COMPACT DESIGN with HIGH PERFORMANCE
The DESCO Model 18 Needle Scaler delivers the performance of a larger scaler in a small package. The compact design gets you into the tight spaces where larger tools will not fit. Plus, the Model 18 is recoilless — which means low vibration and low noise — delivering productivity-boosting ergonomics.
Stop repetitive motion syndrome! Using the latest technology for vibration suppression, this dust free needlegun operates with far less vibration than ordinary needle scalers. The 3-CFM air requirement allows this needlegun to operate on a limited air supply.
Applications
Needleguns excel at cleaning in and around obstacles where other tools are not effective.
| Application 1 | Application 2 | Application 3 |
|---|---|---|
| Removing coatings | Removing millscale & non-skid | Cleaning castings |
| Removing rust & corrosion | Cleaning angles and corners | De-slagging welds |
Needles Conform to Shape
Desco needleguns have the ability to conform to the contour of the surface they are cleaning. In the process, the needles adhere to an object’s shape while stepping over obstacles and stepping into voids. As a result, needleguns produce excellent results in places where other tools cannot.
