PIPE BEVELING TOOLS PULL THICK CHIP FOR WELD INTEGRITY
A full line of pipe beveling welding end prep tools that combine rigidity with a wedge-lock cutter head and blades that produce a thick chip without cutting oils is available from ESCO Tool of Holliston, Massachusetts. Esco MILLHOG® Pipe Beveling Tools pull a thick chip without cutting oils to promote weld integrity and faster fit-up by providing a precise end prep that is superior to hand grinding. Producing any angle of prep from 37-1/2° to 10° and compound bevels, these tools incorporate the EscoLock™ wedge-lock cutter head and proprietary blade featuring a radical chip breaker which gets under the material and directs heat away from the surface. Capable of producing end preps with ±0.001” precision, Esco MILLHOG® Pipe Beveling Tools increase productivity by producing better matched pipe ends, claims the firm. A broad range of tools, cutter blades and accessories are available for cutting and machining pipe, tube, pipelines, boiler tube panels and more ranging from 0.5” I.D. up to 36” O.D.
