DEWALT DXTT-2-940 40 in. Skimming Blade – Aluminum Housing with 0.012 in. (0.3mm) Replaceable Stainless Steel Blade Insert
Due to their lightweight design and ease of use, skimming blades are an increasingly popular tool for drywall finishing.Premium quality DEWALT Skimming Blades come in lengths from 7 to 48 inches and feature a flexible, high precision stainless steel blade inserted into a rigid aluminum handle profile.These tools are outstanding for smoothing out fresh drywall compounds with even distribution and unprecedented sensitivity.SUGGESTED USESAvailable in eight lengths, there’s a DEWALT skimming blade for every drywall finishing job:7-inch, 10-inch or 14-inch blades are often used for bedding and wiping down drywall tape after it has been applied using an automatic taper or banjo.When smoothing out drywall joints or wider areas, 16-inch, 24-inch or 32-inch skimming blades are ideal; they can get the job done more efficiently than any other finishing knife or trowel.40-Inch or 48-inch skimming blades are perfect for smoothing compounds evenly across large surfaces, such as full walls or ceilings. Typical examples would include when you roll on and smooth out drywall joint compound to a level 5 finish, or when you are skimming over old drywall or textured finishes.WHY CHOOSE DEWALT SKIMMING BLADES?Not all skimming blades are created equal and DEWALT Skimming Blades have a number of key features that make them the professional finisher’s first choice.
- A PROPRIETARY BLADE EDGE – The 0.3mm European stainless steel blade inserts feature a rounded edge profile (vs. a typical stamped edge that is squared off and sharp). The compound rolls off the DEWALT Skimming Blade evenly and with a smoother finish
- A UNIQUE BLADE SHAPE – Raised at both ends and rounded at the corners, the proprietary shape of the blade insert itself minimizes or eliminates lap marks when you are smoothing out large areas.
- REPLACEABLE BLADE INSERTS – The blade inserts are easily replaceable if damaged or worn. No tools required; simply remove one of the skimming blade end caps for slide-out/slide-in replacement at a fraction of the cost of replacing the entire skimming blade.
- ALUMINUM HANDLE PROFILE – Aircraft-grade, extruded aluminum housings provide maximum rigidity across the blade span. The ergonomic profile provides a comfortable, ergonomic hand grip for all-day use.
- LIGHTWEIGHT EXTENDABLE HANDLES – The blade profile also accepts a handle adapter, enabling DEWALT extendable skimming blade poles to be affixed for work on high walls and ceilings.
