I want to use this attachment to do some grout removal job, what kind of blade should I use? what's the part nbr in the demo picture? Thanks!

I am not sure of the part number, but the blade that has about 16 teeth per inch,on the front of the cutter, works great for grout...It takes it out like it wasn't even there..

Hello Mr. Efficiency! This is Dr. Tech! :) I used a rotozip with a saw attachment cutting on the back side of the adhesive first. Otherwise, you can use a rotary tool or hacksaw with a fine blade. It doesnt take too much pressure to cut. Use a pencil on the back side of the channel to mark the cut. If you use the channel covers , then the cuts dont have to be perfect. Some installers dont like using the covers in order to give it a seamless look but it takes a steady hand and a near-perfect cut. Also, when installing the channel over/under any trimming, use a thin 12inc ruller as a spacer to allow for the channel covers to be installed. Hope this helps!! Good luck :)

No its for a grinder, it has a female mount not a shaft. Plus its would remove the grout not clean it.

I used this saw for a kitchen backsplash which had ceramic and glass tiles . I used the diamond blade that came with the saw to cut the ceramic only . For all my glass cuts I ordered the 7" QEP Glass Tile Diamond blade which I felt gave me very precise cuts, as my pieces were all 5/8" and the QEP blade was higher quality.

No you will need a grout removal tool. I use one in my multi tool. They also make them for sawzall. Good luck.

About as wide as the blade, about 1/8". About the width of the grout in older bathroom tile. Used it to cut the grout line under tile line in a swimming pool for easier removal to prevent damage to marble plaster. At the time of use during summer of 2014, could not find exactly 4-3/8" blades at Lowe's, but could use whatever the standard is which I think is 4-1/2" Diamond wet cut. ALWAYS use the water hose attachment as not to burn out your blades too soon. Was also able to use it to cut 2" think slabs of soft Indiana limestone. Not all the way through, but enough to make a break line. Was very satisfied with it, but needed extra blades. Did not understand the gimmack of a 4-3/8" blade when 4-1/2" is the standard in the major hardware stores. Hope this helps.

Has anyone ever cut slate tiles with this tool? I'm trying to finish a shower wall, and need to rip 2"x2" slate mosaic tiles that are about a half inch thick. I understand I should get a diamond blade.

If the old grout is crumbly and loose, I would remove it. I did use this product over areas where the grout had receded and was uneven; it has held up well in those areas. Don't try to smooth it with your fingers, use something like an old credit card, hard plastic.

I believe you would be more successful using the scrape blade on one of the reciprocating tools like a Fein Multi tool. I have used mine and had good luck with the removal. You can pick up one of those tools for less than $100. Good luck with whatever you decide to use!

I never looked for that kind of blade for it. The company is very helpful. The string is very thick and we have had no problems cutting through what we needed. You do not want to get close to any siding or metal it will cut holes into this stuff

I Googled it and it looks like you need a SPB-456-2 blade. Gasket sold separately if you need one of those too. You can get the 2B model which is black as another option. Looks like both colors are available on Amazon. Get one that includes gaskets. Hope that helps.

This is a rubber brush on a stick that is best suited to 'rake' hair out of carpet.I do not believe it would be strong enough for grout.

I have used it for sanding and for grout removal. It is an excellent tool for both of those uses. It is not a rotary tool though, it uses a reciprocating motion. If you are trying to make long cuts in concrete a right angle grinder with a diamond cutter would probably be a better choice.

It comes with a Dianond blade for cutting ceramic tile. I use the drop in method and try torning the tile over and cut on the back side. But Im thinking of no chip out on the front. Try the front too. See how that turns out. It is out in my tool house tonight. Ill look at it tomorrow and see what's printed anywhere I can see it. The rpm you want. I love it. Sure made short work of Hardi siding.

How does a jigsaw compare to a table saw? Its not a rotary tool. I find it well suited for precision cuts or cuts in tight spaces; but, not for long or deep cuts. Molding, door frames, sheet metal. I'd use it to remove grout; but wouldn't be my choice concrete.

Carrie,I haven't tried to clean grout using the special attachment. I have done 2 conventional cleanings of my bathroom tile floor with the brush extended under the microfiber pad and it had no visible effect on the grout. It might be easier to do it by hand with a grout sander and then clean up with the mop afterward.

This type of tile cutter can score and "break" glass tile in a straight line which is pretty much the way it works with any type tile, the problem is if you are trying to cut a piece smaller than like 1/2" it doesn't work to well this is where you might need a blade type tile saw. For me I found that it worked ok for smaller jobs but in some cases it just won't give the provisional looking results you may want
