The EDCO 26020 is the OEM 48-pin traffic-line removal cutter set for the TLR-7 walk-behind line remover, sold as a set of three to fill the TLR-7 drum stack. Pavement-marking contractors, municipal crews, airport line teams, and DOT subs use this set to take old paint, tape, thermoplastic, and epoxy off asphalt and concrete with minimal surface penetration on the parent slab.
Use cases
Municipal pavement-marking crews
Public-works crews remove failed paint and reflective tape during seasonal restriping. The 48-pin cutter set is the workhorse on this rotation.
Parking-lot striping contractors
Striping subs run the TLR-7 with the 26020 set to take down old layouts before relining. Removing the old paint cleanly is the difference between a sharp new line and a ghosted one.
Airport and warehouse line crews
Industrial line crews remove painted runway, taxi, and warehouse forklift lines. The 48-pin set leaves enough surface profile that the new line bonds correctly.
DOT subcontractors
State and county DOT subs that maintain pavement markings use the TLR-7 family because the cutter geometry strips the marking without scarring the slab below the wear surface.

Frequently asked questions
Which machine does the 26020 set fit?
The 26020 cutter set is the OEM 48-pin replacement for the EDCO TLR-7 walk-behind traffic-line remover. The set covers all three drum positions; rotate cutters as a complete set to keep wear even across the drum stack.
Will these cutters take off thermoplastic and epoxy or just paint?
Both. The 48-pin configuration is rated for paint, tape, thermoplastic, and epoxy markings on asphalt and concrete. The pin profile cuts the marking compound without grinding deep into the parent slab.
How long does a cutter set typically last?
Wear depends on the marking material and the substrate. Crews removing paint on asphalt typically get the longest service life; thermoplastic and epoxy on concrete cut harder and wear pins faster. Operators that rotate cutters before they go below the EDCO wear line will extend the drum life materially.
Are these the same cutters as the TR3-48?
Yes. EDCO catalogs the part as 26020 / TR3-48 across price lists; the set of 3 is the standard-issue OEM replacement for the TLR-7 family at this pin count.
Can I run a different pin count on the TLR-7?
EDCO offers different pin configurations to match different removal jobs. Higher pin counts cut more aggressively per pass on hard markings; lower pin counts leave a smoother profile on concrete. Match the pin count to the marking and the substrate; the dealer team can recommend an alternate.
Discount Cleaning Products is an authorized EDCO dealer. The 26020 set ships from the EDCO replacement-parts network, and US-based customer service can recommend an alternate pin count for harder substrate or specific marking materials, walk through the wear-line check, and source the rest of the TLR-7 maintenance kit when the drum stack needs full service.
