CUTTING IS NOISY
BUT IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE!
NORTON lipper

Reduce Work Site Noise to Your Surroundings
with the Norton Silencio Diamond Blade

As the operator, you can wear hearing protection. Co-workers and people in nearby residences, schools and hospitals usually aren't prepared. With the new Norton Silencio diamond blade's patent-pending design that combines a sandwich steel center and offset gullets, noise levels are reduced by up to 15 db(A) vs. standard blades of only 3 db(A). Add the fact that we've also put a tall 590' laser-welded segment on it, you also get the best cutting speed and product life.

Call us at (254) 918-2310 to find out how Norton can help you, or visit us online at www.nortonconstructionproducts.com
