A Tuck Point Blade (also called a tuckpointing blade or mortar removal blade) is a diamond‑grit blade used on an angle grinder to cut, clean, or remove mortar between bricks, blocks, and stones. It’s a very common item for NYC masons, supers, and contractors because of the city’s older brick buildings.

Below is a clean, hardware‑store‑ready explanation you can use for staff or customers.

TUCK POINT BLADE — USES

1. Removing Old Mortar (Primary Use)

This is the main reason masons buy it.
