Leave no stone un-turned

Keeping a sidewalk level is harder than it sounds. Precision Concrete Cutting has built a national business on their quick turnaround service. I was asked to design a more efficient dust shroud to help reduce their cutter's on-site time.

I spent the next month covered in dust with their cutters. In this time I learned that more time was wasted with their mounting hardware than the mess. I added a quick release mount to the scope of the project.  After delivery this system led to a 45% reduction in down time, and happy employees.
