Boilermaker Tough and Field Proven

With the MILLHOG® Air Powered boiler tube panel saw, you can cut all your alloys in one go with ease.

The EscoTrack system securely attaches to any type of steel – even ones that are hard or irregularly shaped.

Simply attach this powerful tool onto a section using weld tabs and make your horizontal cuts; then simply rotate it 90 degrees before reattaching foryour vertical cuts.

The powerful motor and proprietary reinforced fiberglass abrasive blade cut all alloy efficiently, making both horizontal or vertical cuts possible after completing one simple procedure!

For even faster membrane removal, you can use the membrane removal bracket and available 0.250” (6.35 mm) or 0.375” (9.53 mm) membrane removal blades.

Combining a MILLHOG® tube beveling tool equiped with a membrane or membrane and overlay (cladding) removal head, the tube end prep and its outside diameter are quickly and economically prepared for welding.

The APS-438 Saw moves up and down on the Vertical Track Attachment for cutting membrane from between boiler tubes and the attachment can be slid horizontal on the standard track for precise alignment. Two brakes, one on the APS-438 Saw and one on the Vertical Track Attachment enable secure and stable cutting.

Cut-Off Blades and Membrane Removal Blades

Saw blades are available in a variety of widths and diameters and made to cut a wide range of material from super duplex to concrete lined ductile iron pipe to boiler tubes with inconel overlay.
