Tube Beveler Upgraded to Fitup Panels Anywhere The Mongoose MILLHOG® beveling tool, a self-centering inner diameter clamping, right-angle drive tool that can bevel, face, and bore simultaneously and also be supplied with a cutter head for membrane and overlay removal, has been upgraded with a new battery that allows operators to fitup boiler tube panels virtually anywhere. It is now offered with a 6.2 Ah-, 18-V rechargeable battery. Allowing up to 1-h operation, depending on the application, the beveling tool is useful for 5⁄8-in. I.D. to 3-in. O.D. tubes and needs 2.25-in. minimum clearance. Providing chatter-free operation without cutting oils, this portable tool uses TiN-coated cutter blades with a radical chip breaker to direct heat away from the tube surface.
