Why The WerkMaster Scarab Pro Is Worth The Investment
This isn't just a handheld grinder, it's built with a German Eibenstock-developed motor and counter-rotational tooling heads, giving flooring contractors and restoration crews the stability and finish quality needed for precise edge and corner work that a general-purpose angle grinder can't match.
The Scarab Pro specifically addresses the needs of flooring contractors and restoration crews who need to grind and refinish concrete, stone, terrazzo, and VCT tile in hard-to-reach places, corners, and tight areas that a full-size walk-behind machine can't access.
Gets Where Bigger Machines Can't. With a 90 degree rotating head, the Scarab Pro edges within 1/8-in. to the wall even in hard-to-reach places, making it the ideal companion tool to finish edges and corners after a larger walk-behind grinder has covered the open floor area.
Built For Stable, Precise Finishing
Counter-rotational tooling heads keep the Scarab Pro stable during operation, supporting safe use and a superior finish
The water feature makes switching from dry to wet grinding and polishing simple, adapting to the material and job requirements
WerkMaster 3-in. wide quick change tooling plates make switching between grinding, refinishing, and polishing tasks fast
Engineered For Versatility Across Materials
Grinds, refinishes, and polishes concrete, stone, terrazzo, and VCT tile with the same handheld tool
The dust control system allows simple vacuum attachment to protect the operator from dust and debris
The efficient, powerful Eibenstock-developed motor delivers consistent performance across varied material types
Real Savings
Quick change tooling plates reduce downtime switching between grinding, refinishing, and polishing tasks
Reaching hard-to-reach places directly reduces the need for manual hand tools or touch-up work after the main grinding pass
Wet and dry grinding flexibility avoids the need for a separate dedicated wet grinder
Free shipping and no sales tax through Summit Forge Supply keeps the total cost down compared to buying elsewhere and paying tax and freight separately
The Bottom Line Flooring contractors and restoration crews who need to grind and refinish concrete, stone, terrazzo, and VCT tile in tight corners and hard-to-reach spots can't rely on a general-purpose angle grinder or a bulky walk-behind machine to get the job done cleanly. The WerkMaster Scarab Pro is built with a German-engineered motor, stable counter-rotational tooling heads, and wet/dry grinding flexibility, so it delivers a superior finish exactly where larger machines can't reach. For anyone finishing edges and corners as a regular part of the job, this is the tool built to get in close.
