Mini Grout Removal Bit 1.6mm X 2.3mm
Tip Diameter: Ø1.6mm
Shank Diameter: Ø2.3mm
This Mini Grout Removal Bit is a specialized precision tool designed to restore the look of tiled surfaces by removing old, discolored, or damaged grout with surgical accuracy. Featuring an ultra-slim 1.6mm cutting diameter and a 2.3mm shank, this bit is specifically engineered for use with high-speed rotary tools. Its remarkably thin profile makes it the ultimate solution for cleaning out narrow grout lines where standard removal tools are simply too wide, allowing you to refresh your tiling without the risk of chipping the surrounding edges.
The bit is constructed from high-strength materials optimized for the abrasive nature of grout and mortar. The cutting geometry is designed to grind away material effectively while providing maximum visibility of the workspace. This "micro" sizing is particularly advantageous for intricate mosaic work, bathroom renovations, or repairing small sections of floor and wall tiles. Because it is designed for controlled material removal, it allows the user to follow the path of the grout line with ease, ensuring a clean, deep channel that is perfectly prepared for the application of new grout.
Beyond residential repair, this bit is an excellent choice for restoration projects and craft applications involving masonry or stone. The 2.3mm shank is compatible with a wide variety of precision rotary tool collets, ensuring a secure fit and reduced vibration at high speeds. This stability is crucial when working in tight spaces where one slip could damage a delicate tile. The bit's ability to "v-streamline" into thin gaps ensures that even the most stubborn, hard-to-reach debris is cleared away quickly and efficiently.
Whether you are performing a localized repair on a kitchen backsplash or embarking on a full-scale bathroom refresh, this 1.6mm grout removal bit offers the professional-grade finesse required for a high-definition finish. It turns a traditionally laborious task into a fast, mechanical process, giving you the power to revitalize your tiled surfaces with minimal effort and maximum precision.

The shank of the rotary cutter is securely locked in place by fitting it in the corresponding collet or making use of a keyless chuck.
Rotation speed:
Most rotary tools have the benefit to adjust the rotation speed. Many tool bits that fit in rotary tools have a maximum speed setting. This can normally be found on the packaging.
All materials react differently to speed and will need the tool bit to rotate slower. It is recommended to start using accessories on the slower speed first, before increasing the speed as needed.
The diameter of the tool bit fitted also determines the rotation speed. The larger the diameter, the slower the speed. If the speed is set too high, it could bend the shank/shaft resulting in injury.
