A practical route from existing surface to the next trade.

Tool choice depends on what must be removed, the underlying concrete, the machine and the finish required for the next coating or polishing step.

Epoxy removal

Lift the coating without loading the tool.

PCD tooling is commonly considered for epoxy and other resilient coatings because the cutting tips scrape material from the floor. Direction, PCD layout and protective segments should be matched to the machine and coating.

View PCD tools

Identify the coating

Share photos, approximate thickness and whether layers are soft, brittle or reinforced.

Confirm the machine

Machine model, plate style and rotation direction affect fit and PCD orientation.

Plan the next pass

PCD removal may be followed by metal-bond grinding to manage the scratch pattern.

Adhesive removal

Assess heat, softness and build-up.

Adhesives vary widely. A tool that works on a hard, brittle residue may behave differently on a soft material that smears with heat. Send a small-area result or job photo before selecting.

Concrete grinding

Bond selection follows floor hardness.

A harder concrete surface generally needs a softer bond so fresh diamond can expose. Softer, more abrasive concrete generally needs a harder bond to manage tool wear. Grit and segment layout then refine removal rate and scratch pattern.

Floor preparation

Build a sequence, not a single-tool guess.

The correct sequence links coating removal, levelling or profiling, scratch refinement and final cleaning to the requirements of the next floor system.

Step 1

Survey

Machine, floor condition, coating, edges, power and dust-control constraints.

Step 2

Remove

Choose PCD or grinding tooling based on the material and removal behaviour.

Step 3

Refine

Move to the required metal-bond grit and manage the previous scratch pattern.

Step 4

Verify

Check profile, cleanliness and readiness for the following coating or finish.
