Designed with versatility in mind, Black Jack and its two-meter frame fits through standard interior doorways and plugs into any 110V power supply, drawing less power than a toaster – only seven amps at top speed.  Black Jack moves air up to 36.5 meters, yet it’s so quiet it won’t drown out nearby conversations. The attractive, matte-black finish makes it perfect for events such as weddings, festivals and other outdoor events where comfort is necessary, style is appreciated and silence is golden. It’s also ideal for athletic facilities, construction sites and tight corners just about anywhere.  Arriving fully assembled, Black Jack is a plug-and-play air movement solution. Just roll it off the pallet, plug it in and cool down. Black Jack is also wet rated, so it can be hosed down for easy cleaning. The 10-foot power cord extends versatility and mobility while the gearless direct-drive motor keeps Black Jack quiet and energy efficient. It comes standard with indoor/outdoor wheels with rubber tread and the variable-speed controller offers fully adjustable airflow. Locking wheels keep Black Jack in place even at top speed.

Safer diamond blade
Booth 1119
stardiamondtools.com
 When looking for a diamond blade, contractors are usually looking for a mix of economy, production, and convenience. Star Diamond Tools has developed a blade that meets all those criteria, but also takes into account operator safety. The Cool Core combination blade features an exclusive steel core design that keeps the blade operating much cooler than other blades. When diamond blades overheat, they lose their tension, start to wobble and then jam in the cut. This can result in the blade breaking up or losing a segment, which then becomes a flying projectile. The exclusive Cool Core design dramatically increases the amount of air flow cooling the blade which significantly reduces its chance of overheating. The Cool Core combination blade also features a fast-cutting 15 mm high-alternating laser-welded turbo segment that will cut most construction materials such as concrete, asphalt, brick and block.
