We will have to see whether this kind of technical leadership converts into swift mass-market adoption or not.
SOUTHWICK, MA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 02/21/05 -- If the tools used to build the New American
Castle were available in medieval times, the King and Queen would have had
their Castles built in record time. Kim Baker, general contractor and
owner of the New American Castle, is using an array of high-quality tools
and equipment for construction of this luxury show home.
The ICS® 613GC Model Concrete Saw made it easy to cut through the thick
concrete foundation of the Castle. This saw is capable of plunge cutting
to twelve inches and will cut a square opening with no over-cuts in
material as thick as ten inches.
Remington's Semi-Automatic PowerPro, by DESA Specialty Products, was used
for attaching steel to steel, wood to steel, steel to concrete and wood to
concrete.
Metabo's assortment of power tools satisfy the most stringent demands of
the Castle building team. Saws, Rotary Hammers, Grinders, Sanders, Drills,
Polishers & Planers are being used throughout construction.
Miller Electric's rugged MIG Welder has been instrumental since the
beginning of the project. From the exterior balcony to the interior spiral
stairs, their MIG Welder provided superior performance for the contractor's
demanding welding requirements.
The bending and installation of the copper was efficient thanks to Tapco's
professional brake system. This innovative, professional equipment was
fast, strong with positive clamping.
Another innovative company, Telpro, develops ergonomical tools to assist
professionals and do-it-yourselfers. Their equipment includes the
PanelLift Drywall Lifter, Tele-Tower Work Platform and the GilLift Cabinet
Lifter.
Delta Machinery's 10" Unisaw #36-L51 and 20" Production Drill Press
#70-220 with "full-power" drive system are indispensable and have been
instrumental throughout the project.
Porter Cable's 80-gallon air tank supports heavy duty, continuous
multi-tool usage and the JOB BOSS air compressors provide commercial users
increased mobility and portability. The lock mortiser & boring jig was a
time saver for the contractor on the door installation.
The tile contractor used the Nattco WAR82H & MK Diamond MK-212 tile cutters
& wet saws. Nattco offers a full line of ceramic tile tools for both
professionals and home use. MK Diamond's MK-212 wet cutting tile saw
allows for precision cutting of the 30" diagonals in large tile designs.
Campbell-Hausfeld & Airlessco's paint systems achieve superior results for
paint and thicker adhesives and paint products.
