The Texas Pneumatic TX1B needle scaler is a USA-made pneumatic scaler whose needles adjust automatically to any surface contour, making fast work of rust, paint, scale and marine growth on irregular steel. It runs 4,600 BPM from a 1 in. bore and 1-1/8 in. stroke, drawing 12 CFM at 90 psi through a 1/4 NPT inlet, in a 6 lb tool measuring 17 in. overall.
The tool converts completely to a chisel scaler the TX1B chisel scaler is the flat-blade version and lever throttle, push throttle, long reach and 2 mm, 4 mm and 7 in. needle options are all stocked. Typical duty runs from de-rusting and weld peening to casting cleanup and chipping stone, concrete and brick. It anchors the Texas Pneumatic scaler line at Crowder Supply within our chisel and needle scaler selection, and an in-line lubricator on the supply hose keeps it cycling at rate.
