STI EG Carbide Cutters for Adhesive Removal

STI EG Carbide Cutters are aggressive carbide-tipped tooling built for adhesive removal — they tear through carpet glue, mastic, and soft, gummy coatings that clog and wear out diamond tooling. Mounted on your Prep/Master® machine with the patented EG attachment, they take 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

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 those gummy jobs, carbide is the right tool; for hard coatings like thick epoxy, reach for PCD tooling.

Features

• Carbide-tipped cutters for aggressive adhesive removal
• Patented EG attachment for Prep/Master® machines
• Ideal for carpet glue, mastic, and soft coatings
• Saves your diamond tooling from gumming up

STI EG Carbide Cutters for Adhesive Removal

Carbide Cutters attached to a trap style tool with STI EG quick change backing to fit PrepMaster machines. With a PrepMaster rotary style machine, equal number of “right” and “left” rotation tools are needed.

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 carbide cutters best for? Soft, sticky materials — carpet glue, mastic, soft coatings — that clog diamond tooling.

Carbide or PCD? Carbide for soft/gummy adhesives; PCD for hard coatings like epoxy. Use the right one and the job goes faster.

What machines do they fit? Prep/Master machines via the EG attachment — call with your machine and we’ll confirm.
