| New Hilti angle grinders The first angle grinders equipped with Hilti's unique Smart Power system and Active Torque Control, ATC, the new 5-inch DEG 500-D, and 6-inch DEG 600-D and DEG 600-P provide virtually unrivaled power and control. For high performance, the DEG 500-D, 600-D and 600-P feature Smart Power, which maintains a constant level of grinding speed for less wear and tear on the 1400 watt motor. A low-profile gear case provides better access in tight areas and, if power is interrupted, a restart interlock helps prevent accidental starts. For added operator protection, the ATC function interrupts the electrical current into the tool in a fraction of a second to reduce unwanted kickback if a sticking disk causes the tool body to move too quickly. The DEG 500-D, 600-D and 600-P also feature a side handle with a soft grip, which absorbs 30 percent of the vibration, as well as a multi-finger two-position switch and slim, easy-to-grip 'rat tail' design for improved comfort and handling. Hilti also offers a complete selection of diamond blades, cup wheels, abrasives and wire brushes suited for most cutting, grinding and finishing applications on concrete, masonry and metal base materials. Hilti is a manufacturer and supplier of quality, innovative and specialized tools and fastening systems for the professional user. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Construction News :: home page |
