PRODUCT ANNOUNCEMENT (April 2003)

     (Casper, Wyo.) - The unique design of FazLok^TM Quick Disconnect Fittings (patent process initiated), from Woodworker's Supply, Inc., completely eliminates the need for tools and the tedious loosening and retightening of hose clamps when detaching and reattaching dust collection system hoses.
     FazLok^TM female fittings are screw mounted onto dust collectors and machinery. Male fittings are attached to each end of dust collection hoses using hose clamps. Once in place, hoses can be quickly moved from one machine to the next with a twist of the wrist.
     Sized to fit 4" dust ports, the fittings work with a wide range of dust collector systems and machinery. Precision molded for durability, their matched taper seating prevents vacuum leaks, while a positive lock prevents uncoupling during use.
     The durable, clear plastic fittings also make it possible to view the flow of chips into dust collectors to allow for hose adjustments to ensure maximum efficiency.
     Quick disconnect fittings are available individually or in cost saving, four-piece starter kits, which include two female fittings (one for a machine, one for a dust collectory) and two male fittings for hose ends (hose clamps and hose not included):


     Manufactured in the United States, FazLok^TM Quick Disconnect Fittings were specificaaly developed by Woodworker's Supply, "to meet and anticipate the needs of professional woodworkers." In business for three decades, Woodworker's Supply provides top quality woodworking tools, machinery, abrasives, adhesives, hardware, accessories, and wood specialty products to customers, worldwide, from stores and distribution centers in Casper, Wyoming, Albuquerque, New Mexico, and Graham, North Carolina.
