Product Description
Milwaukee 4-1/2 in. Tuck Point Segmented Diamond Blade
Model Number: 49-93-7405
The Milwaukee 49-93-7405 is a 4-1/2 in. Tuck Point Segmented Diamond Blade for use with 4-1/2 in. angle grinders — a specialty diamond blade for removing deteriorated mortar from brick, block, and stone masonry joints before repointing with fresh mortar. The tuck point blade's narrow profile is specifically dimensioned to fit into standard mortar joints — the blade width is matched to standard mortar joint widths for clean, consistent joint removal to the correct depth without unnecessarily widening the joint beyond the mortar opening width or cutting into the adjacent masonry units. The segmented rim provides the debris clearance needed during mortar removal as the blade grinds through the mortar material between the masonry units, and the diamond segment specification is tuned for the moderate abrasion of mortar rather than the extreme hardness of dense concrete or the toughness of ductile metal.
Proper tuck pointing requires removing the deteriorated mortar to adequate depth — typically 3/4 in. to 1 in. — for the new mortar to bond and weather effectively. The tuck point diamond blade provides consistent joint removal depth at controlled width for professional tuck pointing results that match the original joint profile. Masonry tuck pointing generates substantial silica dust — always use appropriate respiratory protection, eye protection, and consider vacuum extraction for dust control during tuck pointing operations. The blade is designed specifically for mortar removal and is not intended for brick or concrete cutting applications where standard diamond saw blades are the appropriate tool.
