Esco Tool (Holliston, MA) introduces the Membrane Removal Head, designed to fit five different Millhog® tools that cover a tube range from 7/8 in to 3 in OD for removing membrane and the overlay (cladding) from the tube?s outer surface. Featuring proprietary Golf ?T? inserts for assembling the head, which make 360 deg contact with the holder as the head rotates, the holding forces of the inserts are multiplied to minimize vibration, reduce heat, and maximize their life.

Eliminating screws and head breakage, the Golf ?T? inserts are easy to install and remove without wrenches. The head comes in two styles: one to remove membrane only and another which also removes the overlay. Both can be fit with a blade to bevel the tube simultaneously.

These Membrane Removal Heads are priced from $772.50 and can be retrofit or purchased with tools. They are produced under license and covered by U.S. Patent Nos. 5,356,248, 5,542,177, 6,995,507 7,313,992 and others pending.
