WELDING END PREP TOOL SELF-CENTERING WITH ROBUST GEAR DRIVE

Back to News
An I.D. clamping welding end prep tool for boiler tube work on stainless steel and other highly alloyed tubes with overlays is being re-introduced with an optional 1.25 HP motor from ESCO Tool of Holliston, Massachusetts.

The ESCO Mongoose MILLHOG® is a self-centering right angle drive I.D. clamping air-powered end prep tool for boiler tubes ranging from 3/4” I.D. to 3” O.D. and is only 2-1/4” W to fit a “Dutchman.” Featuring a robust gear drive with dual tapered roller bearings, it has a standard 3/4 HP motor or an optional 1.25 HP motor for end prepping stainless steel and other highly alloyed tubes with overlays, and doesn’t need cutting oils.

Providing chatter-free operation, the ESCO Mongoose MILLHOG® utilizes the EscoLock™ rigid blade lock system and T-15 tool steel TiN coated cutter blades with a radical chip breaker that directs the chip away from the tube and minimizes heat generation. Wrenches are permanently attached and a patented push-pull release mechanism pushes the clamps off the mandrel.

The ESCO Mongoose MILLHOG® is priced from $4,495.00 and is available for rental in the continental U.S.A. for $168.00 per week.
