From a bird’s eye view, the CT160 and CT260 have an hourglass profile, giving operators clear sight of the drum edges. On the control panels, work modes are easy to understand, and the switches create positive tactile feedback even with gloved hands. Anti-vibration mounts reduce operator fatigue, and both machines feature three simple vibration settings. For more, visit www.jcb.com.
EDCO
Diamond Drum for Crete-Planer
The Edco Diamond Drum completes projects three to four times faster than a standard carbide drum when using an Edco Crete-Planer. It is designed to plow off high-build epoxy and cementitious/epoxy materials and leave a perfect profile for recoating or polishing. The polycrystalline diamond (PCD) on the drum is the hardest artificial substance in the world and has excellent wear resistance. When used on resurfacing projects, these drums leave a much smoother finish in one step, resulting in a CSP profile of a 1-2 in a single pass. The Diamond Drum is also much more durable than typical carbide drum, lasting 15 times longer. For more, visit www.edcoinc.com.
