While individual blade or accessory attachment
design and configuration may vary, basic operational
characteristics are identical: impact against a floor
surface and remove the covering material. This
common operational characteristic has led to the
development of the following popular blade
configurations and accessory attachments:
Angled mastic removal blade.
This blade configuration is utilized to remove a wide
variety of adhesives, mastics and material residues
from concrete surfaces. The steep angle increases
the cutting edge position relative to the floor surface.
The angle increase allows the blade to better
penetrate the material and then shear and scrape it
from the floor surface. The cutting edge faces down
toward the floor surface. Angled mastic blades are
utilized on concrete surfaces only. use on wood
surfaces will only dig into and remove substrate
material. FIguRE 5.
FIguRE 5
Straight beveled cutting edge blade.
This blade configuration is utilized to remove a wide
variety of vCT and linoleum tiles along with general
material removal from concrete and wood surfaces.
Some blades feature two cutting edges. Position the
blade edge facing up for use on concrete surfaces.
Flip the blade over for use on wood surfaces. Specific
blades are available for removing covering materials
from either concrete or wood surfaces. This blade
design does not allow it to be flipped over for use on
both concrete and wood surfaces. FIguRE 6.
FIguRE 6
Straight beveled scoring blades.
This blade configuration is utilized to remove glued
type carpet and soft sheet type (PvC, rubber,
linoleum, etc) materials from concrete and wood
surfaces. FIguRE 7. The cutting wings score the
covering material to aid in removal. Specific part
numbers are available for removing covering materials
from either concrete or wood surfaces. The blade
design does not allow it to be flipped over for use on
both concrete and wood surfaces.
