Production Increases Over 300%
The MILLHOG ® “Air Clamp” is designed for
shop use when cycle time between end preps
needs to be minimized. A side by side
comparison shows, end prep production can
increase by more than 300% using the
“Air Clamp” when compared to a manually
actuated clamping system.
The “Air Clamp” instantly locks the tool to the
pipe or tube i.d and holds it securely in place
while performing the end prep. When done,
removing the tool from the work is simple,
reverse the valve and the clamps disengage
automatically releasing the tool from the tube
I.D. immediately.
Easy to install, the “Air Clamp” can be fitted to
an existing “Mongoose”, “Ground”, and “Tube
Weasel” MILLHOG ® in minutes, and requires
no special tools of training.

Ideal for Tube Fabrication Facilities...
Automatic I.D. Clamping End Prep Tool
Built for production, the “Air Clamp” series MILLHOGS are ideal for tube
fabrication shops that do large numbers of end preps on tube and pipe of
consistent size.
Operators will like the quick action of the “Air Clamp”. This simple innovation is
easy to use, increases production, and minimizes operator fatigue by
eliminating the tedious and time consuming task of manual clamping.
Designed to last, “Air Clamp” MILLHOGS are built on the reliable MILLHOG ®
dual opposed, bearing supported gear drive system that has performed
millions of end preps on all types of tube and pipe alloys proving itself to be
second to none for durability and performance.
“Air Clamp” MILLHOGS also feature the “EscoLock” blade locking system that
holds the cutting blade so rigid that MILLHOGS are capable of
producing 2-3 more end preps per blade, and in less time than competitive
tools. This helps make the “Air Clamp” MILLHOGS the fastest and most cost
efficient end prep tools you can use in a production application.
To operate, simply acuate the valve,
and the clamps instantly lock the tool
into position. Reverse the valve, and
the clamps disengage from the I.D
immediately.
“Air Clamps” are available for
the “Ground”, “Tube Weasel”
and “Mongoose” Millhog ® ,
and can be installed by simply
removing the manual draw rod
assembly and attaching the
“Air Clamp”.
