ESCO Tool (www.escotool.com) has developed a chain-mount bracket that attaches its universal air-powered saw to pipe and bar stock quickly for applications that require multiple cuts in the shop or on the job site.

Esco said its Single Cut Bracket securely clamps its APS-438 Air Powered Saw to a pipe or to bar stock up to 4-in. O.D. and allows the saw to make square cuts with ±0.0625-in. accuracy.

Operating on 90 psi air, the saw has a 3 hp motor, includes a standard grease fitting, safety throttle handle and relief valve, and uses 10-in. or 12-in. fiberglass reinforced abrasive blades.

Suitable for fabrication shops and fit-up work at job sites, the Esco Single Cut Bracket combined with the APS-438 Air Powered Saw creates a chop-off saw that is superior to reciprocating hack saws, claims the firm.

The fiberglass reinforced blades can cut stainless steel, Inconel, and other hard materials. Other brackets are available for structures with outside diameters to 60 in.
