120mm Tuck Point Grinder Blade with Side Teeth

Description

Over time, mortar joints in masonry—such as those made from bricks, stones, terra cotta, or cinder blocks—can erode and crack. To address this issue, you’ll need to replace the mortar through a process known as tuckpointing.

This 120mm tuck point grinder blade features protective teeth on each side, safeguarding the core and enhancing tuck pointing efficiency. We offer a variety of bonds to match the hardness of your concrete, ensuring optimal performance. Each segment is meticulously welded for balance, minimizing the risk of segment loss.

Our tuckpointing blades, also called tuck blades, are diamond blades designed for quick and efficient mortar removal. By grinding out the old mortar deeply, you create space to pack in new mortar, resulting in a smooth joint profile. A thorough grind with a pointing grinder blade will not only enhance the durability of your project but also bond the masonry together effectively, preventing weather from infiltrating the walls and compromising the structure’s integrity.

Key information for tuck point grinder blade

Tuck point grinder blades are specialized tools designed for tuck-pointing concrete floors. When selecting a blade, consider these four essential factors:

1. Blade diameter

The diameter is crucial as it determines compatibility with your cutting machine and influences the cutting depth required for your project. Choose the blade diameter based on your equipment and the specific depth you need to achieve.

2. Segment width

The width of the segments is another important specification. It directly affects the cutting width, making it vital to match the segment width to the needs of your project alongside the desired cutting depth.

3. Bond type

The grinding process involved in tuck-pointing requires selecting the right bond type to match the concrete’s hardness. We offer various bond options tailored for different concrete strengths:

• Extremely Soft Bond: For extremely hard concrete
• Very Soft Bond: For very hard concrete
• Soft Bond: For hard concrete
• Medium Bond: For medium concrete
• Hard Bond: For soft concrete
• Very Hard Bond: For very soft concrete

4. Side teeth

Our tuck point grinder blades come with the option of side protective teeth. Typically, these teeth are spaced apart to enhance performance. Although they may increase the cost, side teeth offer several benefits:

• Increased Durability: They protect the blade core, enhancing longevity, especially when cutting tough materials or reducing the risk of blade pinching.
• Cleaner Cuts: Side teeth stabilize the blade, resulting in more precise cuts and minimizing wobbling.

By considering these factors, you can choose the right tuck point grinder blade for your needs.
