SAMES KREMLIN Inc. would like to announce the release of the new Xcite™ Light Airmix® Manual Spray Gun.  The Xcite™ Light Airmix® Manual spray gun is available in two models:  60 bar (870 psi) and 120 bar (1740 psi).  The new Xcite Light delivers the same proven quality, reliability, and components as the Xcite™ manual spray gun.  The Xcite™ Light Airmix® Manual spray gun is a simple and reliable spray gun for large and small production facilities requiring a high repeatable finish quality and transfer efficiency.

• Excellent Airmix® Finish Quality

SAMES KREMLIN created Airmix® in 1975.  Airmix® is an intermediate spraying technology that combines the finish quality of Airspray with the productivity of Airless and is the industrial standard for medium pressure atomization today.

• High Transfer Efficiency:  up to 86%

The quality of atomization with fine paint particle speed as low as possible, eliminates excessive overspray and material wastes.  The result is low bounce back effect and low overspray reaching high transfer efficiency up to 86%.

• Designed to Access Recessed Areas of Parts

When used with the optional whip hose, Xcite™ Light Airmix® spray gun is more    compact and flexible making it easier to spray into complex shaped parts or very recessed areas of parts.
 
 
In 1975 SAMES KREMLIN industrialized the first Airmix® spray gun in the world and is further developing the range for more applications.   Due to many decades of experience, SAMES KREMLIN continues to develop new products for our valued customers and their many application needs.

Weinig Holz-Her USA has released their newest Tooling & Supplies Catalog.

The 21st edition of Weinig’s Tooling Catalog features a large number of new parts along with the Weinig SERVOLock, a compact tool revolutionizing how operators change cutterheads on moulders. Ranging from cross-cut blades to feed wheels to grinding wheels, the catalog covers tooling and supplies for virtually every Weinig machine.

“We started this tooling program three decades ago because we knew that our tooling and supplies are designed and engineered to bring out the best performance of our machines.”  Rick Earp Tooling Manager said “We have an entire team that is dedicated to cataloging the best tooling solutions. This newest catalog is just an extension of our promise of excellence to our customers.”

The catalog’s most expansive section features Weinig’s array of cutterheads, including PowerLock cutterheads. PowerLock is Weinig’s moulder tooling with Hollow Taper Shank (HSK) locking which enables quick changeover and stronger than ever clamping force.

With the new catalog, Weinig has also released new pricing on many of their parts. “While the quality and specs of our corrugated cutterheads have stayed the same, we have been able to dramatically improve pricing on these pieces in particular” Earp stated.

Following the sale of McFeely’s Inc. assets this past summer, new management started an immediate review of all strategic business relationships and vendors. During this time, the new private ownership has brought back discontinued items, replenished inventories, lowered many prices, and made investments in technologies to improve customer service, security, and vendor relations. “We work with many stakeholders, we want to cultivate relationships based on fairness and honesty.” says the new owner, Tim Grote.

With an inventory list of more than 13,000 items, the new McFeely's provides a lot more than fasteners & power tools. We have a knowledgeable sales team ready to answer or look up any product question. McFeely's was one of the first dealers in the USA of Festool products. McFeely's helped Festool establish a US presence. We are committed to following our heritage while focusing on the future. Our established relationships with leading manufacturers has fostered growth and helps us service our clients. Festool makes quality products. We find our business philosophies are headed in different directions when it comes to defining partnerships, customers, and relationships. As a result, we have had no choice but to sever business ties with them effect immediately.

Our current Festool inventory has a McFeely’s inventory label.   Some of these items are more than 15 years old. We are inspecting our inventory and it is all in the original packaging, almost all of which have never been opened; factory fresh devices and supplies. We think value is created with quality products, education, and innovation. We assume Festool feels the same about value but we have only had limited conversations with them. We have a limited selection available today, based our past inventory levels.

Learn more about McFeelys:  https://www.mcfeelys.com/about-us   

McFeely’s new strategic direction has a bright future. We are actively looking for a new high quality wood working tool line that is under distributed, or not distributed currently in the USA. Interested vendors can contact us at our headquarters. We are going to be moving out our existing inventory of Festool items at attractive prices, while continuing to service clients with other products.
