Building Industry, May 2010

Shining Example

Hilti Equidist diamond blades were specifically designed for the new line of Hilti DSH gas saws (featured in last month’s New Products). Hilti says the Equidist diamond blades offer exceptional cutting speeds and long life giving the user high productivity in most general purpose concrete, and masonry applications. According to the company, the blades are engineered with high-quality industrial-grade diamonds and quality-controlled bonded matrixes, which provide superior cutting performance. Hilti Equidist diamond blades can be purchased at the Hilti store in Honolulu. Call 845-9664.

Cuts Both Ways

The new AS170 brick and mortar saw by Arbortech offers extreme levels of precision, accuracy and control and safety. Its patented cutting technology uses a unique orbital cutting motion with two forward facing blades that combine to perform both a hammering and a cutting action that gives the user clear visibility and the ability to accurately cut square and deep. According to the company, the AS170 saw has a cutting depth of 4-3/4 inches and a cutting width of 1/4 inch. The saw features a powerful, 13-amp motor constructed with a dust-resistant, heavy-duty design to ensure long motor life in the toughest environments.
