A heavy-duty I.D. clamping pipe milling end prep tool now offered with an electric motor for performing heavy-wall preps at metal fabrication shops or on-site is being introduced by ESCO Tool.

The Prepzilla MILLHOG Electric I.D. Clamping End Prep Tool features robust construction with dual-opposed tapered roller bearings, direct-drive gears, a rigid blade lock system, and TiN coated T-15 tool steel cutter blades. Now offered with an 1800W motor that operates on 110/230VAC, it needs only one mandrel and eight sets of clamps for pipe from 1.5" I.D. to 8.62" O.D.

Designed to bevel, face, and bore all hard pipe alloys, the Prepzilla MILLHOG Electric I.D. Clamping End Prep Tool is supplied complete with all clamp ribs and pads, a hose and filter, lubricator, and a metal carrying case. For users who have the pneumatic version of the tool and want to convert to electric, the changeover only requires four bolts.

  • milling

    milling

    Machining operation in which metal or other material is removed by applying power to a rotating cutter. In vertical milling, the cutting tool is mounted vertically on the spindle. In horizontal milling, the cutting tool is mounted horizontally, either directly on the spindle or on an arbor. Horizontal milling is further broken down into conventional milling, where the cutter rotates opposite the direction of feed, or “up” into the workpiece; and climb milling, where the cutter rotates in the direction of feed, or “down” into the workpiece. Milling operations include plane or surface milling, endmilling, facemilling, angle milling, form milling and profiling.

    titanium nitride ( TiN)

    Added to titanium-carbide tooling to permit machining of hard metals at high speeds. Also used as a tool coating. See coated tools.
