A pneumatic saw and track system that cuts concrete and rebar and provides an even cut all around without requiring the operator to support the weight of the saw has been introduced by Esco Tool of Holliston, Mass.

The Millhog APS-438 air-powered saw is designed to permit faster concrete pile cutting while minimizing operator fatigue because a steel WrapTrack System supports the saw, which is mounted onto a trolley that fits the track. Featuring a 14-inch fiberglass abrasive blade, this system provides a consistent cut around virtually any size piling to allow for a clean top separation.

Available in track sizes that can fit piles up to 72 inches in diameter, the Millhog APS-438 air-powered saw and WrapTrack provides an efficient way to score pilings and safely prepare them for trimming. Powered by a 3-HP pneumatic motor, the saw can cut up to 4-3/8 inches, requires 90 psi shop air @ 80 CFM, and has a safety relief valve that prevents running at excessive speed.

The Millhog APS-438 air-powered saw and WrapTrak system is priced from $6,795.00, depending upon the track size. It is also available for rental.
