A pneumatic saw and clamp setup that produces a stress-free cut on thick steel plate without a HAZ (heat affect zone) typically caused by torch cutting has been introduced by ESCO Tool of Holliston, MA.
The ESCO APS-438 Air-Powered Saw and Quick-Clamp sets up fast using a 2″W steel track and has two wedge-style clamps that attach to steel plate up to
15’W by 3.5″ thick and accepts the saw. Ideally suited for the on-site fabrication of ships and other large structures, the clamp lines up quickly and the pneumatic saw produces a stress-free cut with no HAZ.
Eliminating the damage and danger associated with torch cutting, the ESCO APS-438 Air-Powered Saw and the Quick-Clamp attaches without tack welding.
Powered by a 3 HP pneumatic motor, the saw rigidly mounts onto a bracket that glides along a steel track on four V-grooved steel wheels and cuts
with ±1/8″ accuracy. The tracks come in 5′ to 15′ sections.
The ESCO APS-438 Air-Powered Saw and Quick-Clamp is available for sale and rent.
