Welding end prep tools bevel, face and bore simultaneously

A full line of cutter blades and locking cutter heads for welding end prep tools is available from Esco Tool. The tools can bevel, face and bore simultaneously, while improving weld surfaces.

Esco Millhog® Cutter Blades feature a radical chip breaker that gets under the material and directs heat away from the pipe or tube to produce a thick chip without cutting oils and extends long blade life. Developed for its line Millhog® welding end prep tools, these blades mount into the EscoLock™ wedge-lock cutter head where they are rigidly held to bevel, face and bore simultaneously, including multiple angles for heavy-wall pipe.

Ideally suited for stainless steels, P-91 and other hard materials, Esco Millhog® Cutter Blades are made from T-15 tool steel and are TiN coated or available with a hard lube coating. Blades are available with any angle of prep from 37½ degrees to 10 degrees and compound bevels. Portable welding end prep tools are offered for tube and pipe from ½” I.D. to 36” O.D.
