The APS-438 Low Radial Clearance (LRC) MILLHOG is a highly compact air-powered saw, designed for applications with tight space restrictions. This saw works exclusively with EscoWrap Tracks and requires only 8 inches of clearance around tube, pipe, tank, panel, or pillar cutting applications.

Like the Standard and Low Profile air-powered MILLHOG saws, the APS-438 LRC performs perfectly square cuts and leaves no heat-affected-zone. EscoWrap tracks securely clamp to the pipe O.D. and the trolley is attached to it for mounting the saw. This ultra-stable platform permits the operator to easily move the saw around the circumference to produce a clean, perfectly square cut.
