Hougen Manufacturing Inc./Trak-Star introduces the RB35 gas-powered rail drill and the new Carbide Tipped Twister BitsTM. The new rail drill turns at a higher RPM, "thus fully taking advantage of the carbide tooling for dramatically increased tool life," the company says. Engineered to enhance drilling speed, refine ergonomics and improve ease of operation, the RB35 features a four-stroke Honda engine, a centrifugal clutch for idle and overload protection, built-in preventative maintenance protections, a quill feed spindle, a 0-point clamping system and a short-stroke feed mechanism with an extended-length feed handle. The RB35 uses the new Carbide Twister Bit Rail Cutters, which are available in sizes from ¾-inch to 1-11/16 inches and 19mm to 36mm. The cutters feature brazed-in carbide tips, which offer up to 2-1/2 times the tool life in both standard and extremely hard rail when compared to HSS rail cutters, the company says. They also include the twist-in/twist-out mating shank that allows cutter changeovers to be completed in seconds and without requiring tools. The Hougen/Trak-Star lineup of rail maintenance products and tools includes gas and hydraulic powered rail drills, gas and electric powered bonding drills, Twister rail bits, gas and hydraulic rail saws, a gas impact wrench and a variety of accessories. Visit Hougen/Trak-Star at Booth #3830 at Railway Interchange 2017, which will be held Sept. 17-20, 2017, in Indianapolis.
