WELDING END PREP TOOL BEVELS HIGH CHROME CONTENT BOILER TUBES

An I.D. clamping welding end prep tool that produces high torque at low RPM for cutting high chrome content boiler tubes, stainless steel, and tubes with overlays is available from ESCO Tool of Holliston, Massachusetts.

The ESCO Mongoose MILLHOG® right angle drive I.D. clamping welding end prep tool features a 1.25 HP motor with a robust reduction drive gear to produce 240 lbs. of torque at 100 RPM. Suitable for cutting high chrome content boiler tubes, stainless steel, and tubes with overlays, it only requires nine sets of clamps for the full 0.750” I.D. to 3” O.D. range of the tool and has a self-centering mandrel with a patented push-pull release design.

Eliminating the need for cutting fluids, the ESCO Mongoose MILLHOG® Welding End Prep Tool uses TiN coated cutter blades machined from T-15 tool steel which mount securely into the rigid EscoLock™ blade lock system to provide chatter-free operation. The blades feature a radical chip breaker which directs the chip away from the tube and minimizes heat generation.

The ESCO Mongoose MILLHOG® Welding End Prep Tool is priced from $4,495.00 and is available for rent in the continental U.S.A. for $175.00 per week.
