Tulsa, Okla.
The Hilti DCH 300 Electric Diamond Cutter continues to set new standards in performance, safety and comfort, proving that cutting and grinding with an all-purpose tool isn’t the best choice for every application. With a 2.6 kilowatt motor, clever design and new cutting depth adjustment mechanism, customers are choosing the DCH 300 cutter because of its unrivalled reach and impressive cutting depth of 4.7 inches, beating competitive tools – conventional angle grinders – that both cut and grind but only reach depths of about 2.25 inches.

Flameless Indirect Fired Heaters
Wacker NeusonMenomonee Falls, Wis.
Wacker Neuson Climate Technology introduces the new HIF 690 flameless indirect-fired heaters for the 2013-2014 heating season. These Wacker Neuson heaters use a diesel engine to generate heat, so the flame is completely isolated from the surrounding environment. With Wacker Neuson flameless heater technology, cool ambient and/or recirculated air is drawn into the heater body and pulled through an exhaust heat exchanger and radiator, where it achieves significant heat gain. Air temperature increases further as it is drawn across the engine and heat plate.
