For precision work
Stanley is offering a new series of automatic cross beam and dot laser levels for accurate levelling, aligning and angle measurement during interior and finishing work. With their high-quality lens, magnetic damping compensator and robust finish, these layout tools enable users to successfully complete levelling jobs even under difficult conditions. The range includes the “CL2 Minikreuzlaser” for all levelling jobs and the CL90, an automatic cross beam laser with a 90 degree vertical plumb beam.

Automatic mitre cutting
“Anglefix” allows you to set the right angle with no measurements or calculations. Once you have set the tool to the angle you want, the rotating indicator flag automatically divides the angle by two. Then the tool is positioned with its longer side parallel to the workpiece, and the saw is lined up with the indicator flag that gives the precise mitre angle. Anglefix is made of glassfibre-reinforced nylon with an indicator flag of electro-galvanised and blue-chromated metal.

With blower function
Bosch is introducing two new jigsaw models to the marketplace: the PST 650 and the PST 680 E. New here is the blower function, which allows the user to blow away the sawdust for a better view of the cutting progress at the touch of a button. The blade depot located in the base of the machine can store up to four standard jigsaw blades at a time. The PST 680 E offers an additional function: its electronic system allows the DIYer to use the throttle to adjust the stroke rate and consequently alter the speed of the saw.

Material of a new quality
NMC has extended the Decoflair range of products by the addition of five more versatile designs to its line of patterned ceiling mouldings made out of EPS-Skin. New here are not only the ornamentation but the material as well. The surface of these mouldings has been made considerably smoother by increasing the density of the material. The manufacturer maintains that the company’s new production process results in the creation of a finish which is comparable to that of polyurethane mouldings.
