Description and Specifications
Description
REED RGCOMBO2 Roll Groover is designed to form
standard rolled grooves in steel, stainless steel and
aluminum pipe, from 1 1/4” to 6”, in both Schedule 10 and
Schedule 40 pipe. The groove is formed by the groove roll
which is fed into the pipe wall. The pipe is supported on
the inside by a drive roll, which is relieved to permit pipe
wall deformation. The formed grooves comply with the
specifications required for mechanical coupling systems.
The only adjustment required is for the depth of the groove.
Designed for portability, the RGCOMBO2 Roll Groover is an
economical solution to the job-site grooving requirements
in mechanical piping system installations. Although the
RGCOMBO2 design has many improvements over similar
competitors’ models,
it is not intended for production
work in the fab shop.
The RGCOMBO2 Roll Groover is designed for use with
REED #05301 5301PD Power Drive.

Safety Information
WARNING!
Serious injury can occur if all safety information and
operating instructions are not followed. These injuries
could include:
Loss of fingers, hands, arms or other body parts if clothing
or gloves get caught in moving parts;
Electrical shock or burns from contact with wires, motor or
other power drive parts;
Impact injuries, including broken bones if machine tips over
or workpiece falls.
Eye injuries, including being blinded by thrown workpiece
or workpiece chips.
General Safety
Read and follow the safety information and instructions
in the operator’s manual.
Know the location and functions of all controls before
using the machine.
Footswitch Safety
The footswitch of the power drive is for your safety. It lets
you shut off the motor by removing your foot. If clothing
should become caught in the
machine, it could continue to wind
up, pulling you into the machine.
Because the machine has high
torque, the clothing itself can bind
around your arm or other body
parts with enough force to crush
or break bones.
