PFM 17 Metal Weld Shaver

The Metabo HPT PFM 17 Metal Weld Shaver is a professional-grade variable speed weld shaver engineered for fast, precise, and efficient weld bead removal on steel and other metal surfaces. Designed and manufactured in Germany, this high-performance tool is ideal for metal fabrication, structural steel work, shipbuilding, pipeline construction, and industrial manufacturing where smooth, consistent weld finishing is essential. Powered by a robust 14.5 Amp (1700W) motor, the PFM 17 features a variable speed range of 8,000–12,600 RPM, allowing operators to match cutting performance to different materials while achieving clean, accurate results with minimal finishing work.

Built for maximum productivity and operator control, the PFM 17 incorporates a three-insert carbide cutter head that removes weld beads up to 25 mm (0.984") wide while transferring heat into the chips rather than the base material to reduce distortion and thermal stress. The patented One-Touch Controller enables tool-free cutting depth adjustment in 0.1 mm (0.004") increments for exceptional precision. Electronic Speed Stabilization maintains nearly constant speed under heavy loads, while Electronic Soft Start ensures smooth startup and improved control. The ergonomic rear rat-tail handle with a non-locking paddle switch enhances operator safety, and the adjustable front loop handle provides excellent stability during use. A 19.7" (50 cm) magnetic guide rail is included to deliver straight, accurate weld bead removal and superior surface finish on demanding fabrication projects.
