Braxton Bragg - Installation Braces

Product Description: The I-Brace, I-Brace XL and the UpperBrace from Innotops and sold by Braxton-Bragg offer customers safety, aesthetic value and cost savings. These patent pending products install in just minutes, eliminate the need for corbels and wood supports on breakfast bars and can be kept in stock on either the install truck or in the shop.
High-priced corbels can be bulky and cause inadvertent injuries. Installers know that overhangs require support but not all customers do. Floating overhangs are both modern and timeless. Customers will be able to enjoy their installation longer and have greater resale value using floating supports than using corbels, which pose a safety hazard and also do not fit everyone’s style or decorative taste.
The I-Brace installs a breakfast bar or cantilevered island top and securely braces it in minutes, with no special hardware or tools required. All it takes is two to four I-Braces, a length of 2 x 4, a few inexpensive screws, construction adhesive, and you’re ready to set the island top in place.
Offer your customers a more securely braced breakfast bar with no return trip needed to install costly, old-fashioned — and potentially dangerous — corbels.
Watch the product demonstration on the Braxton-Bragg Web site. It’s the industry’s first animated video.

Product Description: Cyclone by Diamax is the first to fuse diamonds together to create a diamond-studded grinder that will never gum up. Cyclone calls it Diamond Cluster Technology (DCT) — a grinder that leaves a smooth finish where there was once fiberglass mesh and epoxy. Nothing will remove mesh faster or last longer.
DCT is also the perfect first step in the antiquing stone process. Cyclone DCT will remove the polish off the face of the stone faster with very small scratch patterns, thereby reducing the time needed in the antiquing process. Every shop in America needs to have at least one Cyclone DCT.

Omni Cubed — All-Terrain Installation Cart
|
| Click to enlarge |
Product Description: The Pro-Cart AT1 by Omni Cubed, Inc. provides a solution to the challenges associated with large and cumbersome countertop installation carts, and it can handle all terrains that an install might lead you through. Pneumatic casters dampen vibrations and enable travel across rough terrain such as gravel or lawns. Important for climbing stairs, the cart stays attached to the countertop when lifted, and the 8-inch casters allow resting on stair treads. The cart’s high ground-clearance allows “popping of wheelies” over larger curbs, and in many cases one person can operate the cart by themselves. Tops are secured by clamps located on each side of the cutout to reduce breakage in the middle. The wheelbase is wide enough to make the cart very stable, but still fits on truck ramps and enables maneuvering through very tight spaces. The cart is constructed from aluminum tubing, so it is strong and lightweight at less than 50 pounds. Two accessories are available for the Pro-Cart AT1: 1. Folding Kit (reduces cart width to only 9 inches for easy storage). 2 Multi-Top Accessory (uprights that enable transport of multiple smaller tops).
Pearl - Reactor Pro Blade

| Click to enlarge |
Product Description: Pearl Abrasive is proud to introduce the new and improved Reactor Pro blade with a huge, 25-mm diamond segment height. The new and improved Reactor Pro is an addition to the Reactor Series, which was developed using A.D.M.TM (Advanced Diamond Matrix) technology -- a process that replaces the random clustering of diamonds with an entirely new engineered diamond matrix. This advancement is comprised of two innovative processes: Layering Technology and Patterning Technology. This allows the travel speed of the saw to be increased without increasing amperage of the motor. In addition, the Reactor Pro cuts very fast, performs consistent from the first cut to the last, and the edge of the segments do not wear round due to the layering and patterning technology. The Reactor Pro is also designed to give the operator extended life.
Available in 14, 16 and 18 inches with a huge 25-mm segment, the Pearl Reactor Pro silent core blade is excellent for fast cutting of granite, engineered stone and other natural stone.

Product Description: The newest innovation in straight edge polishing is the 90-degree device polishing attachment from Marmoelettromeccanica. This system attaches easily to Master 3500s as well as other routers to convert them into a straight edge polisher. Using the polishing head attachment in combination with the router provides a straight and stable platform to achieve the perfect polish. It has an internal water feed and achieves the same results as full-size in-line polishers, and it utilizes a three-step pad system (optional fourth step) that works equally well on marble, granite and engineered stone.
Tri-Mer Corp. — New Filtration Concept
|
| Click to enlarge |
Product Description: Tri-Mer Corp. a technology company specializing in particulate control systems, has introduced Tri-Flow, a new filtration concept that delivers HEPA-level performance with a MERV 16 rating.
Tri-Flow Compact filters have a small footprint and an exceptionally large filter surface area: Tri-Flow Compact filters provide two to three times more filtration compared to similarly dimensioned bag (pocket) filters. An even greater increase in filtration area vs. volume is achieved in comparisons with sleeve-type high-efficiency filters.
The unique Tri-Flow design provides in-line pulse jet cleaning and maintains an exceptionally low operating pressure drop. Filter efficiencies of 99.999% on 0.5 micron and larger particles (by weight) are typical.
Tri-Flow Compact filters are self-supporting and are manufactured using proprietary filter media tailored to the application. There are seven media types, including a polyester felt with micro-porous surface, which is ideal for fine granular-type polishing or sanding dusts. All media is pleated and continuously bonded for maximum dimensional stability and filtration integrity. A rigid base molding protects the elements, and a resilient mounting flange provides a dust seal that prevents bypass.
Existing dust collectors can often be adapted to accommodate Tri-Flow Compact filters.
