The patented Multi-Prep tool holder has proven to be

effective in improving productivity and quality. It com-
bines multiple machining operations
into a single operation. With the Multi-
Prep you can accurately clean the
tube OD and remove membrane from
panel tubes, while performing an out-
side bevel on the tube end.

APPLICATIONS
The Boiler Guns are used by these industries Typical Applications
• Power Generation • Oil Refineries • Boiler tube repair
• Fossil-Fuel Power Stations • Ship Yards • Stud removal
• Gas Turbine Power Plants • Water and Wastewater Treatment • Pipe lines
