A right angle pipe and boiler tube machining tool has been upgraded with a new air motor which provides more torque at the cutter head and is easy to disassemble and clean is being introduced by ESCO Tool.
The Esco Ground MILLHOG is a right angle drive I.D. clamping tube beveling tool that requires only 1-½" clearance, easily fits into water wall boiler tube panels, and includes all attached wrenches. Featuring a 1 HP pneumatic motor that is easy to disassemble and clean in the field, and a robust gear train with a proprietary gear reduction design, this tool operates at 125 RPM and produces 41 ft.-lbs. torque at the cutter head.
Suitable for tubes from ½" I.D. to 2-¼" O.D., the Esco Ground MILLHOG is designed to machine tubes that are highly alloyed, or have high chrome content, using TiN coated cutter blades and no cutting fluids. Equipped with a push-pull clamp and release that disengages easily, ratchet feed, and a safety lever throttle, this tool can be used in any orientation.
The Esco Ground MILLHOG is priced from $4,995.00 and is available for rent.
