National 110-8 Scarifier

The National 110-8 Scarifier is a compact electric surface preparation machine designed for removing paint, mastic, thin-set, adhesives, and other surface materials from concrete and flooring substrates. Built around an 8-inch milling width and a powerful 110V motor, the 110-8 gives contractors a portable scarifying solution for residential, commercial, and renovation work where controlled surface removal is needed.

This machine is a strong choice for flooring contractors, concrete preparation crews, coating removal professionals, remodelers, rental fleets, and facility maintenance teams that need a compact scarifier for surface prep, adhesive removal, and wood floor scoring applications.

Compact Electric Surface Preparation

The National 110-8 is designed for contractors who need a portable scarifier that can be used in areas where larger machines may be too aggressive, too heavy, or difficult to maneuver. Its compact size makes it practical for small commercial spaces, residential projects, garages, basements, hallways, remodels, and targeted surface preparation areas.

Because it operates on 110V power, the 110-8 is accessible for many jobsites without requiring specialized high-voltage electrical service.

Built for Paint, Mastic, and Thin-Set Removal

The National 110-8 is especially useful for removing paint, mastic, thin-set, adhesive residue, and similar surface materials. These materials can be difficult and time-consuming to remove by hand, especially when preparing a floor for new coatings, tile, adhesives, or other flooring systems.

With the proper drum and cutting tools, the 110-8 helps mechanically remove surface buildup and prepare the floor for the next step in the installation or surface preparation process.

8-Inch Milling Width

The 8-inch milling width gives the National 110-8 a practical balance of control and productivity. It is narrow enough for tight spaces and detail work, while still wide enough to make efficient passes across small to medium preparation areas.

This makes the machine useful for contractors who need a scarifier that can handle focused removal work without the size and setup requirements of larger surface preparation equipment.

Quick Lifter for Drum Control

The 110-8 includes a quick lifter for the scarifier drum. This feature allows the operator to lift the drum when moving the machine without changing the cutting depth setting.

That makes it easier to reposition the machine, move between passes, or transport it across the work area without losing the depth adjustment already set for the job.

Stepless Depth Adjustment

The National 110-8 uses stepless depth adjustment so the operator can set the cutting depth to match the surface material, desired profile, and application. Proper depth adjustment helps the cutting tools engage the surface correctly and produce a more consistent result.

This is especially important when removing coatings, mastic, thin-set, or other materials where too little depth may not remove enough material and too much depth may be overly aggressive.

Drum and Cutter Flexibility

The scarifier drum is the heart of the National 110-8. The machine can be configured with different cutting tools and drum setups depending on the surface and material being removed.

Different cutters allow the machine to be adapted for various applications, including surface cleaning, paint removal, adhesive removal, thin-set removal, and other preparation work. Choosing the correct drum and cutter setup is important for production, surface profile, and finish quality.

Wood Scoring Drum Compatibility

The National 110-8 can be paired with National’s 8-inch wood scoring drum, which is available with three or five blades. This makes the 110-8 a useful companion to floor scrapers when removing hardwood flooring.

Scoring the wood floor before scraping can help improve removal efficiency by cutting the floor into sections, making it easier for a scraper to lift and remove the material.

Jobsite Safety Features

The National 110-8 includes safety-focused features such as an emergency stop switch and an under-voltage release. The emergency stop switch allows the operator to quickly cut power to the drive, while the under-voltage release helps shut off power if voltage problems, fuse issues, or cable damage occur.

These features help support safer operation during demanding surface preparation work.

What the National 110-8 Can Remove

With the proper drum and tooling setup, the National 110-8 Scarifier can be used for a variety of surface preparation applications, including:

• Paint removal

Dust Collection Compatibility

Scarifying concrete, coatings, adhesives, and thin-set can create dust and debris, so the National 110-8 should be paired with an appropriate dust collection system whenever possible. A compatible dust collector helps improve visibility, reduce cleanup, and support cleaner jobsite operation.

Dust control is especially important when working indoors, preparing floors in occupied spaces, or removing materials from concrete substrates.
