A portable pipe beveler featuring large mounting clamp pads that spread their clamping forces radially to mount securely and provide chatter-free welding end preps has been introduced by Esco Tool of Holliston, MA.
The Commander MILLHOG® I.D. Clamping pipe beveling machine is designed to prep all schedules of pipe from 3.75” I.D. to 14” O.D. using one mandrel and seven sets of clamps. Featuring three large, wide clamps that spread their contact forces radially inside the pipe for ultra-stable mounting, this beveler provides chatter-free operation to perform precision end preps on both thin and heavy wall pipe without requiring cutting fluids.
Employing formed cutter blades with chip breakers that direct heat away from the pipe’s surface to prevent work hardening, the Commander MILLHOG® can perform 37-1/2º bevels, compound, counterbore, and J-preps on Super Duplex and other high-alloy pipe materials. Models are available with pneumatic, electric, and hydraulic motors are available.
The Commander MILLHOG® I.D. Clamping pipe beveling machine is priced from $15,995 and is available for rent at $750 per week.
