ESCO Tool Company was founded in 1954 and developed the first portable beveling machines for tube and pipe fabrication. After early success on the Trident Nuclear Submarine project, this equipment rapidly became the most popular way to bevel high pressure tube and pipe on‐site. Esco Tool MILLHOG® End Prep Tools are built tough and precision machined in the USA from the finest materials. Boiler tube membrane removal and beveling can be completed in one pass for accurate fit‐ups, which helps ensure high‐quality welds.  

Customer feedback has led us to develop our own line of Cohog® clamshell split frames that hold true to our reputation of providing high‐quality manufacturing and reliable products. The Cohog allows users to simultaneously part and bevel heavy‐walled pipe, with a more simplified setup process than competitive split frames. Machined out of aircraft‐grade hard anodized 7075 aluminum and heat treated 4140 steel, we continue to provide a top‐quality product. 

ESCO Tool now has a line of over 23 field‐proven products that are used all over the world in power generation plants, pulp and paper plants, refineries, fabrication facilities, public work systems, and other metalworking industries.
