ESCO Tool (Holliston, MA) is re-releasing an ID-clamping welding end-prep tool for boiler tube work on stainless steel and other highly alloyed tubes with overlays with an optional 1.25-hp motor. The Mongoose MILLHOG® is a self-centering, right-angle drive ID clamping air-powered end-prep tool for boiler tubes ranging from ¾ in ID to 3 in OD and is only 2-1/4 in wide to fit a "Dutchman."
Featuring a robust gear drive with dual tapered roller bearings, it has a standard ¾-hp motor or an optional 1.25-hp motor for end prepping stainless steel and other highly alloyed tubes with overlays, and it doesn't need cutting oils.
Providing chatter-free operation, the Mongoose MILLHOG utilizes the EscoLock? rigid blade lock system and T-15 tool steel TiN coated cutter blades with a radical chip breaker that directs the chip away from the tube and minimizes heat generation.
