High Performance Metabo KFM 18 LTX 3 RF Cordless Beveling Tool Bare
Metabo KFM 18 LTX 3 RF Cordless Beveling Tool – Bare Tool
Product Overview
The Metabo KFM 18 LTX 3 RF is a professional 18V cordless metal beveling tool designed to create clean, consistent chamfers on metal edges. Its cordless design provides greater freedom of movement than corded machines, making it useful for fabrication shops, construction sites, installation work, and maintenance applications.
Powered by a brushless motor, the KFM 18 LTX 3 RF combines high-speed cutting performance with precise depth adjustment. Its universal milling head and adjustable guide system allow users to produce chamfers at different angles, while the integrated pipe-following roller makes the tool suitable for working on cylindrical components and pipes.
This bare-tool version is supplied without an 18V battery or charger, making it a practical choice for users who already own compatible Metabo or CAS battery packs.
Key Features
- 18V cordless operation eliminates the need for a power cord at the workpiece.
- Brushless motor provides efficient power and reduced maintenance.
- Universal milling head allows different chamfer angles without changing the complete milling head.
- 0°–90° adjustable chamfer angle accommodates a wide variety of metal-edge preparation tasks.
- Produces a maximum 15 mm (5/8 in.) chamfer height at 45°.
- Maximum chamfer width at 45° is 21 mm (13/16 in.).
- One-Touch Controller provides quick, tool-free cutting-depth adjustment.
- Cutting depth can be adjusted in approximately 0.1 mm (0.004 in.) increments.
- Vario-Tacho-Constamatic (VTC) electronics help maintain a consistent speed under load.
- Variable-speed control allows the operating speed to be matched to the material and application.
- Pipe-following roller helps guide the tool along curved workpieces.
- Adjustable guide plates support consistent beveling along the workpiece.
- Electronic overload protection helps protect the motor during demanding operations.
- Electronic soft start allows smooth acceleration when the tool is switched on.
- Restart protection helps prevent accidental startup after a power interruption.
- Rotatable battery pack improves accessibility when working in confined areas.
- Compatible with Metabo 18V LiHD/Li-ion batteries and the CAS battery system.

Specifications are based on the KFM 18 LTX 3 RF platform and may vary slightly according to regional model or order number. Always verify the manufacturer's specification sheet for the exact item being purchased.
Precise Chamfering Performance
The KFM 18 LTX 3 RF is designed for applications where a controlled, repeatable metal chamfer is required. Instead of removing material manually with a grinding wheel, the milling system provides a more consistent edge profile.
The universal milling head uses three indexable carbide inserts. When an insert cutting edge becomes worn, it can be indexed or replaced as appropriate, helping reduce downtime and maintain cutting performance.
Adjustable Beveling Angle
Different fabrication and welding applications require different edge profiles. The KFM 18 LTX 3 RF accommodates chamfer angles from 0° to 90°, giving users considerable flexibility when preparing metal components.
At a 45° setting, the tool can produce a chamfer up to 15 mm (5/8 inch) high and 21 mm (13/16 inch) wide.
The fine depth-adjustment system allows the operator to make small changes to the cutting depth, helping achieve consistent results across multiple workpieces.
Brushless 18V Cordless Design
The brushless motor delivers efficient performance without the regular carbon-brush replacement associated with conventional brushed motors. Combined with Metabo's 18V battery platform, the tool can be used in locations where access to a power outlet is limited or where a power cable would interfere with the work.
The rotatable battery interface can also be positioned to improve clearance when beveling edges in restricted locations.
Pipe and Curved-Workpiece Capability
The integrated pipe-following roller makes the KFM 18 LTX 3 RF more versatile than a basic edge-beveling machine. It helps the tool follow curved surfaces when working on suitable pipes and cylindrical components.
This feature is particularly useful for:
- Pipe fabrication
- Weld preparation
- Cylindrical metal components
- Industrial maintenance
- Metal installation work
Electronic Control and Protection
The tool uses Vario-Tacho-Constamatic electronics to help maintain a stable operating speed when the cutter encounters varying loads. Variable-speed control allows the user to select an appropriate speed for the material and cutting conditions.
Additional electronic protection includes overload protection, soft start, and restart protection. These systems are designed to improve control and help protect the tool during demanding metalworking operations.
Applications
The Metabo KFM 18 LTX 3 RF is suitable for a variety of professional metalworking tasks, including:
- Metal edge beveling
- Weld preparation
- Weld seam preparation
- Removing sharp edges
- Preparing steel components
- Stainless-steel fabrication
- Pipe-edge preparation
- General metal fabrication
- Industrial maintenance
- Construction and installation work
Bare Tool Configuration
This version is sold as a bare tool, so the package does not include an 18V battery or charger. Users who already have compatible Metabo or CAS batteries can use their existing power system rather than purchasing another battery and charging kit.
Typical tool and accessory contents may include the beveling tool, universal milling head, carbide inserts, guide components, and necessary adjustment tools. Package contents should be checked against the specific seller's listing and order number, as configurations can differ by market.
Why Choose the Metabo KFM 18 LTX 3 RF?
The Metabo KFM 18 LTX 3 RF Cordless Beveling Tool provides professional metalworkers with a combination of cordless mobility, precise depth adjustment, adjustable beveling angles, and high-capacity edge preparation.
Its brushless 18V motor, universal milling head, 0°–90° angle adjustment, pipe-following capability, and electronic protection features make it well suited to demanding fabrication and weld-preparation work. The bare-tool configuration is especially convenient for professionals already using the Metabo 18V/CAS battery platform.
