Precise portable machining for pipe, tube and boiler work
HADI presents Esco Tool equipment in Israel for portable machining of pipe and tube. The local catalogue includes beveling, cutting, facing, alignment and tube expansion products published on the site. HADI can help define dimensions, material, wall thickness and access limits before selecting a tool.
Esco Tool was founded in 1954 and developed portable machines for tube and pipe end preparation. The company later developed narrow body inside diameter clamping machines for boiler tube spacing. The MILLHOG line became a central field machining platform, with models matched to different diameters and access conditions.
The range includes inside and outside diameter bevelers, COHOG split frame machines, FLANGE HOG facers, cutting saws, blades, tube expanders, rolling motors and alignment tools. Applications include weld preparation, cold cutting, boiler maintenance, chemical and sanitary process piping, oil and gas, data centers, fabrication, shipyards, aerospace and defense. Correct tool selection influences end squareness, repeatability and outage time.
MILLHOG machines create bevels, faces and internal bores for the geometry and material required by manual or automatic welding.
Narrow tools, saws and expanders support tube replacement, waterwall work and emergency repairs during outages.
Split frame, cutting and facing tools provide portable machining when the pipe or equipment is difficult to move.
Narrow bodies reach between dense pipework
Cold cutting may limit the heat affected zone
Diameter, drive and blade ranges fit specifications
Esco selection requires pipe diameter, material, wall thickness, end type, tolerance and access limits. A drawing and photo help distinguish end preparation, cutting, grinding, expansion or alignment.
Hadi can check the local Esco subset and organize the data before quoting. Share pipe dimensions and outage requirements.
The choice depends on pipe diameter, wall thickness, material, access and whether the pipe can be surrounded or requires a split-frame setup. MILLHOG machines address end preparation and facing, while COHOG and split-frame machines suit equipment that cannot be dismantled or moved.
Boiler work can leave very little clearance around a tube or waterwall. A narrow-body tool can support cutting, beveling or expanding in that restricted space, but tube diameter, access, wall material and the exact operation must be checked before selecting the configuration.
Cutting separates the pipe, while end preparation creates a bevel, face or internal geometry for welding and joint requirements. A job may require a sequence of cutting, facing, beveling and inspection, so tooling and blades must match material, thickness and joint tolerance.
Provide outside and inside diameter, wall thickness, material, working length, access, power source and required operation. Photos and drawings of the pipe or equipment help assess clearance, clamping, cutting accessories and whether the work can be completed in place.
