A beveler device is configured for removable attachment to a hand-held power unit and to simultaneously de-burr and bevel the raw cut edge of a PVC pipe. An adapter may be attached to the beveler device and connect a vacuum hose for suction of chips and debris into the interior of the beveler device and out through the vacuum hose during operation.

A peeler device removes a thin layer from the outer surface of the end of a plastic pipe or tapping tee. In the preferred embodiments, the device has a main body and a mandrel. The pipe to be peeled is pushed onto the mandrel when the mandrel is in an out position. As the main body is rotated, a blade advances onto the plastic pipe and peels a thin layer off the outer surface of the pipe as it is advanced. The main body is rotated until peeling is complete. There may be a sight window in the main body to permit visual confirmation of when peeling is complete. A spring loaded blade lever is actuated to raise the blade and the pipe is pulled out of the main body.
