8mm Mortar Rake 660430 – Key FAQs

• What is an 8mm mortar rake used for?
  It’s used to remove old mortar from masonry joints, typically before re-pointing, so the new mortar can bond properly and finish cleanly.

• Will this fit my angle grinder?
  It fits grinders that accept M14 x 2 threaded attachments. Always check your grinder’s thread type and ensure it’s suitable for mortar raking.

• Why is a guide plate recommended?
  A guide plate helps stabilise the grinder, improves control, and helps keep the rake aligned in the joint for a more consistent depth and neater finish.

• Does very hard mortar affect performance?
  Yes. Extremely hard mortar can cause faster wear of the abrasive. Working steadily without excessive pressure helps improve tool life.

• Is this for brickwork only?
  No, it can be used on brick and stonework joints, provided the joint width and mortar type are suitable for an 8mm coarse rake.

• What safety gear should I use?
  Always wear eye protection and a suitable dust mask/respirator, plus hearing protection and gloves. Mortar raking produces heavy dust and debris.
