GrindLazer Depth Control Gas-Powered Scarifier

Graco GrindLazer HP DC1013-G DCS Gas Powered Concrete Scarifier

The Graco GrindLazer HP DC1013-G DCS is Graco's premium high-production forward-cut concrete scarifier featuring an advanced Depth Control System (DCS), commercial Honda GX390 13 HP engine, electric start, and a 10-inch cutting width. Designed for contractors performing demanding concrete surface preparation, pavement marking removal, trip hazard repair, and industrial flooring projects, this model combines exceptional production rates with precise electronic depth control for unmatched consistency and operator efficiency.

Unlike conventional scarifiers that rely solely on manual depth adjustments, the DC1013-G DCS features Graco's intelligent Depth Control System, allowing operators to establish a cutter zero point while displaying the active cutting depth in real time. This improves accuracy, reduces operator guesswork, minimizes accidental drum drops, and helps produce consistent surface profiles across uneven concrete and asphalt surfaces.

Whether removing thermoplastic traffic markings, profiling concrete before epoxy coatings, or preparing warehouse floors for overlays, the GrindLazer HP DC1013-G DCS delivers professional-grade productivity, excellent maneuverability, and long-term reliability.

Why Choose the GrindLazer HP DC1013-G DCS?

Advanced Depth Control System (DCS)

One of the biggest advantages of this model is the integrated Depth Control System, which provides significantly greater accuracy than traditional manual adjustment systems.

Benefits include:

• User-programmable zero point

• Live cutting depth display

• Fast adjustment for changing pavement conditions

• Accurate thermoplastic inlay cutting

• Consistent concrete profiling

• Eliminates measuring and guesswork

• Helps prevent accidental "dropped drum" damage

• English and metric display options

• Rugged, fully encapsulated electronics designed for vibration and harsh jobsite conditions

Honda GX390 Commercial Engine

The machine is powered by the legendary Honda GX390, delivering dependable commercial performance for demanding contractors.

Engine advantages include:

• 13 HP commercial output

• GX390 overhead-valve engine

• Electric start

• Cyclone® air filtration system

• Excellent fuel efficiency

• Reliable cold-weather starting

• Low maintenance

• Proven long service life

• Readily available Honda replacement parts

Electric Start Convenience

Unlike recoil-start machines, the DC1013-G DCS features electric start, allowing faster startups, especially in cold weather or during repeated stop-and-start operations. The system also contributes to longer belt life and reduces wear associated with repeated recoil starting.

High Production Performance

With a 10-inch maximum cutting width and production rates up to 800 sq. ft./hour, or up to 1,700 sq. ft./hour when paired with an optional LineDriver, the DC1013-G DCS is built for demanding commercial and municipal projects.

TriBelt Drive System

Graco's heavy-duty TriBelt Drive System maximizes power transfer while minimizing downtime.

Benefits include:

• Three-cog belt design

• Efficient power transmission

• Reduced belt slippage

• Longer belt life

• Lower maintenance costs

• Improved productivity

Fat Track™ Front Swivel Wheel

The oversized Fat Track™ front caster provides:

• Easier turning

• Better maneuverability

• Improved control around curves

• Reduced operator effort

• Smoother handling on uneven surfaces

EasyGlide™ Wheel Mount System

The EasyGlide™ Wheel Mount System features:

• Front-mounted caster

• Dual rear pneumatic tires

• Reduced vibration

• Floating deck capability on uneven surfaces

• Improved machine control

• No-tool adjustment system

Dust Collection Ready

The integrated vacuum port allows connection to the optional Graco LazerVac® dust collection system, reducing airborne silica dust during concrete scarifying. An optional Dust Suppression Water Kit (Part No. 25N367) is also available for additional dust control.

LineDriver® Compatible

The DC1013-G DCS is fully compatible with the optional Graco LineDriver®, dramatically increasing productivity while reducing operator fatigue. The ride-on attachment can more than double production rates on large pavement-marking and surface-preparation jobs.
