The RIDGID Model 918-I Roll Grooving Machine is capable of grooving 1″ to 8″ schedule 40 and 1″ to 12″ schedule 10 pipe faster than any roll grooving machine in its class. Powered by a 1.2 HP universal motor and heavy duty transmission, the 918-I produces high quality grooves consistently and effortlessly. The 918-I comes standard with a rugged wheel stand built for mobility in the shop without compromising stability. The stand’s tray is tough enough to support 200 lbs. The 918-I uses a custom-designed, two-stage hydraulic pump that minimizes pipe flare, operator fatigue and hydraulic fluid leaks.
