PRODUCTS Joining assembled parts securely Striplox is used on solid timber, MDF, composite panels, aluminium features, all wood types and more. It’s a simple, important and yet often overlooked engineering fact that to create anything man-made you must join things together. The joining of materials creates everything that we depend on in our daily lives including products, machines, buildings, cars, aeroplanes, bridges, large civil structures, mining and excavation equipment, pipes, computers and technology, medical innovations, water and storage solutions to name a few. Striplox patented technologies are proven cutting edge engineering solutions that make the simple, yet highly imperative task of joining perfection every time. Joining innovations are embedded in the technology, products and processes of leading-edge multinational companies on a global basis saving million, in reductions on labour and costs. +27 (0) 11 314 7711 | www.joinlox.com/striplox Cordless freehand cutting system The new Festool DSC-AGC 18 FH cordless freehand cutting system makes it possible for dust-free cutting of mineral-based materials on the construction site. The core of the new DSC-AGC 18 FH is the brushless, and therefore maintenance-free, EC-TEC motor. It sits in a completely closed motor housing, which prevents dust from getting into the engine block. The intelligent control electronics are also enclosed in a sealed housing to prevent the ingress of dust. The motor boasts a smooth start-up function and features an additional electronic overload protection. The restart protection, digital temperature monitoring and motor brake make the machine even safer and more durable. The speed of the DSC-AGC 18 FH can be continuously adjusted from 4 500 to 8 500 revolutions per minute. To keep the vibrations to a minimum for the user, the motor and housing have been uncoupled from each other. Smart details that help the DSC-AGC 18 FH to achieve extremely high levels of robustness and durability. +27 (0) 11 314 7711 | www.festool.co.za www.timberiq.co.za // FEBRUARY / MARCH 2020 47
