What is a cam gauge screed rake?

A cam gauge screed rake is a large rake that evenly distributes screed on a bigger scale. They do the work of a screed trowel but quicker and less labour intensive which is all the more reason to invest in a cam gauge screed rake. The cam gauge screed rake enables a precise and uniform depth of application. The addition of the radial dial cam design is perfect for ensuring the thickness is even throughout the spreading process, regardless of the angles it is being held at.

Why should I use a screed rake?

Screed rakes are great for bigger jobs as they cover a larger surface area, saving you time and money. They also offer a more accurate and uniformed leveling ability, meaning the job will be completed professionally with little effort.

How does a cam gauge work?
