Mini Arrow Cup Wheel Description
Mini arrow cup wheels are an aggressive surface-preparation solution designed for fast removal of coatings, epoxy, mastic, and other surface materials. The mini arrow cup wheel uses a smaller arrow-shaped diamond segment to concentrate grinding pressure, helping the diamonds engage surface materials more effectively during removal applications.
Coating and adhesive removal often generates heat and debris that can clog standard cup wheels, reducing cutting efficiency and increasing wear. The smaller segment profile of a mini arrow cup wheel reduces the overall contact area on the surface, allowing grinding force to be focused more directly into the material being removed. This focused pressure helps maintain consistent cutting performance while limiting excessive loading during operation.
Syntec Diamond Tools designs three categories of surface-preparation tooling—Removal, Grinding, and Polishing. This mini arrow cup wheel is engineered specifically for removal and light grinding applications on coated or contaminated concrete surfaces. For applications involving thicker or more aggressive coatings, a PCD removal tool may be more appropriate: https://syntecsolution.com/product/pcd-cup-wheels/

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a mini arrow cup wheel used for?
A mini arrow cup wheel is used for aggressive removal of coatings, epoxy, mastic, and surface contaminants from concrete surfaces.
Why choose a mini arrow segment instead of a standard arrow segment?
Mini arrow segments have a smaller contact area than standard arrow segments, which concentrates grinding pressure and helps the diamonds bite into coatings more effectively. The smaller segment size also creates more open space between segments, allowing removed material to clear more easily and reducing loading during surface removal.
Can this wheel be used for grinding concrete?
Yes. While primarily designed for coating removal, the mini arrow cup wheel can also be used for light grinding after surface materials have been removed.
Is this wheel suitable for heavy stock removal?
This wheel is best suited for surface removal and preparation. For heavy stock removal or deep grinding, a dedicated grinding cup wheel is typically recommended.
