Tungsten Carbide Grinding Cups for Concrete Coating Removal
Price range: R0.00 through R557.75
ROX® Tungsten Carbide Grinding Cups are professional floor-preparation tools designed for aggressive removal of difficult surface coatings and materials from concrete floors.
Unlike conventional diamond grinding cups, tungsten carbide cups are particularly effective when removing sticky, abrasive or difficult-to-grind materials such as mastic, epoxy, paint, glue, rubber, plaster, gypsum and mortar.
The carbide cutting chunks are designed to rip through stubborn materials while resisting clogging, loading and smearing, making them suitable for demanding floor preparation and coating-removal applications.
| Code | Description | Size | Grit |
|---|---|---|---|
| 95/0/011 | TUNGSTEN CARBIDE DISC | 75 mm | 16 |
| 90/5/010 | TUNGSTEN CARBIDE CUP | 125 mm | 16 |
A tungsten carbide grinding cup is a floor-preparation tool that uses extremely hard tungsten carbide cutting elements to remove coatings and other difficult materials from concrete and similar surfaces.
Unlike traditional abrasive wheels, tungsten carbide tooling works by aggressively cutting and scraping through materials rather than relying solely on conventional abrasive grinding.
This makes tungsten carbide cups particularly useful for removing sticky and abrasive coatings that can clog, load or smear conventional grinding wheels.
Tungsten carbide cups are commonly used for removing mastic, epoxy, paint, glue, rubber, plaster, gypsum and mortar from concrete floors.

What is a tungsten carbide grinding cup?
A tungsten carbide grinding cup is a surface-preparation tool fitted with hard tungsten carbide cutting elements for aggressive removal of coatings and difficult materials.
What are tungsten carbide cups used for?
They are used for removing materials such as mastic, epoxy, paint, glue, rubber, plaster, gypsum and mortar from suitable concrete surfaces.
Are tungsten carbide cups good for epoxy removal?
Yes. Epoxy is among the coatings that tungsten carbide cups are designed to remove.
Can tungsten carbide cups remove mastic?
Yes. Tungsten carbide cups are particularly suitable for aggressive removal of sticky materials such as mastic and adhesive.
Can tungsten carbide cups remove paint from concrete?
Yes. Paint is one of the surface coatings listed for tungsten carbide cup applications.
Can tungsten carbide remove glue from concrete?
Yes. Tungsten carbide tooling is designed for removing suitable glue and adhesive residues from concrete floors.
What is the difference between tungsten carbide and diamond grinding cups?
Tungsten carbide cups are primarily designed for aggressive coating and material removal, while diamond grinding cups are primarily used to grind concrete, cement, marble and stone.
Why use tungsten carbide instead of silicon carbide?
Tungsten carbide tooling is designed for demanding abrasive and sticky materials and is intended to resist clogging, loading and smearing better than conventional silicon carbide wheels.
What size tungsten carbide cup is available?
The current FloorsHQ listing includes a 125 mm tungsten carbide cup.
Is there a tungsten carbide grinding disc?
Yes. A 75 mm tungsten carbide disc.
Can tungsten carbide cups be used on an angle grinder?
The 125 mm tungsten carbide cup is specified for suitable 125 mm angle grinders.
Can tungsten carbide cups be used on a floor grinder?
Yes. With compatible ROX® Falcon floor grinders.
Are tungsten carbide cups suitable for grinding concrete?
They are primarily intended for removing coatings and difficult surface materials. For grinding exposed concrete itself, a suitable diamond grinding cup is generally the more appropriate tool.
| Feature | Tungsten Carbide Cup | Diamond Grinding Cup |
|---|---|---|
| Primary purpose | Coating and material removal | Concrete and stone grinding |
| Sticky coatings | Excellent | Can clog or load depending on material |
| Mastic removal | Excellent | Usually not the first choice |
| Epoxy removal | Excellent for suitable coatings | Depends on coating and diamond tooling |
| Paint removal | Excellent for suitable applications | Depends on coating |
| Concrete grinding | Not the primary application | Primary application |
| Surface refinement | Not the primary purpose | Better suited |
| Typical objective | Remove unwanted material | Grind and prepare the substrate |
