Tube Sheet Hole Prep Saves Time and Money

COVINGTON, KY - Saar Hartmetall USA provides a cost effective solution for edge
preparation of tube holes in tube sheet. The SKF portable milling tool is ideal for
cutting a chamfer up to 15mm or radius cuts up to 6mm in tube sheet holes.

“The machine’s design is much like a woodworking router utilizing depth control and
a guide bearing to prevent gouging allowing the operator to make a controlled cut,
accurately and comfortably, along a cutout or contour,” says David Schreiner, Saar
Hartmetall Product Line Manager for Beveling Tools.

The SKF Series is lightweight and durable, and operates with little or no chatter.
It utilizes indexable carbide inserts in various coatings and mills carbon steel,
stainless steel, alloy steel and aluminum. It is designed to mill contoured or
straight edges and cutouts and has adjustable depth control. The SKF can chamfer up
to 15 mm width and cuts radius edges from 2 mm to 6 mm. The SKF accepts mill heads
between 10o to 80o and is equipped with variable speed 110V motors of either 1.75 Hp
or 2.75 Hp.
