A 7″ diamond cup wheel is a versatile tool attachment used primarily for grinding, smoothing, and removing material from hard surfaces like concrete, stone, and masonry. It’s typically used with angle grinders or concrete grinders, such as the Hilti DG 150.
Key Features:
- Material: Made with industrial-grade diamond segments, which provide excellent durability and long life when working on hard surfaces like concrete, masonry, and stone.
- Applications:
- Concrete Grinding: Ideal for grinding concrete surfaces to remove coatings, level high spots, and prepare for new flooring or coatings.
- Surface Smoothing: Smooth out rough surfaces, polish edges, and finish large areas.
- Coating Removal: Efficient at removing epoxy, paint, or adhesive coatings from floors and walls.
- Masonry and Stone Work: Suitable for grinding down stone or brick to achieve a smoother surface or for shaping purposes.
- Types of Cup Wheels:
- Single Row: Offers a balanced grinding performance, mainly used for light-duty grinding and finishing.
- Double Row: Features additional rows of diamond segments for faster material removal and is better suited for medium- to heavy-duty grinding tasks.
- Turbo Cup: The turbo design enhances cooling and provides smoother grinding, which is ideal for finishing work.
- Compatibility: Designed to fit most 7″ angle grinders, concrete grinders, and floor grinders. It works best when paired with dust management systems to minimize airborne particles during grinding.
Benefits:
- Efficiency: Fast grinding and material removal compared to traditional abrasive grinding wheels.
- Durability: The diamond segments ensure a longer lifespan, reducing the need for frequent replacements.
- Versatility: Can be used on a variety of surfaces, making it a go-to tool for many construction, renovation, and demolition tasks.
Common Uses:
- Contractors: Widely used by professionals for preparing concrete surfaces, polishing, and removing coatings.
- DIY Projects: Can be used for home improvement projects involving concrete or stone floors, walls, or countertops.
When selecting a 7″ diamond cup wheel, be sure to match the type of wheel to your specific application and the material you’re working with.
