Abstract
A cutting and grinding tool for removing grout from between tiles comprises a rotatable cutting disc formed with a plurality of radially extending teeth about the circumference of the disc. A drive gear engagable with the teeth is rotated by a power drill to exert a drive force to rotate the cutting disc. The disc teeth serve a dual function of performing a cutting and grinding operation and transmitting the drive force of the drive gear to rotate to the disc. The tool is simple in construction, reliable in operation and easy to control in order to efficiently remove grout from between tiles.
Claims19
A cutting and grinding tool comprising:
- a rotatable cutting disc rotatable about an axis, the cutting disc being formed with a plurality of radially extending teeth about the circumference of the disc;
- a drive gear rotatable about another axis substantially perpendicular to the axis of the cutting disc, the drive gear being engagable with the teeth to exert a drive force to rotate the cutting disc whereby the disc teeth serve a dual function of performing a cutting and grinding operation and transmitting the drive force of the drive gear to rotate to the disc.
A cutting and grinding tool comprising:
- a rotatable cutting disc rotatable about an axis and formed with a plurality of radially extending teeth;
- and
- drive means rotatable about another axis generally perpendicular to the axis of the rotatable cutting disc, the drive means being engagable with the teeth to exert a drive force to rotate the cutting disc whereby the teeth serve a dual function of performing a cutting and grinding operation and transmitting the drive force of the drive means to rotate to the disc.
