Bosch has released new BlueGranite Turbo Carbide Hammer Drill Bits. The bits feature a four-grind head, which the company says offers more cutting angles and a faster bore than a two-grind bit.

Dustless Technologies introduced the DustBuddie for worm drive circular saws. The product captures up to 99% of the dust created when cutting concrete and stone, says the maker, and complies with OSHA’s new Silica Rule without water. Six nonmarking wheels allow the device to glide over the work surface, delivering straighter cuts while the airflow chamber collects the dust.
