Irwin 10507267 Mortar Rake Starter Kit, 8mm

Product Information

It is less intrusive to surrounding brickwork and is a good alternative to working with demolition chisels or grinding discs, which can easily cause damage. The IRWIN carbide tipped mortar rake kit is a power tool accessory for the fast and efficient removal of mortar and cement joints in brickwork repointing applications and for chasing out channels for the installation of cable, pipes and switchboxes. This should permit faster removal and cause less stress on the angle grinder, in addition to ensuring maximum dust control and debris collection (see next question). These European-manufactured tungsten carbide mortar rakes fit directly to the M14 spindle on 115 and 125 mm angle grinders. First review was one star: "I cannot see any evidence of tungsten on the blades which are soft steel similar to say a 99p screwdriver.

For a while now I’ve been using the diamond bits which are ok, but these are much better, the only thing you have to be mindful off is that when taking out soft bricks it does occasionally shoot off into the brick so not as much control as the diamond tips. By contrast, it is likely a 6 cutter rake will provide smoother operation on harder mortars, even though it may not cut any faster. There is manufacturer warranty for this product which covers all manufacturing defects for the normal lifetime of the tool but does not cover wear and tear or damaged cause by misuse.

Superior design Mortar Raking attachment for small angle grinders combining dust and depth control functions.

When coupled with a suitable dust extractor (vacuum unit) substantially dust free operation will be achieved and the waste debris will also be collected. With exception of items listed below the Termite attachment will fit most Bosch, Hikoki (Hitachi), Makita, Metabo and DeWalt 115 mm or 125 mm angle grinders. For deep cuts, it is probably best to make the initial cut with the standard 26 mm long rake and follow up with the same diameter of XL rake.
