C-Monster Millhog OD-Clamping Machine

An OD-clamping machine for beveling small heavy wall tube and pipe that adapts to virtually any work environment and is ideal for training welders is being introduced by Esco Tool. The C-Monster MILLHOG can bevel, face and bore simultaneously, and pull a thick chip dry without cutting oils. Suitable for making tube and pipe assemblies virtually anywhere, this tool mounts on a cart for mobility and produces bevels with smooth mirror finishes on Inconel and Super Duplex alloys.

Ideal for machining test coupons in welding schools, the C-Monster MILLHOG has a range of 1.75” ID to 4.5” OD and features a clamp with a large contact area that holds the tube and pipe rigidly and reduces chatter. It has easy-to-change tooling and can flat face thin wall stainless for orbital welding. An 1800w electric motor and 2-hp pneumatic motor are available.

  • chatter

    chatter

    Condition of vibration involving the machine, workpiece and cutting tool. Once this condition arises, it is often self-sustaining until the problem is corrected. Chatter can be identified when lines or grooves appear at regular intervals in the workpiece. These lines or grooves are caused by the teeth of the cutter as they vibrate in and out of the workpiece and their spacing depends on the frequency of vibration.
