A versatile air-powered panel saw that produces perfectly square cuts on stainless steel, super duplex, Inconel, concrete lined pipe, and other hard materials is available from Esco Tool (Holliston, MA).
The APS-438 Air-Powered Saw features a standard fiberglass reinforced blade or optional carbide-tipped steel blade and produces a 4-3/8 in deep cut. Providing ±1/16 in accuracy and no HAZ, this saw easily attaches to boiler panels using two weld tabs or a quick-clamp for trimming new panels and is offered with a rigid chain-mount clamp system to permit single pipe work.
Faster and cleaner than a reciprocating hack saw for pipe chop-off applications, the APS-438 Air-Powered Saw is ideal for fabrication shop and fit-up work at job sites. Powered by a 3 hp motor, it requires only 80 cfm @90 psi, and weighs only 28 lb.
