Bosch Introduces New Dust Extraction System Bosch has introduced a new lineup of nine- and 14-gallon vacuums suitable for dust and dirt extraction on concrete surfacing, drilling, cutting and chipping jobs. The VAC090S and VAC090A nine-gallon vacuums and VAC140S and VAC140A 14-gallon vacuums have a suction power rating of 150 cubic feet of air per minute (CFM) and weigh 28 and 37 pounds respectively. Outfitted with an automatic filter cleaning mechanism, the VAC090A and VAC140A self-clean the flat pleated filter through a reverse airflow every 15 seconds. The VAC090S and VAC140S use a similar airflow cleaning process and include a module on the hose that allows the user to cut off suction and activate the filter cleaning with the push of a button. The vacuums also feature integrated cord and hose storage solutions, and a wet vacuuming water level sensor that protects the motor by automatically shutting down the device when water reaches a maximum height.

The W-60LS is the industry’s first loop saw with the capability to make both straight and circular cuts.

This feature allows the loop saw to make the straight cuts that connect the loops to each other, as well as the homerun cuts to the curb. The W-60LS can perform the same work that previously required two saws on site. As per Wolverine’s original loop saw, the two-way version has a 60-horsepower Kubota turbo-charged diesel engine that is water cooled. The W-60LS maintains a uniform depth of 3 or 5 inches over the entire 6-foot-diameter circular cut. It has a heavy duty frame and a blade capacity of 14 to 18 inches. Other features include a hydraulic raise and lower, a 14-inch blade guard included as standard and a hydraulic actuated pivoting plant.
