HOLLISTON, MA--(Marketwire - Mar 13, 2013) - ESCO Tool offers a full line of pipe beveling welding end prep tools that are rigid and feature a wedge-lock cutter head and blades that direct heat away from the surface to produce a thick chip without cutting oils.

Esco MILLHOG® Pipe Beveling Tools pull a thick chip without cutting oils to promote weld integrity and faster fit-up by providing a precise end prep that is superior to hand grinding. Producing any angle of prep from 37-1/2° to 10° and compound bevels, these tools incorporate the EscoLock™ wedge-lock cutter head and proprietary cutter blades featuring a radical chip breaker which gets under the material and directs heat away from the surface.
