Pipe-end Prep Tool Covers Medium to Large Outside Diameters
ESCO Tool has introduced a new clamping welding end-prep tool
that compensates for out-of-round conditions and can perform
complex end preps on highly alloyed pipe up to 36-in. (914-mm)
O.D. The Terminator Millhog rigidly clamps to the I.D. and has a
tracker to compensate for out-of-roundness. Capable of producing
symmetrical end preps of any angle, including J preps, the tool
can bevel, face, and bore simultaneously on all types of hard alloys
including SuperDuplex and pulls a thick chip without cutting flu-ids. Available with a 5-hp (3.7-kW) pneumatic or hydraulic motor,
the Terminator Millhog needs only eight sets of clamps and two
wedges for its entire tool range, is quick to set-up, and requires no
special operator training. Providing torque-free operation, it uses
TiN-coated formed cutter bits with chip breakers that direct heat
away from the pipe surface.
