ESCO's MILLOG APS-438 Air Powered Saw
A field pipe-cutting saw for water-main installation, maintenance, emergency repair, and other applications involving concrete lined ductile iron pipe has been introduced by Esco Tool.
The MILLOG APS-438 Air Powered Saw employs a proprietary 12-inch abrasive cut-off blade capable of cutting concrete lined ductile iron pipe and is available with a WrapTrack® System for cutting pipe from 6- to 60-inch diameter. Featuring a trolley that mounts on wrap-around track sections and an articulating arm which keeps the saw blade on its leading edge to produce square cuts accurate to ±1/16 inch, it eliminates torch cutting and grinding.
Leaving a smooth finish for joining the pipes using couplings, the MILLOG APS-438 Air Powered Saw provides a cutting depth of 4 inch and is easy to use. This pneumatic saw is ideal for installing valves, hydrants, tees, tapping sleeves, and for modifying wastewater and sewage force mains, cutting pipe in treatment-plant renovations, and related fluid distribution applications.
