HYDMECH is cutting a path directly to their customers, exhibiting their full line of sawing equipment and accessories at FABTECH in the Las Vegas Convention Center this November.

The conference happening on November 16 to 18 is North America’s largest metal forming, fabricating, welding and finishing event.

“We’re excited to be able to showcase our wares at FABTECH alongside our peers in the industry,” says HYDMECH VP of Sales and Marketing Rick Arcaro. “This event is more than a trade show. It offers more than 100 learning sessions for business owners and leaders in the industry to push their business forward. We’re happy to help our colleagues and customers learn about our ever-expanding product line and how it can meet their needs.”

HYDMECH’s new carbide saws, developed for sale in 2016, are the latest examples of how the company is being proactive to deal with market demand. “Our heavy-duty carbide saw line offers more precise, reliable cutting tools for skilled manufacturers and workers to put to good use across America and around the world,” Arcaro says.

Just one of the new HYDMECH carbide saws can do the work of five conventional band saws, without sacrificing quality. The equipment comes with the same assurance of reliability and top-line support that HYDMECH customers have come to expect.

The carbide saws come in different sizes, including 65mm, 80mm, 100mm, 125mm, 150mm and 175mm, to meet the custom requirements of manufacturing operations. A color shift from dark gray to black bases shows off these saws’ leading-edge design.

Conference visitors and other HYDMECH customers will get a special promotion while the event is happening: 50% off saw options and 30% off standard material handling and accessories.
