RUGGED MASONRY SAWS FROM FELKER

Complete line of saws, diamond and abrasive blades, diamond core drills and drilling machines for the professional mason.

Felker saws are built to last; rugged construction with heavier castings and welds gives you longer on-the-job life.

The HEAVY-DUTY FELKER ROTO-SET MASONRY SAW has a free moving cutting head to accommodate large masonry or refractory shapes. The open throat design swallows any work piece up to 20" wide.

The FELKER ECONOMATIC MASONRY SAW features a specially designed blade cushion that spring-protects the blade against sudden shocks. Automatically provides correct cutting pressure regardless of material hardness.

The FELKER TOUCHMATIC® MASONRY SAW-for those hard-to-get-at jobs. So light and compact, it goes with you inside the tank or kiln, up on the scaffold. A truly portable saw.

Diamond and abrasive blades, the industry standard preferred by professional masons the world-over, are available in any required specification for any job application.

Write for full information on the most complete line of saws and accessories to solve your toughest cutting jobs.
