The business side of woodworking
When connected to a single stage dust collector, the Super Dust Deputy attachment line from Oneida Air will eliminate filter clogging and suction loss by removing 99 percent of dust and debris from the incoming air stream before it reaches the fan blower.
Features of the dust collector line include:
The one-piece SC 8/25 spreading connector from Hafele is suitable for small furniture items, which can be transported pre-assembled.
With speedy and toolless installation, the company says, the finished product is invisible after assembly.
The connector is inserted into an 8 mm hole and furniture components are then pushed together manually.
Both connector parts spread themselves simultaneously in the hole and are said to create a lasting structural connection inside the furniture body.
The TID 18 cordless impact driver from Festool has a compact, ergonomic design and a standard ¼-in. quick-release chuck.
An EC TEC brushless motor provides 1,593 in-lb. of torque into three speed settings.
The additional T-Mode feature is said to prevent overtightening. Next to the Basic version there is also as a Set version that includes two of the new Li-HighPower 4.0 HPC-ASI 18 V battery packs and a belt clip.
A kickback-free hammer mechanism drives the fastener rather than spinning the drill around the screw to protect the user’s wrist.
The T-Mode detects the transition between sheet metal and wood and automatically adapts the speed. With Li-ion battery, units weigh 3.3 lb.
Wood feature walls from Goodwin Company are offered in river-recovered heart cypress for both residential and commercial spaces.
The ease of installation and maintenance is said to be attractive to both homeowners and building design professionals.
The wood is 100 percent heart, 100 percent dense growth and has subtle, graceful swirling grain with a blend of vertical and feathery patterns, the company says.
It can include some pecky areas, face checks, knots of any size and a good bit of colour variation from warm honey through cinnamon tan to light chocolate tones.
With the patented Flexpro function, the new Omnidry range of vertical ovens from Cefla provide a passage height that can be automatically varied on the basis of piece height.
The range is not only suitable for very high output lines, but also for robotic application lines, where greater flexibility is required, the company says.
The oven series is said to maintain all the characteristics of the company’s standard vertical oven, since it can carry out flash off, drying and cooling all-in-one (even for paints that need longer drying times), while minimizing the use of floor space.
The ovens can be equipped with a roller conveyor system combined with “rack” trays for piece collection and cyclic transportation inside the oven, or with conveyor belt systems, combined with motor-operated “belt” trays.
Units can also be expanded with an additional 2, 3 or 4 sections.
