About This Product
Diamond Grinding Wheel for Thick Coating Removal
The Alpha® Spike Disc is a diamond-clustered grinding wheel engineered to remove thick epoxy, urethane, glue, and adhesive coatings. Multiple layers of high-quality diamond grit are vacuum-brazed into clustered beads, providing fast material removal and consistent cutting performance throughout the life of the disc.
Removes Coatings Without Grinding the Concrete
Unlike an aggressive PCD cup wheel or conventional concrete grinding disc, the Spike Disc targets the coating without damaging the underlying concrete surface. Preserving the concrete helps reduce the need for a separate grinding step after the coating has been removed.
Open-Mesh Grinding Disc Reduces Clogging and Heat
The open-mesh diamond layout allows removed coating material to clear the working surface, reducing clogging and heat buildup. This open construction also helps prevent excessive heat from burning metal surfaces. A lightweight sandwiched body with rubber cushioning reduces noise and vibration during operation.
Grinding Wheel for Concrete, Steel, Wood and Composites
The Spike Disc can remove coatings from concrete, steel, wood, Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP), and Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP). It is available in 4-1/2", 5", and 7" diameters with 35 or 50 grit. The 5/8"-11 threaded hub allows the grinder wheel to mount directly to compatible angle grinders. It can also be paired with the Alpha Ecoguard G and a compatible vacuum for a virtually dust-free coating removal setup.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What coatings can the Alpha Spike Disc remove?
The Spike Disc is designed to remove thick epoxy, urethane, glue, and adhesive coatings.
Does the Spike Disc grind the concrete beneath the coating?
The Spike Disc is designed to remove coatings without damaging or aggressively grinding the underlying concrete surface. This helps reduce the need for a separate concrete grinding step after coating removal.
What surfaces can the Alpha Spike Disc be used on?
It can be used for coating removal on concrete, steel, wood, Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP), and Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP).
How does the Spike Disc reduce clogging and heat buildup?
Its open-mesh diamond layout allows removed coating material to clear the working surface. This reduces material buildup and limits the heat that can develop during operation.
What is the difference between the 35 and 50 grit Spike Discs?
The 35 grit uses a coarser diamond abrasive for more aggressive coating removal, while the 50 grit provides a finer cutting action. Select the grit based on the coating and surface preparation requirements.
What sizes and attachment are available?
The Spike Disc is available in 4-1/2", 5", and 7" diameters. The listed models have a 5/8"-11 threaded hub for compatible angle grinders.
Can the Alpha Spike Disc be used with dust collection?
Yes. Alpha recommends pairing the Spike Disc with the compatible Ecoguard G and a vacuum for a virtually dust-free coating removal setup.
