Elliott's EP443010 Tube Auger (End Prep Tool) is the best way to face, chamfer, profile, and trim tubes in firetube and watertube boilers.

The unique ratchet feed handle allows the operator to use the tool in tight spaces and provides accurate feed control of the cutter. The large gripping segments provide the tool a tight, positive position inside the tube and hold the tool firmly during the toughest cutting conditions. The 1-1/2” (38.1mm) feed travel of the unit allows plenty of cutting space without the need to reposition the unit. The powerful pneumatic motor makes for fast thick tube wall work. The slim profile design allows machining in 2” (50.0mm) tube and larger water wall applications with the optional 2” (50mm) cutter holder.

The cutter blades are made from high alloy tool steel and are then special coated to provide up to three times the life of other high speed blades. The unique spring bands are superior in the retention of the gripping segments over rubber O-Rings or spiral wound springs.
