PCD Diamond Grinding Cups for Thick Coating Removal
R1,760.70
PCD Diamond Grinding Cups are professional surface preparation tools designed for the fast removal of thick and difficult floor coatings from concrete and other hard surfaces.
Unlike conventional diamond grinding cups that primarily grind material away, PCD segments scrape and rip coatings from the surface. This makes PCD tooling particularly effective for removing epoxy, urethane, mastics, adhesives, rubber, fibreglass linings, pool coatings and waterproofing membranes.
PCD grinding cups are ideal for flooring contractors, concrete preparation specialists and renovation teams carrying out heavy coating removal before new flooring systems, epoxy coatings, overlays or other surface treatments are installed.

A PCD diamond grinding cup is a specialised coating-removal tool that uses Polycrystalline Diamond (PCD) segments to aggressively remove coatings from concrete and other surfaces.
Instead of relying solely on abrasive grinding, PCD segments mechanically scrape and tear coatings from the surface. This makes them particularly effective when conventional diamond tooling becomes clogged or loaded with sticky coating materials.
PCD grinding cups are commonly used for heavy coating removal where speed and efficient material removal are more important than producing a final polished concrete finish.

What is a PCD grinding cup used for?
A PCD grinding cup is primarily used for aggressive removal of floor coatings and other difficult bonded materials from concrete surfaces.
What does PCD stand for?
PCD stands for Polycrystalline Diamond. PCD segments are designed to mechanically scrape and remove coatings rather than simply grind them.
Can PCD grinding cups remove epoxy?
Yes. PCD grinding cups are designed for the removal of coatings including epoxy, urethane, mastics, glue and rubber.
Can PCD grinding cups remove fibreglass?
Yes. FloorsHQ's PCD tooling is documented for the removal of fibreglass linings as well as pool coatings and waterproofing membranes.
Are PCD grinding cups suitable for thick coatings?
Yes. PCD tooling is particularly suited to aggressive removal of thick coatings, with different configurations available for different coating thicknesses.
What is the difference between PCD and diamond grinding cups?
PCD tooling is designed primarily for aggressive coating removal by scraping and ripping material from the surface, while conventional diamond tooling is commonly used for grinding concrete and general surface preparation.
Do PCD grinding cups clog?
PCD tooling is designed to reduce clogging, loading and smearing when removing suitable coating materials.
Can PCD cups be used to remove waterproofing?
Yes. PCD tooling is documented for removing waterproofing membranes from suitable surfaces.
What should I use after PCD coating removal?
After heavy coating removal, conventional diamond grinding tooling may be used where additional concrete grinding, profiling or surface preparation is required.
Are PCD grinding cups suitable for concrete grinding?
PCD cups are primarily coating-removal tools. For general concrete grinding and surface preparation, conventional diamond grinding cups or diamond segments are generally more appropriate.
| Feature | PCD Grinding Cup | Diamond Grinding Cup |
|---|---|---|
| Primary Function | Heavy coating removal | Grinding and surface preparation |
| Removal Method | Scrapes and rips coating | Abrasively grinds material |
| Thick Coatings | Excellent | More suited to thinner coatings |
| Sticky Coatings | Excellent | Can load or clog |
| Epoxy Removal | Excellent | Good depending on coating |
| Fibreglass Removal | Excellent | Less suitable for heavy removal |
| Concrete Grinding | Primarily coating removal | Excellent |
| Final Surface Finishing | Not the primary purpose | Better suited |
