The Novatek FlexShaft Deck Scaler drives a rotating scaling head through a flexible shaft from a remote motor, stripping rust, scale, paint and other build-up from steel decks and leaving the surface ready for priming or coating. Choose the 110 V electric model with a 1 hp motor on a skid, or the air model with a 1.5 hp air motor on a swivel base.
Because the operator holds only the handle and head, it reaches under piping, around deck fittings and into wheelhouses that a walk-behind machine cannot. Every unit ships with a cutter scaling head, a heavy-duty chipping leaf head, a 6" wire brush, the guard and wrenches, so shipyards and marine crews can move from heavy removal to finishing with one tool.
Features
Flexible Shaft Drive
A remote motor powers the head through a flexible shaft, so the operator handles only a light dumbbell handle with a guard.
Electric or Air
110 V electric with a 1 hp, 12.5 amp motor on a skid, or a 1.5 hp air motor on a swivel base, fed at least 70 cfm at 90 psi.
Three Heads Included
Cutter scaling head, heavy-duty chipping leaf head and 6" wire brush ship with both models.
Heavy Removal to Finish
Cutter wheels take off heavy rust, scale and two-part epoxy; chipping leaves leave a paint-ready surface; the brush finishes.
Thermal Protection
The splash-proof electric motor has a thermal protector that stops it before overheating damage.
Works in Tight Spaces
The compact head reaches under piping, decks and wheelhouses that were previously out of reach.
