Portamix Notched Steel Trowels

The Notched Gauge Rake is the go-to tool for contractors who need to pull uniform coats of cement-based SLUs, epoxy self-levellers or polyurethane screeds without fussing with cams or gliders. Its one-piece 24 in. (600 mm) stainless bar is laser-cut with a V profile; the angled web keeps the rake at a perfect 90° to the slab so material thickness stays constant across the entire pass. Because every rake is built to a single notch height, setup is as simple as “grab the right size and go.”

The notches are engineered so the wet-film thickness laid down equals roughly 40 % of the notch height — the sweet spot for most self-smoothing systems. The abrasion-resistant stainless edge shrugs off aggregate and cleans up fast on site.

Key Features:

• Fixed V-Notch Heights Instant, repeatable build with no on-site adjustments needed.
• Angled Blade Geometry Keeps the bar upright, preventing “feathering” at the ends of a pull.
• Abrasion-Resistant 304 Stainless Steel Won’t rust in wet‐cement environments and outlasts mild-steel rakes.
• 24 in. (600mm) Working Width Covers more floor in fewer passes, boosting productivity.

Typical applications

• Cementitious and gypsum self-levelling underlayments (SLUs)

• Self-levelling epoxy or polyurethane flooring at 20–160 mil (0.5–4 mm) wet film

• Decorative metallic or terrazzo-look pours that require precise build control
