Bestwqll Developes

New Joint System Tope

Bestwall Gypsum Company, manufacturer of gypsum building products, has announced the development of a new joint system tape called Embossed Tape for use in drywall constructlon.

Available nationally, a primary aclvantage of the new tape is that it can remain stable under varying humidity conditions, thus reducing uneven expansion and edge wrinkling which are contributing factors in edge crack- ing of finished walls and ceilings.

Based on an entirely different cor.rcept of porosity witfiout holes, the ne.w tape is center embossed to per- rnit air_ flow through the roll of tipe, and edge embossed to take up the stretch in the skiving operation.

New Delta 18" Ploner Feqlures Seporote Feed ond Wedge Bed

Wedge bed construction, combining accuracy with easy adjustment, and a separate feed drive motor are featured on a new l8-inch planer introduced by Rockwell Manufacturing Company's Delta Power Tool Division.

In addition to increasing accuracy and simplifying adjustment, rvedge bed construction provides greater work support than conventional raising screws. The incline ways directing the even rise of the bed are supported by a large area of solid metal that serves as a compression member, eliminating bending or tension strain on any part.

The nerv unit handles stock up to 18 inches wide and from tf-inch to 6 inches thick. Depth of cut is limited to tl-inch as a safety factor to eliminate any possibility of an operator's fingers being caught between the girt and stock being fed.

The planer is available in belt drive and direct drive models operating at 3450 rpm with a choice of 3-, 5- and 7%-hp motors. Price of the basic machine is $680, F. O. B. tactory.

Plywood Fqbricotors Introduces New Plywood Siding Poifern

. A new plywood siding pattern which has been in the development_ stage_ fo_r _more than a year was recently unveiled by Plywood l'abricators of Redwood Valley.'Cali- fornia. The new product, which was developed by ieteran plywood man Ted Stolesen, is called Plank-Sawn.

Stolesen, who is president of Plywood Fabricators, notes that Plank-Sawn differs from other exterior plywood siditlg.- by _simulating a resawn board and batf ippearance. With other plywood siding panels it is still neiissary to nail battens to the panels after they are erected, Stollsen polnts out.

Plank-Sawn is manufactured with 8,,, 12,,. or random width "boards" and the panel itself is generallv manufactured in either /s" or y's" thicknesses. l{owever. in cases rvhere 2.4.1 panels are used in two story construction the Plank-Sawn process could serve an additional use and p.rovide an attractive board and batt effect on the ceiling of the ground floor.

Stolesen, rvho has long been active in the development of new manufacturing methods to promote broader markets for plywood and plywood specialties, estimates that Plank-Sawn will be in full production and available to iobbers within the next 30-45 davs.
