Why Delta Diamonds' Tuck Pointing Blades Are the Best Choice
Our diamond tuck pointing blades are ideal for cutting and removing mortar, grout, and other materials between bricks, stones, and other masonry. Whether you need to restore old masonry, repair cracks, or perform precision work on new installations, our diamond tuck point blades deliver clean and efficient cuts. Choose between two types. A single-style tuck pointing blade is best for large jobs, lasts longer and can cut concrete. A sandwiched-style diamond tuck point blade cuts faster and is best used for tuckpointing jobs only.
Because they're constructed with high-quality industrial diamonds, our tuck pointing blades withstand rigorous use, providing extended blade life and consistent performance. This durability translates to fewer blade changes and lower overall costs, making them a cost-effective choice for professionals and DIYers alike.
Rounding out our list of benefits is the precise design of these blades, which ensures smooth and accurate cuts and reduces the risk of damage to surrounding materials. In restoration work, this precision is essential for maintaining the integrity of the original structure.
What Diamond Tuck Point Blades Are Used For
Our diamond tuck point blades are specialized cutting tools used in masonry work, specifically for tasks related to brick and mortar. The primary purpose of tuck pointing is to repair or replace the mortar joints between bricks. Here's how these tuck pointing tools are used:
- Mortar Removal: A tuck pointing blade removes old or deteriorated mortar from between bricks. The blades come in varying thicknesses allowing for precise and efficient removal of mortar without damaging the surrounding bricks.
- Joint Preparation: After removing the old mortar, tuck point blades help prepare the joints for repointing. They create a clean and uniform groove or channel in the mortar joint, providing a suitable surface for applying new mortar.
- Repointing: Repointing involves filling the cleaned mortar joints with fresh mortar. The blades help create a consistent depth and width for the new mortar, ensuring a neat and uniform appearance.
- Restoration Work: A tuck pointing blade is commonly used in historic restoration projects to maintain the original appearance of brick structures. It allows artisans to carefully remove damaged or deteriorated mortar and replace it with new material.
- Aesthetic Improvements: In some cases, tuck pointing is done for aesthetic reasons. The blades help create decorative patterns or designs in the mortar joints, enhancing the visual appeal of the brickwork.
Why Diamonds and Saw Blades Make a Brilliant Match
Diamonds are used in saw blades due to their extraordinary hardness and resilience, making them perfect for cutting through extremely tough materials. In these blades, tiny, durable diamonds are embedded within the metal matrix of the blade's segments. This embedding process allows the diamonds to efficiently grind through materials such as concrete reinforced with rebar, stone, and asphalt.
Rather than slicing in the conventional sense, diamond blades work by grinding down the material at high speeds. This grinding action wears away the material and simultaneously reveals new diamonds within the blade segments, ensuring continuous cutting efficiency. The exceptional cutting power of diamond blades stems from the continuous exposure of fresh diamonds, maintaining their sharpness and effectiveness throughout use.
