Quick Overview:
The HAWK 17" Merlin 360 is engineered for high productivity in harsh environments, like concrete resurfacing and natural stone polishing. Available in two finishes—Black Motor (F75-17B) and Chrome Motor (F75-17C)—both feature the powerful 1.5 HP TEFC AC motor and the proprietary 360° Dust Pickup System for a cleaner, safer worksite. The Merlin 360’s “Floating Head” design, combined with its high-performance motor and heavy-duty construction, makes it perfect for demanding tasks, while keeping airborne dust and debris under control.
Which Model is Right for You?
Both variants provide the same level of performance, with the same dust control system and durability. Choose based on your aesthetic preference or specific durability needs.
Is Dust and Downtime Slowing Your Work?
The HAWK 17" Merlin 360 Severe-Duty Floor Machine is the solution. It’s built to withstand demanding environments while ensuring cleaner, safer floors.
Why It Stands Out:
The Merlin 360 transforms surface preparation through its unique combination of Floating-Head WD technology and 360° dust collection. While traditional machines leave you fighting dust and debris, our integrated system captures airborne particles at the source. The robust 1.5 HP motor and 11:1 gear drive power through the toughest jobs without compromise.
What Customers Love:
Contractors praise the Merlin 360's ability to maintain a clean workspace during aggressive surface preparation. The floating head design ensures consistent surface contact, while the integrated dust collection system connects easily to standard commercial vacuums. The included 80-pound weight system provides perfect pressure for any application.
Perfect For:
The HAWK Merlin 360 17" sets a new standard in professional surface preparation by combining aggressive performance with advanced dust control. Built with UL/CUL listed components and featuring dual voltage capability, this machine delivers the perfect balance of power and safety. When your projects demand serious surface preparation without the dust hazards, the Merlin 360 provides the complete solution professionals trust.
