C-Hog Millhog OD Clamping End Prep Tool

May 01, 2015

An upgraded O.D. clamping end prep tool that is ideal for beveling, flat facing and J-prepping water wall boilers equipped with small bore heavy-well tubes has been introduced by ESCO Tool.

The ESCO C-Hog Millhog O.D. clamping end prep tool features a rugged clamp that mounts onto the outside of a tube, evenly distributing the holding power to assure a chatter-free end prep on small bore heavy-wall tubes. Developed for machining highly alloyed tubes, this tool is only 1-¾" W to fit tight areas between water wall boiler tubes and has been upgraded with a 1.07-hp pneumatic motor that runs at 130 RPM and produces higher torque.

Suited for use on high-purity piping systems requiring 37-½ degree bevels, flat-facing, J-preps or orbital welding, the ESCO C-Hog Millhog O.D. clamping end prep tool utilizes easy-to-change clamp sets for prepping tube and pipe from ½" to 3" O.D. Equipped with a ratchet feel, it provides over 1" of stroke for smooth operation without requiring cutting oils.
