grout removal
 

Ok whats the best way to remove this stuff any help is greatly appreciated....Chris

from what?
In mortar joints? on used brick? on floors?

or?

all I know is from used bricks , you just knock it off with a hammer holding the brick in one hand...

if on stone/tile floors you can chisel it off, but dep,. on what its on...

you need to describe more.

Sorry bout that your right its floor tile grout I have a hand held grout tool that u manually cut the grout out just looking for some kind of other source of removal....

Go buy yourself a Dremel... If you don't have one. Dremel makes a grout bit for grout removal...:D

It will save you a lot of time, but I warn you......

You better wear a dust mask :gag:

Try a tool like this. It attaches to a Dremel tool.

Or this blade that you can put on your grinder.

X2 on the dust mask

That is not a blade for a grinder,it is for a Fein multitool which vibrates.
Dremel does make a multitool now which is much less expensive than the Fein,the multitool would probably work better than the rotary tool.
If you do go with the rotary tool,get quite a few bits.

Thanks for the correction. Just trying to help.

No problem,I just wouldn't want him to get that blade and put it on a grinder.

Just went on the link to Johnbridge guys suggested diamond blade on a grinder tried that and its the cats ass it will take out the majority of it then I can fine tune by hand thanks people for the help..Chris

Oh and went and got some masks too

That will work but be carefull that the grinder doesn't get away from you and scar the tile.
If you have someone to help you,get them to hold a vacuum next to the grinder to suck up most of the dust.
If you don't do that,it will get so dusty that you will have trouble seeing.
Make sureyou cover everything.

I'll be careful slow and easy and thats what the wife is for holding on to the hose....

why are you removing the grout? if its the color you don't like you can dye it.i se a razor knife held at an angle.
