Metal Forms Corporation has engineered long-life and low maintenance into every screed. Speed Screeds also have the largest eccentric weights of any screed on the market. The size of the eccentric weights provides the most slab consolidation while not over vibrating the concrete or the screed. Our Cruiser and Heavy-Duty screeds have "double life" finishing tubes which can be rotated when one side wears out. |

Usually, 1” for every five feet of screed. However, the more shorter sections used the more crowning capability. |
