A new line of modular tooling systems for the COHOG split frame machine that feature a trip mechanism has been introduced by Esco Tool of Holliston, MA. The Esco COHOG Split Frame Machine features a range of bevel modules that bolt directly onto a tool slide and use two-sided TiN coated blade inserts to maximize the number of preps per blade. Tool slides are fixed in the carriage with a preset gib plate that eliminates side-to-side wobble for smooth chatter-free operation.

The Esco COHOG Split Frame Machine squares itself to the pipe with clamps and is available in eight sizes for pipe ranging from 2” to 48” O.D. Bevel modules include a primary parting module, secondary parting, 37.5o bevel, 30o bevel, 10 x 37.5o bevel, 10 x 30o bevel and the simple trip mechanism features a marked pin location that matches all tool slides. The Esco COHOG Split Frame Machine is priced from $14,995.00 up, depending upon size and is available for sale or rent.
