A new quick-clamp assembly that can be used for straight-cutting panels, steel plate and any flat material up to 4” deep, without tack welding tabs and hot spots, is being introduced by ESCO Tool of Medfield, Massachusetts.

The PanelHOG® Quick-Clamp Assembly features wedge-style clamps and a track that comes in 5 to 15 ft. sections and accepts the APS-438 Air Powered Saw for making perfectly straight cuts without tack welding tabs and hot spots. Providing a cut-line indicator gauge to simplify setup and alignment, the rigid clamping bracket can easily be adjusted for all types of boiler tube panel sections and the saw can cut highly alloyed materials up to 4” thick.

Permitting clean, straight cuts with no rework prior to end prepping, the APS-438 Air Powered Saw operates on 90 psi air, features a 3 HP pneumatic motor, and uses fiberglass reinforced cutting blades. The PanelHOG® Quick-Clamp Assembly has a 2” W steel track, a bracket for mounting the saw which has four grooved steel wheels, and glides effortlessly along the track.

The PanelHOG® Quick-Clamp Assembly is priced from $ 750.00(list), depending upon length and the APS-438 Air Powered Saw sells for $4,995.00 and is available for rent in the continental USA.
