SINGLE Rotating Blaster Disc
Tercoo is a rotating disc for the removal of paint, rust, mill scale,
welding slag, tar, epoxy and adhesives from materials such as steel,
iron, fiberglass, concrete or stone. Tercoo provides the correct surface
preparation for the proper adhesion of new protective coatings.
Tercoo is a natural rubber disc with 12 tungsten carbide tips.
Centrifugal force causes the flexible rubber disc to react so that it
creates a hammer effect similar to sandblasting. The flexibility
ensures that the tips clean the surface perfectly.
- The rotating blaster discs have these advantages over sandblasting:
- no set up time
- easier to use in smaller, confined areas
- this method is portable
- do not have to bring the job to the sandblaster
- a much cleaner work environment both during and upon completion of the job
- just as fast or faster than sandblasting
Tercoo rotating discs do not create any heat, so tough materials such
as tar, adhesives and sealants will be easily removed. No matter what
the coating, Tercoo always cleans and the airborne particulates are
tremendously reduced compared to other methods.
Tercoo removes rust. Since no heat is created, Tercoo rotating blaster discs open the metal pores to pull out rust. Wire brushes, wire fingers and flap wheels remove some surface rust, but the heat generated closes the metal pores and imbeds unremoved rust that will eventually rise through the surface coating.
features:
- A SINGLE disc covers at least a 3 square meter area with proper use and dependent upon the material being removed
- Tercoo SINGLE, DOUBLE and TRIPLE discs are powered by either an electric drill, an air die grinder or air drill operating at no more than 3000 rpm. The optimal operating speed is 2500 - 3000 rpm
- The Tercoo SINGLE rotating blaster disc will work in contoured areas. Slow your power source down to approximately 1,000 – 1,250 rpm. This will reduce the centrifugal force and allow the disc to flex and clean without chattering.
applications:
- Shipping
Tercoo rotating blaster discs are excellent for maintaining your boat or
ship. Remove old paint, rust, tar and the build-up of contaminants.
- Offshore
Tercoo rotating blaster discs are excellent for repairing and maintaining
offshore installations where waterproof coatings are present.
- Manufacturing
Tercoo rotating blaster discs are excellent for removing mill scale
before or after welding and prior to painting.
- Industry
Tercoo rotating blaster discs are excellent for cleaning welding seams,
even in small spaces, because few or no sparks are created.
- Construction
Tercoo rotating blaster discs are excellent for cleaning concrete and
rubber where chlorine compounds are now used.
- Autobody
Tercoo rotating blaster discs are excellent for dealing with rust in
bumpers, doors, beams and welds. Tercoo also removes undercoating.
- Fiberglass
Tercoo rotating blaster discs used with the Tercoo Guide depth control
and dust containment system provide superior results.

use and safety:
- ALWAYS wear goggles, work gloves, a dust mask, protective
clothing and hearing protection
- NEVER exceed 4,000 rpm disc speed
- DO NOT use the Tercoo rotating blaster on edges or raised surfaces
- DO NOT clean bolts, nuts, rivets or heavily pitted surfaces
- DO NOT move the Tercoo rotating blaster disc across raised welds or welded seam areas
- NEVER operate the Tercoo rotating blaster disc from a lower surface going up and over an edge to a higher surface
- DO NOT operate the Tercoo rotating blaster disc on a diamond plate surface
- DO NOT use the Tercoo® rotating blaster disc on an electric drill
with a hammer feature that is engaged. Disengage the hammer feature prior to use
- DO NOT use the Tercoo rotating blaster disc to clean precision mating surfaces such as cylinder heads and cylinder blocks
- The use of all Tercoo products is solely at the risk of the purchaser and/or operator. Tercoo, Tercoo America and all distributors of Tercoo products do not accept any liability for personal injury or consequential damages. Damage to any object on which a Tercoo® product is used is the sole responsibility of the purchaser and/or operator
- The Tercoo rotating blaster disc(s) work best if moved in a slightly
elliptical motion when going back and forth across the work surface
- Operate the Tercoo rotating blaster disc(s) at a 90 degree angle relative
to the direction in which the carbide tips are pointed. This is the same direction in which the disc shaft is pointed
- The Tercoo SINGLE rotating blaster disc will work in contoured areas. Slow your power source down to approximately 1,000 – 1,250 rpm. This will reduce the centrifugal force and allow the disc to flex and clean without chattering
- Mount the Tercoo rotating blaster disc in the power source as directed by the literature supplied by the tool manufacturer
- The Tercoo rotating blaster disc should always be used at a 90 degree angle relative to the work surface
- Apply minimal pressure to the work surface. More pressure equals more wear which will reduce the life of the rotating blaster disc(s)
- If there is a seam or weld in the work surface then the rotating blaster disc should be moved in a direction parallel to the weld or seam without crossing the weld or seam perpendicularly
- Where two plates overlap creating an edge, assuming you are properly using the Tercoo rotating blaster disc(s) in a CLOCKWISE direction, you can move the disc(s) from the higher area to the lower area, but NEVER from lower area to the higher area
