Husqvarna Construction Products has introduced a high-cycle wall saw and a new line of silent core blades.
The WS 440 HF high-cycle wall saw is light and flexible, but also powerful. It is based on new technology that gives the user increased possibilities for fast and efficient sawing. The powerful, water-cooled electric motor generates a total of 17 horsepower to the shaft, despite the fact that the saw only weights 55 pounds. The bladeshaft speed is electrically adjustable and can be operated with remote control. Other features include a short distance between blade and track for a straighter cut.
Husqvarna’s F4000E series of silent core blades for wet cutting of cured concrete were developed to mimic the low noise level an electric saw produces, keeping the entire operation at the lowest sound level possible. The blades include steel cores made with “sandwich” technology that prevents harmonics in vibrations, specifically the high pitch/frequency range, resulting in a noise level drop of 7 to 10 decibels. Designed for medium-to-high horsepower saws, these blades come in three grades of bond hardness.
In packaging news, Husqvarna has debuted a new coding system that takes the guesswork out of blade selection. Five core colors and four silkscreen colors are used on blades that are 12 inches to 20 inches in diameter. The diamond blade core color represents the material to be cut, while the blade silkscreen color is specific to the level of the blade.
