Pneumatic Saw and Clamp Cuts Thick Steel Plate On-Site
February 1, 2025
A pneumatic saw and clamp set-up that produces a stress-free cut on thick steel plate without a heat affected zone (HAZ) typically caused by torch cutting has been introduced by Esco Tool.
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. 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.
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.
