A Structural Adjustment of the CM-12 for On-Site Use
In real pipeline projects and on-site cutting work, a pipe cutting machine is rarely kept in a single fixed position.
As construction progresses, the machine often needs to be moved repeatedly—sometimes only a short distance, but often many times over the course of a day.
Based on this common usage pattern, a structural adjustment was made to the CM-12 pipe cutting machine, focusing specifically on how it is handled and repositioned on site.
The Core Structure of the CM-12 Remains the Same
It should first be clarified that this red version is still fundamentally the CM-12.
Its cutting range, cutting method, and hydraulic system remain identical to the standard CM-12 configuration.
The CM-12 continues to be an electric hydraulic pipe cutting machine designed for cold cutting of steel and stainless steel pipes from 2" to 12".
It uses a split hydraulic system with a separate pump and cylinder, and this adjustment does not change the cutting principle or cutting performance in any way.
On-Site Usage Realities
In actual job-site environments, pipe cutting machines often need to move along with the work area.
When small position changes are repeated many times, the way a machine is handled can noticeably affect daily efficiency and operator workload.
The question behind this adjustment was therefore not about cutting capability, but rather:
without altering the cutting structure, can the machine be moved more easily on site?
Structural Adjustment Focused on Mobility
With this in mind, this version of the CM-12 was modified by adding components dedicated to mobility.
While keeping the original cutting system and hydraulic structure unchanged, a tow handle and wheels were added.
This allows the machine to be repositioned by pulling instead of lifting, reducing physical effort during on-site movement.
The adjustment affects how the machine is transported and handled, not how it cuts or operates.
About the Exterior Finish
This version features a full red exterior finish.
The color change is purely for visual identification and does not indicate any difference in function or performance.
Conclusion
Overall, this red version is not a new pipe cutting machine model.
It is a structural adjustment based on the CM-12, intended to improve on-site mobility while keeping the cutting core completely unchanged.
