Millhog Commander ID Clamping End Prep Tool

April 13, 2013

A portable end prep tool for heavy wall stainless steel pipe and difficult-to-machine alloys that pulls a thick chip without cutting oils for producing superior welds is available from ESCO Tool.

The MILLHOG Commander I.D. Clamping End Prep Tool features large clamp pads that spread their contact forces radially inside the pipe to provide rigid clamping for chatter-free end preps on thin and heavy-wall pipe. Utilizing formed tool bits with chip breakers that direct heat away from the surface, this tool can perform 37-½ degree bevels, compound, counterbore, and J-preps without cutting oils, to meet most welding requirements.

Equipped with one mandrel and seven sets of clamps, the MILLHOG Commander I.D. Clamping End Prep Tool can prep all schedules of pipe from 3.75" I.D. to 14" O.D. Standard with a 3-HP pneumatic motor, 1800W electric and hydraulic motors are optional. Applications include pipeline construction, fabrication shops, offshore super duplex, petrochem, and power generation.

The MILLHOG Commander I.D. Clamping End Prep Tool is priced from $14,995.00 and is available for rent, with 24 hour shipment or less usually available.
