Best tool for commercial tile removal - TilersForums.com

Hi all

What tool does everyone use to remove grout from existing floor tiles in order to remove and replace individual tiles?

Getting a few of these jobs and the grinder followed with the vac is too fiddly, slow and kicking out too much dust....

Cheers

A Fein or other variable speed multi cutter is best for domestic situations but IMO a variable speed grinder with a decent blade, steady hand and vacuum is best for large areas.

Ive used a hilti wall chaser before which we hired. Just trying to eliminate the dust from using the grinder and vac.
