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.
Spectators Gather to Watch Apprentice Contest
Numerous spectators got a rewarding lesson in building with brick when they watched the annual bricklayer apprentice contest sponsored recently by the Oregon Masonry Guild in Portland. The event was staged at the Eastport Plaza Shopping Center.
Even the weatherman helped out. Oregon's unpredictable climate provided a sunny, pleasant day for the 13 contestants and for the many spectators who gathered to watch the action. TV station KCW was also on hand to cover the event.
This year's winners, who will go on to represent Oregon in the Northwest Regional Contest this fall, were: Bill Basaraba and Ken Parker, who took first place; William Wayne Terry and L.C. Pardue, second; Ken Williams and Al Griffin, third, and Mark Zetter and Peter Anrusko, fourth.
