Saw and Track System Cuts Any Size Tank, Vessel or Pipe
An air-powered saw and flexible track system that can be assembled to fit any size storage tank, vessel, or pipe to provide perfectly square cuts with no heat affected zone is available from ESCO Tool of Medfield, MA.
The Esco APS-438 Air-Powered Saw and FlexTrack® system features track sections that fit together to create a secure system that can be mounted to any size tank or pipe from 6 ft. dia. up using tack welds. Gliding along the track system on a trolley with 4 V" grooved stainless steel roll guides, the saw is fully supported to minimize fatigue and produces square and accurate cuts within ±1/16" with no heat affected zone (HAZ).
Expandable to fit any tank, the Esco FlexTrack® system is infinitely adjustable and the APS-438 Air-Powered Saw has a 3 HP motor with a rigid mounting trolley, and operates on 90 psi @ 80 CFM. Cutting blades offered include a diamond tipped steel to minimize sparks and fiberglass reinforced abrasive in 8", 10", and 12" dia. sizes. Applications include servicing tank farms and fabricators of metal tanks, vessels, and pipes.
The Esco APS-438 Saw sells for $4,995.00 (list) or can be rented and the FlexTrack® system is priced from $125.00 per ft., depending upon length.

Will this thing cut stainless steel? I've got a big stainless steel tank that I have to cut a hole in and this thing sounds like it would be perfect for the task
I received an e-mail from them and it will cut stainless as well as metals with high chrome content. I also received some information about a similiar product they manufacture which cuts boiler tubes. This thing looks pretty slick. You just weld the track to the wall of tubes and it cuts through them with no hassle.
