12. ACCESSORY OPTIONS
12.1 Blades
NOTE
Blades should be changed when they fail to finish concrete in a satisfactory manner.
Blades are a vital part of finishing concrete. This Tomahawk Trowel has been designed to
finish concrete and is built to stringent quality standards out of the finest trowel steel. If you
need replacement blades, consult your parts list in this manual for part numbers and order
them from the Tomahawk Website

12.2 Combo Blades
This trowel was equipped with combination
FLOAT/FINISH (Figure 15) blades as original
equipment. These blades have been designed for
optimum performance in both the floating and
finishing operations. These blades are versatile and
should take care of most troweling needs.
12.3 Finish Blades (Optional)
These blades have been specifically designed for finish operations with this trowel. They will
provide a premium surface finishing capability from your trowel. They should only be used
after the concrete has set to the point where the trowel does not sink into the concrete when
placed on it.
12.4 Clip-On Float Blades (Optional)
These blades will clip (Figure 16) on to an existing
installed blade, allowing your finisher to float on
“wet” concrete so that the troweling operation can
begin as early as possible. They are easily removable,
so that after the floating operation, when the
concrete is sufficiently cured, they can be removed to
expose the finish blades for continued troweling.
12.5 Float Discs (Optional)
These round discs attach to the spiders and allow the machine to “float” on “wet” concrete.
The disc design allows early floating and easy movement from wet to dry areas. They are
also very effective in embedding large aggregates and surface hardeners.
