CS Unitec – AirForce F4
CS Unitec’s new AirForce F4 diamond saw chains have large diamond segments laser-welded to a steel chassis for faster cutting of a wide variety of masonry materials, reducing kickback and damage that other percussive methods can cause. Additionally, this feature allows the user to plunge-cut up to 20 inches and make perfectly square corners with no overcuts.
These chains feature an internal water distribution system for better lubrication between bar and chain and have 50 percent greater tensile strength for reduced breakage and longer life. Three chain styles are available: AirForce Premium saw chains cut concrete with heavy steel reinforcement; AirForce Standard is a general-purpose diamond chain for reinforced concrete; and AirForce AbrasivePro is ideal for cutting soft, abrasive material. The 10-inch chain has 25 segments for maximum cutting depth of 10 inches. The 15-inch chain has 29 segments for maximum cutting depth of 15 inches.

Virginia Abrasives – Tungsten Carbide Abrasive Disc
Virginia Abrasives’ new Tungsten Carbide Abrasive Disc is tough enough to tackle just about any concrete cleanup application. It grinds through paint, carpet and tile adhesive, epoxy coatings and carpet padding, and removes gummy coatings from all concrete surfaces.
Because the disc mounts to a rubber-faced sandpaper drive plate on a 17-rpm, 1 1/2-horsepower buffer with existing hardware, a simple switch-out creates a serious grinder. In addition, the disc is two-sided and cleanable.
