An air powered saw and track system which reportedly attaches easily to water wall boiler tube sections to produce square cuts that require no further rework is available from ESCO Tool.
The MILLHOG APS-438 Air Powered Saw and EscoTrack System lets an operator efficiently cut sections of water wall boiler tubes by allowing the leading edge of the blade to cut each pipe with +/-1⁄8" accuracy. Easy to attach and align, the track fully supports the saw which glides along smoothly and can produce a clean, straight 4-3/8" deep cut while reducing operator fatigue.
Eliminating the use of grinders and hand-held saws, the MILLHOG APS-438 Air Powered Saw and EscoTrack System features a 3 HP pneumatic motor anduses 12" reinforced fiberglass abrasive blades that can cut stainless steel, Inconel, ash pipe and lined pipe. The saw requires 90 psi at 80 cfm and the steel track comes in 5 ft. sections and attaches using weld tabs.
The MILLHOG APS-438 Air Powered Saw and EscoTrack System are priced from $5,995.00 (list) and are available for rent in the continental U.S.A. Purchase and rental pricing quotations are available upon request.

Phenomenon leading to fracture under repeated or fluctuating stresses having a maximum value less than the tensile strength of the material. Fatigue fractures are progressive, beginning as minute cracks that grow under the action of the fluctuating stress.
- sawing machine ( saw)
sawing machine ( saw)
Machine designed to use a serrated-tooth blade to cut metal or other material. Comes in a wide variety of styles but takes one of four basic forms: hacksaw (a simple, rugged machine that uses a reciprocating motion to part metal or other material); cold or circular saw (powers a circular blade that cuts structural materials); bandsaw (runs an endless band; the two basic types are cutoff and contour band machines, which cut intricate contours and shapes); and abrasive cutoff saw (similar in appearance to the cold saw, but uses an abrasive disc that rotates at high speeds rather than a blade with serrated teeth).
