A portable, I.D. clamping end prep tool that is ideally suited for prepping hard alloy pipe for welding in situ, especially on oil rigs and in other remote locations, is available from ESCO Tool of Holliston, Massachusetts.

The ESCO PrepZilla MILLHOG® I.D. clamping welding end prep tool can bevel any angle of prep and square the pipe ends on Super Duplex stainless steel, P-91, and other hard alloys in one-step. Featuring one mandrel and eight sets of clamps to fit pipe from 1-1/2” I.D. to 8-5/8” O.D., this portable tool weighs only 40 lbs. and requires no special operator training.
