Bevels are the foundation for high-quality welds

February 13, 2019 - An O.D. clamping portable beveling tool that is ideal for performing end preps on thin-wall tube where maintaining the integrity of the inside diameter is critical has been introduced by Esco Tool of Holliston, Massachusetts.

The C-HOG MILLHOG® O.D. Clamping End Prep Tool evenly distributes holding power to securely mount on the outside of high purity thin-wall tube and perform chatter-free welding end preps. Maintaining the integrity of the inside of the tube, it can produce any angle of prep including j-preps without needing cutting fluids and is ideal for orbital welding.

Capable of prepping and flat-facing simultaneously, the C-HOG MILLHOG® O.D. Clamping End Prep Tool is suited for tube and pipe from 0.50 in. I.D. to 3.0 in. O.D. and is offered with pneumatic, electric, and battery power. Equipped with a ratchet feed, it provides over 1 in. of stroke for smooth operation.

The JMB-1250 is a compact and powerful pneumatic beveling tool that allows the fabricator to make precise and uniform cuts on a variety of materials and shapes, cutting chamfers up to .060 in. deep on material .10 in. and thicker and countersinking holes down to .27 in. round. At less than 5 in. long and weighing under a pound, the Motor Guard Palm Beveling Tool works where larger, more awkward tools won’t. The JMB-1250 features an adjustable chamfer depth and three triple edged cutting heads that are indexable for long life.
