Tuck Point Blades

A tuck point blade is a specialized diamond blade used in masonry work, primarily for tuckpointing—removing old or damaged mortar from between bricks, stones, or blocks and replacing it with new mortar to restore the integrity and appearance of the structure.

These blades are also used on concrete floors to create channels for pipe installation, such as in underground heating systems.

Designed for durability and precision, tuck point blades efficiently remove mortar without damaging surrounding masonry. They come in various configurations, including single-blade, double-blade, and sandwich designs, each tailored to different levels of efficiency and speed.

We offer several types of tuck point blades to suit various applications:

1. Normal Segment Blades: Standard design, cost-effective for general tuckpointing tasks.
2. Roof Segment Blades: Features a raised “roof” on the segment for precise starting points and detailed work.
3. Single-Blade Designs: Ideal for straightforward tasks requiring precision.
4. Double-Blade Designs: Provides increased efficiency and speed for more intensive work.
5. Sandwich Designs: Combines multiple segments for enhanced performance and durability.

Each type is available in various diameters, segment thicknesses, and arbor sizes to match your specific needs.

In our buying guide for choosing the right tuck point blades, we listed 5 things you may need to know. Here we introduce it briefly.

1. Cutting Width and Depth (Diameter & Segment Thickness): Determine the specific cutting width and depth required for your project. Tuck point blades come in various diameters, such as 4″/100mm to 6″/150mm, and segment thicknesses, which should be selected based on your needs.

2. Connection (Arbor): Ensure that the arbor size matches your machine for safe and efficient operation. Common sizes include 20mm, 22.23mm, M14, and 5/8″-11.

3. Segment Type: Choose between normal segments, which are cost-effective for general tasks, and roof segments, which offer precision and control for detailed work.

4. Side Teeth or Not: Blades with side teeth are ideal for tougher jobs, providing additional cutting power and better debris removal, while blades without side teeth are suited for precise, delicate work.

5. Bond Type: Select the bond type based on the hardness of the material you’re working with, similar to how you would choose bonds for concrete grinding diamonds. This ensures the blade performs optimally for your specific application.

Yes, tuck point blades can be used for other applications beyond traditional tuckpointing:

1. Concrete Floor Grooving: They can create channels in concrete floors for installing pipes or other utilities, often referred to as crack chaser blades in this context.

2. Masonry Repairs: Besides tuckpointing, they can be used for cleaning out old mortar and preparing joints for new mortar in various masonry repair tasks.

3. Grout Removal: They are effective for removing old grout from between tiles during renovation projects.

4. Cutting and Routing: In some cases, they can be used for cutting and routing cementitious materials for specific construction needs.

While designed primarily for mortar removal and masonry work, their versatility can make them useful in these additional applications.

The difference between single, double, and sandwich tuck point blades lies in their design and efficiency.

• Single-Blade Tuck Point Blades are tailored for tasks like grout repair and cleaning, where precise removal of mortar between masonry joints is needed. They are suitable for jobs that require careful, methodical work.

• Double-Blade Tuck Point Blades perform the same tasks but feature an additional blade, which speeds up the process. This design is ideal when you need to complete projects faster while maintaining the same level of precision.

• Triple Sandwich Tuck Point Blades take efficiency a step further with three blades. This design maximizes performance, making it the best choice when speed and efficiency are top priorities.

Each type of blade is designed to meet specific needs, allowing you to choose the one that best fits the demands of your project.

Yes, tuckpointing projects require specific cutting width and depth, so tuck point blades are highly customizable. You can customize various aspects, including:

• Diameter: Choose from a range of diameters to match your specific needs.
• Segment Thickness: Customize segment thickness based on cutting depth requirements.
• Arbor Size: Select the arbor size that fits your equipment for optimal performance.
• Segment Type: Opt for normal or roof segments depending on your application.
• Side Teeth: Decide whether you need blades with or without side teeth for additional cutting power or precision.

Feel free to provide your specifications or requirements, and we can work on creating a blade tailored to your needs.

We offer two main OEM services for our tuck point blades: color painting and label printing. Label printing includes your logo, specifications, and more. For bulk orders, we also provide OEM packaging services.
