The Wart MILLHOG is a portable right angle I.D. clamping pipe and tube beveling machine with a low-maintenance design — a favorite among boilermakers and pipe fitters. Compact 2.625" body fits between tubes in a boiler waterwall.

The Wart MILLHOG is a portable right angle I.D. clamping pipe and tube beveling machine that features an efficient low maintenance design. Incorporating a gear drive that is fully supported by dual opposed tapered roller bearings and three heavy duty ball bearings, this gives the Wart the backbone to satisfy a wide variety of applications and is a favorite choice among boilermakers and pipe fitters.

All components are made of the finest materials and parts subject to wear are heat treated for durability and long use. Sealed construction prevents debris from getting inside the tool, allowing use in any orientation. The compact design requires a minimum of 2.625″ to fit between tubes in a boiler tube waterwall.

Mandrel Kit (1.0" / 25.4mm) — H-221

The H-221 mandrel kit is designed to fit both the Wart MILLHOG and Tube Weasel MILLHOG gear head and will allow it to fit in tube with a 1.0" (25.4mm) I.D. The advantage of this mandrel kit is that it uses the same cutterhead and wrench assembly that comes standard on the Tube Weasel and Wart, but allows for slightly smaller I.D. compared to standard. Clamping range with this mandrel kit is 1.0" (25.4mm) I.D. to 1.3" (33mm) I.D.

Includes: (1) Mandrel 1.0" (25.4mm) (1) Actuator 1.0" (25.4mm) and draw rod assembly (1) Draw rod stop collar (1) Clamp rib set H-0

Mandrel Kit (0.75" / 19.1mm) — H-240

The H-240 mandrel kit is designed to fit in the Wart MILLHOG gear head and will allow it to fit in tube with a 0.75" (19.1mm) I.D. This kit comes with a specific cutterhead that will fit the smaller 0.75" (19.1mm) shaft along with the draw rod assembly. The clamping range of this mandrel kit is 0.75" (19.1mm) I.D. to 1.28" (32.5mm) I.D.

Includes: (1) Mandrel 0.75" (19.1mm) (1) Actuator 0.75" (19.1mm) and draw rod assembly (1) Draw rod stop collar (1) Wrench (4) Clamp Rib sets (G-03A – G-06) (1) Cutterhead 2.625" (66.7mm) for 0.75" (19.1mm) mandrel

Z-Wart Configuration — Consult Factory

The Z-Wart MILLHOG incorporates a right angle drive that lowers the rpm by half and doubles the torque at the cutter blade. This makes it well suited for applications that include tube stub removal. Please consult factory for application specifications and ordering information.

Membrane Removal Head — See size chart

Cutting head designed to remove the membrane between tubes on a boiler panel. Membrane heads use MRB-8 inserts (8mm carbide bit, same insert as Overlay heads) to remove material. A specific base cutterhead is required for mounting.

Includes: (1) Membrane head (specify size) (3) Mounting screws NOT INCLUDED: Base head (see size chart) Inserts

Overlay Removal Head — See size chart

Cutting head designed to remove the membrane and overlay on boiler panels coated with overlay material. Uses the same 8mm insert as the membrane heads. A specific base head is required for mounting. Slightly smaller circumference than membrane heads forces the head under hard material.

Includes: (1) Overlay head (specify size) (3) Mounting screws NOT INCLUDED: Base head (see size chart) Inserts
