Interchangeable Hubs

Hub Type	Description
	*Cutters* are used to remove heavy coatings including epoxy and elastomeric type coatings, mastic removal, non-skid removal, as well as concrete scarification. Two types of cutter hubs are available: Welded – when cutters wear out the hub is discarded. Reloadable – when cutters wear out, the hub is reloaded. A reload kit is available which includes cutters, pins and hardware.
	Roto-Hammers are very effective in removing fracturable coatings. Due to their design, they are also ideal for removing coatings from irregular surfaces or surfaces with holes or protruding objects such as nuts, bolts, rivets and welds. Due to the Roto-Hammer design, they perform much like a needlegun in terms of both profile and versatility. Hammers will step over obstacles like bolt heads and step into depressions, in the same manner as the needles of a needlegun.
	*Cushion hubs* are used for applications requiring coated abrasives. The cushion hub excels at tasks such as post-weld leveling and grinding off scars left by cutting off lifting padeyes. These post-weld tasks are traditionally done with a hand-held grinder with the tool operator on his knees. However, the SUFX/Cushion setup provides significant advantages over a hand-held grinder process, including: 1) Productivity – faster results, 2) Esthetics – no swirl marks and, 3) Ergonomics – the worker operates the machine from a standing position.
