Lavina EG Carbide Cutters for Adhesive Removal

Lavina EG Carbide Cutters are aggressive carbide-tipped tooling for adhesive removal — built to fit Lavina grinders. They tear through carpet glue, mastic, and soft, gummy coatings that clog and wear out diamond tooling, taking a glued or coated floor down to clean concrete fast.

What They Remove

• Carpet glue and adhesives
• Mastic and tile adhesive
• Soft, gummy coatings that gum up diamond tooling
• Built-up residue and contaminants

Built for Lavina Grinders

These carbide cutters are made to fit Lavina machines — aggressive adhesive removal on the grinder you already run. (Running a Prep/Master instead? See our STI EG Carbide Cutters.)

Carbide Cutters vs. Diamond Tooling

Soft, sticky materials like carpet glue and mastic load up and glaze diamond tooling — carbide cutters slice through them instead, removing them far faster. For gummy jobs, carbide is the right tool; for hard coatings like thick epoxy, reach for PCD tooling.

Carbide Cutters for Adhesive Removal

Carbide Cutters attached to a trap style tool with quick change backing to fit planetary machines. With a Lavina propane grinder you will need left rotation and electric grinders need right rotation, with a few exceptions.

Carpet adhesive can be pretty stingy to remove if it’s thick and somewhat fresh. Diamond segments and sand can be used, but carbide slicers are often the better choice.

Like a blade, the carbide edge pushes the soft glue from the surface of the concrete. A diamond segment wants to drag the glue and partially redeposits it.

Yellow glue is latex-based. That means water will soften it and keep friction heat from clogging the blades and slowing production. Black glue is petroleum-based. Water won’t do anything to soften the glue, but it will keep the glue from getting hot and turning sticky.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are these best for? Soft, sticky materials — carpet glue, mastic, soft coatings — that clog diamond tooling.

Will they fit my Lavina? Yes — they’re made for Lavina grinders. Call with your model and we’ll confirm.

Carbide or PCD? Carbide for soft/gummy adhesives; PCD for hard coatings like epoxy.
