ASL T2 PCD Epoxy Removal + Concrete Floor Grinding (Case Study)

PCD first. 16 grit metal next

January 27, 2026

Customer Pain Point

Brian needed a clean, predictable epoxy coating removal setup on an ASL T2 (2-head magnetic plate), then a solid follow-up step for concrete floor grinding—without guessing tooling direction or bond.

Recommended Setup

• Start with PCD (Polycrystalline Diamond, for coating removal) in clockwise direction ×6 (magnetic).

• Follow with metal bond diamond at 16 grit, MEDIUM bond ×6 (magnetic) for cleanup and surface preparation.

• Keep the sequence simple: PCD removes epoxy fast, metal grinding cleans and flattens the slab.

Jobsite Workflow (Typical Sequence)

  1. Epoxy removal pass with clockwise PCD
  2. Cleanup/flattening with 16 grit metal bond
  3. Next step depends on slab condition and finish requirement (not provided)

ASL T2 (2-head magnetic plates): clockwise PCD for epoxy removal, then 16 grit MEDIUM bond metal diamonds for cleanup and surface prep.

Results Achieved

This setup made the process more predictable: correct PCD direction, a clear follow-up grit, and a safer bond choice for typical slabs. It reduces wrong-tool risk, avoids random scratch issues, and keeps the workflow moving with fewer stop-and-check moments (estimated, based on typical jobsite practice).

Results reflect one customer’s setup and typical jobsite practice. Outcomes vary with machine condition, slab hardness, epoxy type/thickness, operator technique, and site conditions. No guarantees are expressed or implied.
