HOLLISTON, MA--(Marketwired - Jul 30, 2013) - ESCO Tool has introduced a portable pneumatic saw with an innovative pipe trolley system that lets users accurately square cut ductile iron concrete lined pipe from 6" to 60" dia. 

The MILLHOG® APS-438 Air Powered Saw and steel WrapTrack^® System attach to a pipe's circumference and feature an abrasive blade designed for cutting ductile iron concrete lined pipe from 6" to 60" dia. Producing square cuts with 1/8" accuracy, this fully portable saw mounts on a trolley equipped with four V-grooved steel wheels that glide along the steel WrapTrack^® system which can be sized exactly to fit the pipe O.D.
