Coverings, celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, remains the biggest destination for tile and stone installation tools and accessories in the U.S. Here are some of the newest installation products we’ve seen during the show so far:
Alpha Professional Tools. Travis Adams, outside sales representative, discussed his company’s newest pneumatic tools: the AIR-830 and AIR-850 polishers, and PSC-600 pneumatic cutter. “The AIR-830 runs at 4,000 rpm and AIR-850 at 5,000 rpm. New features include a silicone boot, quick disconnect water feature and the ability to put in lubricating oil without turning off the air. The PSC-600 runs at 8,600 rpm and the spindle is designed so the water comes out directly at the point of contact when you’re cutting.”
