ESCO Tool provides a full line of precision bevelers and a pneumatic saw that produces perfectly square cuts with no heat affected zone in all materials and pipe schedules up to 60 in diameter.

The APS-438 Air Powered Saw and WrapTrack® pipe trolley from ESCO Tool (Holliston, MA) lets operators rapidly cold cut pipe from 6 in to 60 in OD with ±1/16 in accuracy and no HAZ (heat affected zone) to permit better end prep bevels for welding. Ideally suited for pipeline construction and repairs, users can use a variety of MILLHOG® end prep tools to perform any angle of prep and square the pipe ends simultaneously. Designed to produce high integrity welds on any schedule pipe from 1.5 in up to 36 in OD, MILLHOG pipe beveling tools include self-centering draw rod assemblies for fast setup and a blade lock system for rigid mounting. Combined with cold cutting, these bevelers pull a thick chip without cutting fluids and use cutter blades that transfer heat away from the pipe surface. The APS-438 Air Powered Saw, WrapTrack pipe trolley and MILLHOG pipe beveling tools are all available for sale or rent.
