Description
Alpha® Tuck Point Wheel — 4"
The Alpha® Tuck Point Wheel is purpose-built for brick re-pointing and flash installation, removing deteriorating mortar from masonry joints quickly and cleanly. The segmented diamond rim uses a hard bond engineered to resist the highly abrasive mortar found in brick laying, delivering aggressive cutting with extended blade life. The 4" diameter with 7/8" / 20mm / 5/8" multi-arbor fits 4", 4-1/2" and 7" angle grinders, and is also compatible with the Alpha® AWS-125 wet stone cutter.

| TP0478 | 4" | 6.0mm | 7/8", 20mm, 5/8" | 14,500 | 749173462122 |
- Mount the wheel on a 4", 4-1/2" or 7" angle grinder using the appropriate arbor adapter (7/8", 20mm or 5/8").
- For dust suppression, attach an Alpha® Ecoguard™ W5 dust shroud connected to a HEPA vacuum.
- Hold the grinder square to the joint and plunge gently — let the diamonds do the cutting.
- Track the joint at a steady feed rate; avoid twisting or side-loading the wheel.
- Wet cutting is recommended whenever practical — it extends segment life and keeps silica out of the air.
- Do not exceed the 14,500 RPM max rated speed. Inspect frequently and replace when segments wear flush.
