Busy Bee
Tools is announcing a new line of router bits, shaper
cutters, and accessories that feature industrial grade
qualities.
Starting from a full steel body, these extremely hard body bits
(HV/HRC – 1660/920) are CNC machined & feature thicker carbide
than standard Asian bits. A Super Micro-Grain C3 Tungsten
Carbide is used on every cutter. The bits also feature a new
Automotive Semi-Transparent Anti-Stick Powder Coat Finish for
smooth passes and an attractive finish. Perfect shear angles and
full body anti-kickback design along with smooth full brazing
make these industrial bits perfect for heavy loads.
Launching Christmas 2007 with a massive bit selection, orders
will include free shipping anywhere in Canada. The bits are
backed by a Life-Time Warranty. |

| Tormek Introduces New T-7 Sharpening
System |
Truing & Dressing Wheel |
The new
Tormek T-7
improves the accuracy and safety in edge tool sharpening thanks
to two new innovations, a Square Edge Jig and a Truing and
Dressing Tool with screw feed.
The Square Edge jig enables the user to repeatedly grind chisels
and blades square, without any adjustments. This is achieved
because the jig automatically aligns the chisel to its flat,
machined face. It clamps short and tapered tools firmly and
accepts blades up to 76 mm or 3" width. It also has safety
stops, which prevent the tool from slipping off the stone, which
can hurt your fingers.
The Truing and Dressing Tool has a unique screw feed that
enables the user to keep the stone in perfect condition, which
is essential for a perfectly sharpened edge.
A seven year warranty applies to all customers including
industrial users. This is possible due to the improved coating
of the housing, stainless steel main shaft and a powerful,
industrial AC motor, which is designed for continuous operation.
The T-7 Sharpening System will sell for $499.99 at
Advanced Machinery,
Langevin
& Forest, and
Big Bear
Tools. |

| Forests Seen as Important in Fighting
Climate Change |
|
The August 2007 issue of
Science
sheds light on the importance of global forests as a key
component in balancing carbon dioxide in the air, and reducing
the effects of climate change.
In their article 'Carbon Mitigation by Biofuels or by Saving and
Restoring Forests?', authors Renton Righelato and Dominick V.
Spracklen, from the
World
Land Trust, compare emissions from various fuel crops versus
carbon storage in natural ecosystems. They write that
"forestation of an equivalent area of land would sequester two
to nine times more carbon over a 30-year period than the
emissions avoided by the use of the biofuel."
Whether or not you concur with the premise of global warming,
there can be little doubt that forests are a significant,
important and crucial element in a healthy planet.
