the outside diameter of the pipe and
24” (610mm) minimum to Unlimited on the inside diameter of the pipe. The machine can also be used to make
long cuts parallel to the pipe axis on pipe diameters of 16” (406mm) and larger.
The MiniMag’XM can be used to cut vertical or horizontal plate. It is also design to cut I‐beams having a width of
20” (508mm) or wider. A Guide Strip can be made of rolled aluminum or steel angle when welding code requires
an exacting cut. The MiniMag XM is equipped with Guide Rollers to assist in tracking the Rolled Guide Track for
cutting diagonal angles, long lengths of plate and larger vertical diameters.
The stroke of the Sliding Support on Torch Arm for the MiniMag XM is 8 Inches (203mm) long. The Machine Torch
can be adjusted to the cut line by means of a Racking Knob on the Sliding Support. The Torch Arm design allows
the Torch to be operated in the vertical or near horizontal position. When the Machine Torch is used in the
vertical position, the overall length of the torch determines the clearance required to go around the pipe. The
clearance needed above the surface of the pipe or plate is 12” (305mm) when using a Machine Torch and Torch
Angle Head Adapter.
The MiniMag XM is control by Mathey Dearman’s Standard Motor Control Box. The Motor Control Box requires an
input of 110vac at 50 or 60 hertz. The Motor Control Box gives the operator precise control of direction and speed
of the MiniMag XM. The MiniMag XM Motor Control Box is made of a powdered metal casting which is impact
resistant. The box has a sealed lid with covered switches that allow the unit to be used in an extremely humid
environment. Due to the risk of electrical shock the MiniMag XM is not designed to be operated in rain or
standing water. The MiniMag XM can achieve a maximum speed of 32” / 813mm per minute and a minimum
cutting speed of 2 inches per minute. The MiniMag XM base unit weighs only 27 lbs. (13.7mm).
Safety should always be a concern when cutting pipe or plate. We at Mathey Dearman have made safety an
essential part of our design process. The MiniMag XM comes equipped with Snap Hooks and Safety Cable for pipe
diameter to 24” (610mm). Another safety value is that when cutting with the machine the operator does not have
to stand in close proximity to the pipe or plate that is being cut.
