Self-scoring blades cut flooring into a manageable strip while lifting it from the subfloor, reducing the need to cut every strip by hand.

NFE offers bevel-up options for concrete and bevel-down options for wood and other softer substrates. Blades are replaceable wear items, although some can be turned to expose another edge or resharpened when appropriate.

The Commander is designed primarily for glued-down soft goods such as carpet, VCT, vinyl, rubber and linoleum.

Its orbital cutting action and travel speed of up to 13.7 metres per minute make it well suited to larger soft goods removal projects. For regular tile or hardwood removal, consider the Gladiator or Rogue.

Choose the Gladiator when demanding hard goods removal is your main priority. Its weight, torque and dedicated 9 degree attachment support compatible tooling for tile, hardwood and thinset.

Choose the Rogue when you need greater versatility, adjustable tooling movement and precision electric steering across varied applications.

The Rogue offers the most responsive control through independently driven wheels and electric steering.

The Commander and Gladiator are narrower at approximately 45 centimetres, while the Rogue is shorter at approximately 114 centimetres. Measure the site and decide whether narrow access or powered steering matters most.

Orbital movement creates a cutting action through the flooring rather than relying only on direct pushing force. NFE states that this helps reduce wear on the scraper and extend its service life.

The Commander and Gladiator use fixed tooling speeds, while the Rogue provides adjustable tooling movement for different materials and conditions.

The Commander has a front end configured primarily for soft goods.

The Gladiator includes a 30 degree soft goods attachment and a 9 degree hard goods attachment. The Rogue has a positionable tooling holder that allows its blade angle to be adjusted.

Correct blade and angle selection remain important for every application.

All three machines have folding or adjustable handles and removable weight.

The Rogue has approximately 80.3 kilograms of removable weight. The Commander and Gladiator have smaller removable weight packages and transport wheel arrangements.

Always consider access dimensions, vehicle capacity and appropriate loading equipment before selecting a machine.

NFE offers purpose-built options for different removal work rather than relying on one general-purpose machine.

Choose the Commander for soft goods productivity, the Gladiator for demanding hard goods or the Rogue for adjustable tooling and precision steering.
