Quick Answer

A professional floor prep crew needs four tooling sets: PCD discs for coating removal, metal-bond 30/46 for heavy grinding, metal-bond 120/200 for fine grinding, and resin pads for polishing. Buying them in bulk from a factory supplier cuts tooling cost by 40-60% compared with branded retail.

What to Buy in Bulk

• PCD discs: high consumption, especially if you do a lot of epoxy removal.
• 30/46 metal bond: the workhorse, used on every job.
• Redi-Lock adapters if you run Husqvarna or compatible machines.
• Spare arbor hardware and belts.

How to Control Tooling Cost

• Buy direct from a factory in Xiamen, not through a local distributor.
• Order by the container or by the pallet, not by the box.
• Match the bond to your local concrete. Wrong bond wastes money faster than the per-unit price difference.
• Track tool life per m2. If a disc drops below expected output, switch bond.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What MOQ do factories accept?

Usually 50-100 pieces per item for standard tooling; private-label orders start at 500 pieces.

Q: How do I test a new supplier?

Order a sample set, run it on a known slab, and compare life and scratch pattern against your current brand.

Q: Should I stock PCD or metal bond?

Both. Every job needs metal bond; PCD sits on the truck for coating-removal calls.

Conclusion

Floor prep is a tooling business. Carrying the four core sets and buying them factory-direct is the fastest way to protect margins. contact JOY TECH for a wholesale tooling list.
