Alpha Spike Disc
Alpha Spike Disc is a cutting-edge tool featuring a diamond-clustered design that uses multi-layer vacuum-brazed diamond grits for superior performance. Engineered to remove thick coating materials such as Epoxy and Urethane from concrete floors, it works quickly and efficiently without damaging the concrete surface—unlike traditional PCD cup wheels. This eliminates the need for additional grinding, saving both time and effort.
Its innovative open-mesh diamond layout prevents clogging and reduces heat buildup, avoiding burns on metal surfaces. Versatile and durable, the Spike Disc can also be used on steel, wood, and softer materials like Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) and Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP). A must-have tool for restoration projects, the Alpha Spike Disc delivers speed, precision, and reliability every time.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the Spike Disc last compared with other abrasive products?
It depends on the application and the product as well as your definition of the end of life on a conventional abrasive since they don’t retain tool dimensions. General indication of life span is up to 50 to 60 times of the conventional abrasives.
Can you remove sticky mastic or glue?
Yes, you can if the mastic or glue is very sticky, you may start experiencing clogging problems even on Spike Disc. Alpha® recommends grinding a concrete block or cinder block when you notice a slowdown of performance to remove sticky materials from the cutting edge.
Can I use it with water to eliminate dust?
Yes, you can use Spike Disc with water to keep dust down.
What is the difference in performance between Polycrystalline Diamond Cup Wheel and Spike Disc for coating removal?
Polycrystalline Diamond Cup Wheel (PCD cup wheel) has sharp scrapers as scraping teeth that may gauge concrete surface or leave heavy scratch marks. If you need to stain concrete or apply a new coat of paint, you have to grind the surface to make it flat then smooth the surface which is an additional step for the surface preparation.
How do we eliminate dust during the application?
Alpha® offers the Ecoguard G which will retrofit on most industrial grade 4-1/2” and 5” grinders. You can use the HEPA vacuum in conjunction with Spike Disc and Ecoguard to enjoy virtually dust-free grinding application.
Can I use it on Alpha® Ecogrinder with Square arbor?
Yes you can. Alpha® offers 5” Spike Disc suitable for ECG-125. (Part No. VCS503Q)
What kind of tool can I use with Spike Disc?
You can use Spike Disc on High-Speed Angle Grinder, Sander and Polisher. The original flange & lock nut with the wrench provided work well or you can simply get Spike Disc with disposable zinc hub with 5/8”-11 female thread so that you can spin the disc on and off using the spindle lock.
