5.0 out of 5 stars The perfect tool for the job, July 11, 2009

This review is from: Dremel MM501 1/16-Inch Multi-Max Carbide Grout Blade (Tools & Home Improvement)

I got this blade to remove some damaged grout and to remove grout from around a broken floor tile in the kitchen. These are heavy tiles, so the grout is thick and about 3/8 inch wide.

My wife was really concerned that I would end up cutting into or otherwise damage good tile. Never a problem.

This was absolutely effortless, fast, and allowed surgical precision. No kidding. The control this offered was astounding. Since the tool doesn't rotate, it can't grab or run. It goes ONLY where you want it to go.

Also, since it doesn't rotate, it doesn't kick up a cloud of dust. This is not to say there is no dust - there is. But, it stays right in the area you are cutting. One tip here is to keep a small paint brush handy to gently brush back the little bit of dust from around your work area to keep your work clearly visible. From there, a quick vacuum hose will pick up the dust.

After a couple of minutes, the grout was completely cleared and my skeptical wife was amazed that this tool could go right to the edge of the tile and do it perfectly without touching the tile. It is THAT good.

I got the 1/16 inch blade in case I need to do narrow grout work in the bathrooms, but if you are working on broader grouting, you may want to opt for the 1/8 inch blade.

This review is from: Dremel MM501 1/16-Inch Multi-Max Carbide Grout Blade (Tools & Home Improvement)

This was perfect for my shower and counter tiles. They have thin grout lines and so obviously the 1/16th blade was the right one for that. Floor tiles would usually require the 1/8th size.

The carbide grits held up for about an hour of work and still are fine. I even used it flat like a rasp to modify some saltino (pretty soft) tiles and that worked well. I wish Dremel had a true rasp like some other companies offer to grind down the thinset under the tiles you remove.

This sort of tool and blade is not for huge nasty demolition jobs, you would want an angle-grinder and diamond blade for that, but it is great for renewing a few grout lines, allowing a couple of tiles to be removed without damaging the others, all without a room full of dust.

This accessory is not overly expensive for what it does and also because it will likely last for a long time in typical homeowner use.

I'm not sure this could be a whole lot better, so it gets five whole stars.

This review is from: Dremel MM501 1/16-Inch Multi-Max Carbide Grout Blade (Tools & Home Improvement)

This product worked perfectly to remove grout that a tile installer had used in corner joints in a shower that were too small for the 1/8 blade that came with the tool. It quickly removed the grout so I could replace it with caulk and stop the leak caused by cracked grout. One of the best purchases of a tool for a specific project I have made.
