Portable Pipe Beveling Tools with ID or OD Clamping

Two alternative portable pipe milling tools for performing welding end preps on pipe and tube from 0.5 in ID to 3 in OD with different bores and wall thicknesses are available from ESCO Tool (Holliston, MA). MILLHOG® Pipe Beveling Tools for pipe and tube from 0.5 in ID to 3 in OD work well on all hard alloys without cutting fluids and can bevel, face, and bore simultaneously. For applications from 0.75 in ID, the Tube Weasel right angle ID clamping tool is self-centering and fits a Dutchman 2.75 in W. For applications with small bore heavy wall tube and pipe, the C-HOG rigidly clamps on the OD, allowing the use of larger ID boring blades. Available with pneumatic, electric, or battery power, these Tube Weasel and C-Hog tools provide rigid mounting with internal and external clamping surfaces, respectively, and torque-free operation. Both tools feature robust construction and utilize cutter blades with radical chip breakers that transfer heat away from the surface. Standard blades are TiN coated and a Hard Lube version is offered for superior heat resistance. The Tube Weasel is priced from $4,495 and the C-Hog is $3,995. Both tools are available for rent.
