Circular Cold Saws cut steel without leaving burrs.

Saws use various levels of automation, from mechanical stops to Allen Bradley CNC controls. All models have 2 self-centering, infeed vises for length control. Cut length is controlled by positive micrometer adjusted mechanical stop or servo motor. All models are available with spindles for cutting steel or non-ferrous materials. Material is clamped on both sides of cut to eliminate hanging burrs.

Production Taps have excellent abrasion resistance.

MX Series DIN overall length production taps are made from premium PM material for toughness and wear resistance, which results in long tap life and core and edge strength. MX Series is available with TiCN coating. Coolant feeding styles permit rapid chip evacuation. Type MXP Spiral Point taps suit through-hole tapping; type MXL Spiral Flute taps suit blind hole work.

Basalt America Announces Stronger, Lighter, and Corrosion-Free FRP's (Fiber Reinforced Polymers)

Fiber Reinforced Polymers (FRP), represents a truly groundbreaking advancement in structural reinforcement. Lightweight, strong, and green, they are changing the way the construction industry thinks about rebar. Unlike steel, FRPs don't rust and are far stronger than standard rebar. To learn why Fiber Reinforced Polymers are poised to change the way the world builds, see our video.
