Description
The 7 inch Taz disk is a flat, silicon carbide abrasive designed for safe, damage-free removal of coatings like mastic, urethane, thinset, and more on concrete or wood surfaces.— without damaging the concrete surface beneath. It’s a more cost-effective alternative to the Zec disk, offering similar performance with a 7/8” arbor hole.
These abrasive disks use silicon carbide chunks for consistent cutting without scratching or gouging surfaces. They’re flat and non-dished, making them ideal for use with dust shrouds like the Dust Avenger, especially when paired with a TALL AVM adapter nut.
The Taz Disk lasts 1–2 hours under typical use, covering several hundred square feet depending on pressure and surface condition. It’s perfect for contractors working on coating removal, wood prep, or automotive restoration. The Taz Disk works well on both residential and commercial job sites. Whether you’re stripping a garage floor or preparing a warehouse slab, this abrasive performs reliably without damaging concrete. Its affordable price and easy compatibility make it a go-to choice for professionals who need effective coating removal without the high cost.
Grit options:
-
16 grit – Most popular. Best all-around for coatings under 1/8” thick.
-
8 grit – For thick or stubborn coatings above 1/8”.
-
24 or 36 grit – Use when 16 grit feels too aggressive or you need finer finish control.
For floors over 1/8″ thick coating, you may need to grind lightly with a diamond cupwheel afterward to prep for a new coating. This ensures proper adhesion if you’re recoating the surface.
If you’re unsure which grit to choose — go with 16 grit. It’s the most versatile and forgiving option.
The Taz Disk is widely trusted for mastic removal, fiberglass prep, urethane stripping, and heavy-duty coating removal. Affordable, reliable, and simple to use, it’s a great tool for any surface preparation arsenal. Many contractors choose the 7 inch Taz disk as a Zec alternative due to its consistent performance and low cost. Use the 7 inch Taz disk with a dust shroud and AVM nut for the best results.
