No Lift Install System

The award-winning No Lift Install System is a revolutionary device that is transforming the way 3 cm granite and quartz counters are installed. The benefit to the installer is that the cart does the injury-inducing lifts and rotations that shorten an installer’s career. Additionally, it eliminates the common practice of sending extra staff to help put heavy and awkward counters in place. The cart lifts the counters to cabinet height using a remote control, battery-powered actuator. The counters are rotated safely into the horizontal position with the pivoting support frame. This frame has “transfer balls” that enable the counter to be easily slid onto the cabinet. Labor-saving cranes, clamps and vacuum lifters have been available to fabricators for inside the shop for decades, and now, with the No Lift Install System, the same help is available for installers.

RouterBitsNow

RouterBitsNow.com’s mission statement is simple: to make the fabricator’s job easier. They offer three different bit drafts for sink finish shaping. For best results, select the correct bit angle, or draft, for whichever sink you are choosing to finish route. Most sinks can be finish routed with the 10-degree or 15-degree bits. There are a few sinks where the 20-degree bit will work best. Determine this by taking the draft of the sink and add 5 degrees. For example, if a sink is 5 degrees, then the 10-degree bit will work best. If a sink is 13 degrees, then the next best bit would be a 20-degree bit. If you had only a 15-degree bit, then the reduced bearing (.975 inch) would be a trick in a pinch. All bits come standard with a Delrin soft angle matched .995-inch bearing and will save time and money! Visit www.routerbitsnow.com for a full list of products and additional information.
