The goal of the study, Development of Pipe Beveler Machine, was to address the issue of beveling Black Iron Pipe. The prototype has a maximum bevel angle of 55 degrees. The Frame, Gear Motor, Inverter, Oxy-Acetylene Cutting Torch, Rod, Black Iron Pipe, Cold Rolled Steel, Tubing, Tool Steel, Sprocket, Spring, Sprocket Chain, Ball Bearing, Bolts, and Knuts are the key components of the Beveling Machine. A test was done utilizing the prototype Oxy-Acetylene (Manual) and Speed Cutter to ascertain the work speed in a comparative study. Result indicated that 4 mm Iron Pipe that obtained 1 minute, the prototype is efficient, safe and simple to use compared to Oxy Acetylene (Manual) which took 4 minutes and 8 seconds spent 7 minutes on Speed Cutter. The inspection of the prototype has shown a high level of acceptance, indicating satisfaction with functionality, aesthetics, workability, efficiency, safety and ergonomics. The viability of pipe beveler machine development in terms of functionality 4.43, aesthetics 4.44, workability 4.33, efficiency 4.37, safety 4.45, and ergonomics 4.43. It received an overall mean score of 4.41 and descriptive score “Very Acceptable”, 38 respondents chosen through purposive sample evaluated the prototype using a validate tool, demonstrating the prototype’s efficacy and beveling black iron pipe.
