NEW!! CAT power tools

What happens here

Ian Clarke, CEO of C6 Diamond (CAT's licensee for diamond products), showcases CAT's extensive range of diamond blades and grinders. The range is structured across seven performance grades, with color-coded packaging and specific numbering for easy identification. The 100-200 series (light grey) is for retail, while the 400 Pro series (general purpose, laser welded) and 600 Pro series (hard materials, ultra-long life) are for professional users. The 800 Expert series offers extreme life for the toughest applications. They also offer 18-inch blades and core drills. A video comparison demonstrates the CAT MUT5 blade cutting an 8-inch ductile iron pipe in 46 seconds (lasting over 500 pipes) versus a bonded abrasive competitor taking up to 12 minutes (lasting only 2 pipes). Ian emphasizes that this translates to significant time and cost savings for professionals. He also highlights a unique 'undercut protection segment' design that prevents erosion and segment loss, improving safety and durability compared to abrasive blades which can shatter.

Goal: Showcase CAT's range of diamond blades and grinders, emphasizing their performance, durability, and safety features.

What they say

Hide

grinders, and blades. All right, guys. We're not done with Cat. I got Ian. Ian uh Ian Clark the CEO of uh C6 Diamond with a licency of Caterpillar Diamond products globally. Okay. So walk me through what are we seeing here? What are you guys offering? Okay. Basically what we've done is developed um my colleagues have many years of expertise in the diamond industry and we've developed a range across seven different performance grades from the 100200 series which you see are colorcoded light gray and they're actually numbered as well specifically for clear identification. Um this range the 100 and 200 series is probably best suited for retail as such uh you know in the uh big sheds what we call them. Um going up to a more professional user you'll see it's labeled 400 pro. This is for instance a laser welded range and the boxing is colorcoded and the applications are colorcoded. Also all the actual segments have been designed over the last 3 years um specifically to cut um different types of aggregates um across a series of uh aggregates what are available in the US. So these are your diamond wheels. Do you have grinders as well? We do have grinders. Yes. Okay. So you've got grinder wheels. So if if you have a grinder range of grinders, these here are pretty much retail quality 300 series. And then we go up into the expert level for the people who are doing the floor prep, etc. Um across a range of uh different sizes and different harbor fitting types as well. And you even go up to 18in blades. We do. And are these all the blades that you offer? We do 165 SKUs currently and later on this year we're actually going to be going into the larger diameter products and core drills as well. So if a guy's going to buy CAT tools, can they find your blades and bits at the same place? Exactly. Yes. Okay. For sure. Very good. And is there anything else you want to tell us about these? Yeah. Basically here the MUT which is this yellow one which cuts steel pipe. So, I'll show you a video around the corner of it against competitor. So, we're going to see a video of that. You're going to watch a video on a video. We're breaking the fourth wall, you guys. It's going to happen right now. Sit down, eat your popcorn. Be prepared to be amazed as the wall. So, it's in the 600 Pro range. It's this blade just here. The MUT. Okay. You see that one? And here you can see on the left is our blade, which is the MUT. Cuts a pipe in 46 seconds. And the competitor is 12 minutes. Is that is…
