Sandwich Tuck Point Diamond Blade – Double & Triple Layer

1. Sandwich Tuck Point Diamond Blade, Double and triple-layer designs for fast, wide mortar removal.

The Alskar Sandwich Tuck Point Diamond Blade is designed for professional masonry contractors who need faster removal of deteriorated mortar, grout and joint material.

Unlike a conventional single-layer tuck point blade, the sandwich-style construction uses multiple cutting layers to create a wider kerf while maintaining controlled joint geometry.

This makes the blade especially effective for:

Tuck Pointing
Repointing
Mortar Joint Cleaning
Grout Removal
Masonry Restoration
Wide Joint Preparation

The two configurations allow contractors to select the appropriate cutting width according to the existing joint and required repair channel.

2. Two Layer Configurations

The double-layer .250″ configuration is designed for standard mortar-joint cleaning, while the triple-layer .375″ version provides a wider cutting profile for heavier mortar removal and larger masonry joints.

Double-Layer — .250″

Cutting Width

.250″ / 1/4″ / 6.35mm

Recommended for:

• Standard mortar joints
• General tuck pointing
• Repointing preparation
• Mortar joint cleaning
• Controlled material removal

Recommended positioning:

Balanced cutting width for everyday professional tuck pointing and mortar removal.

Layered construction provides a stable .250″ cutting profile for professional masonry joint cleaning.

Triple-Layer — .375″

Cutting Width

.375″ / 3/8″ / approximately 9.5mm

Recommended for:

• Wide mortar joints
• Heavy mortar removal
• Larger masonry joints
• Aggressive joint preparation
• Restoration projects requiring a wider repair channel

Recommended positioning:

Wider 3/8″ cutting profile for aggressive mortar removal and large joint preparation.

3. Why Sandwich Construction?

Wider Controlled Kerf

Multiple cutting layers create a defined wide groove in one pass.

Stable Cutting Profile

The layered design helps maintain a consistent kerf across masonry joints.

Efficient Material Removal

A wide cutting profile removes more mortar or grout per pass than a conventional thin masonry blade.

Application-Specific Widths

Contractors can choose between:

.250″ Standard Joint Width
.375″ Wide Joint Width

3. 10mm Diamond Segments

Both configurations use 10mm diamond segments to provide substantial usable cutting depth for repeated professional tuck-pointing and masonry restoration work.

4. Wide Segment / Layered Design

• 2 Layers → .250″
• 3 Layers → .375″

5. Arbor

The blade uses a 7/8″ arbor with 5/8″ reducer for compatibility with common professional grinder and masonry saw setups using the appropriate blade size and guard configuration.
