Mortar Raking Diamond Blade – Toolpak Premium

The Toolpak Premium Mortar Raking Diamond Blade is built for one job, and it does it well. Fitted to a 115mm angle grinder, it cuts cleanly through perished or damaged cement mortar between bricks and stone blocks, clearing the way for fresh re-pointing work. If you have used a standard cutting disc for this before, you will know how quickly things go wrong. A dedicated toolpak mortar raking diamond blade makes the job faster, cleaner, and far less likely to clip the face of the brick.

The 7.0mm wide turbo segments are the key feature here. That extra width suits mortar joints properly, giving you the clearance needed to rake out material without having to make multiple passes or fight to keep the blade tracking straight. Turbo-style segment geometry helps with debris clearance too, so the blade keeps cutting rather than loading up with dust and slowing down.

The steel body is 3.5mm thick. That matters on a raking blade more than on a standard cutting disc, because you are not just cutting in a straight line. The blade takes lateral pressure as you follow the joint, and a thinner body would flex and wear unevenly. This one holds its shape, which keeps the cut width consistent and extends blade life considerably compared to cheaper alternatives.

Where the Toolpak Mortar Raking Diamond Blade Earns Its Place

Re-pointing is bread-and-butter work for bricklayers and restoration crews, but the prep is where most of the time goes. Getting the old mortar out to the right depth, without damaging the brick arris, takes the right tool. This blade removes enough material in a single pass to give a proper key for new mortar, which is exactly what a re-pointing job needs to last.

It also sees use on stone block walls where the joint profile is slightly irregular. The turbo segment design copes reasonably well with minor variation in joint depth, keeping the cut moving rather than stalling when the going gets uneven.

A Note on Angle Grinder Setup

For raking work, a steady hand matters more than speed. Running the grinder at a controlled pace, with the guard properly positioned, gives you better visibility of the joint line and reduces the chance of the blade walking onto the brick face. Take your time on the first pass.

At this price point, the Toolpak Premium Mortar Raking Diamond Blade represents genuinely good value for a dedicated raking blade. Buy a spare if you have a big re-pointing job on. You will not regret it.
