RIDGID 975 Combo Roll Groover

Catalog No.: 25638 | Model: 975

Product Description

The RIDGID Model 975 Combo Roll Groover, Cat. No. 25638, is a heavy-duty, versatile roll grooving machine designed for creating precise rolled grooves in pipe for mechanical pipe joining systems. It functions as two tools in one: it can be mounted on a RIDGID 300 Power Drive for machine-powered grooving, or operated manually for grooving pipe in place.

The 975 features RIDGID's AutoTracking technology, which helps keep the pipe automatically engaged with the grooving rolls during operation. Its integral indexed depth gauge provides quick and repeatable groove-depth adjustment. The tool's 55% higher gear reduction reduces the hand force required during manual grooving, making it particularly useful for overhead and difficult-to-access applications.

Constructed with a durable ductile-iron body and base, the Model 975 is designed for demanding jobsite use while its cast-in handle makes transportation easier.
