the use of an aggressive flail configuration because of 
productivity  and cost considerations. Less aggressive 
flail configurations can then be utilized for the final 
finishing sequence. Generally speaking, the more 
aggressive the flail configuration, the more coarse the 
resulting finish and texture. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
FIGURE 1 
 
Many flail configurations  are  available to meet a wide 
variety of job application  and surface material  
specifications. To give additional perspective to each 
configuration  a  rating system  of 1 to 10 (10 being 
highest) has been devised.  
 
Star Flail 
 
The 

star type flail is manufactured from high carbon, 

alloy steel that is through hardened for additional 
service life. FIGURE 2. It is highly effective for light 
cleaning or scarifying and delivers a fine surface finish 
texture. Designed for medium to high speed material 
removal of the work surface.

Suggested Applications: 
1) Removal of thin coatings  and encrusted 
accumulations. 
 
2)  Cleaning concrete and asphaltic surfaces. 
 
3) Removing thick material build-ups of greases, 
paints, oils, vegetable powders and some resins from 
wood floors. 
 
4) Light scarifying prior to the application of coatings, 
toppings or sealers. 
 
5) Light, steel deck descaling projects.

SERVICE LIFE 1. The star flail should be replaced 
when the outside diameter is worn to approximately 1-
5/16 inch or the inside diameter elongates to 
approximately 3/4 inch.  
 
Beam Flail 
The 

beam type flail is manufactured from high 

carbon,  alloy steel that is through hardened for 
additional service life. FIGURE 3.  It is highly effective 
for scabbling or scarifying  and delivers medium to 
coarse surface finish texture. Designed for medium to 
high speed material removal of the work surface.
