Apparatus for removing pressure tubes

A tool for milling the inside surface of the wall of a tubular member at a position intermediate the ends of said tubular member, said tool comprising;

• a tubular mounting sleeve adapted to be closely received in and fixed to one end of said tubular member;
• an elongated cylindrical body having a proximal end and distal end, said proximal end disposed within said mounting sleeve for longitudinal and rotational movement with respect thereto;
• positioning means fixed to said mounting sleeve for adjusting the longitudinal and rotational positions of said elongated cylindrical body with respect to said mounting sleeve;
• centering mechanism located within said cylindrical body at said distal end for positioning said body in spaced relation within said tubular member;
• a milling head located within said cylindrical body intermediate said proximal and distal ends, said milling head comprising a cutting member adapted to be moved from a first position within said cylindrical body to a second-position projecting through an opening in said cylindrical body for engagement with the inside surface of the wall of said tubular member;
• depth of cut control means located at said proximal end for controlling movement of said cutting member between said first and second positions.
