Bosch PMF 180 Multi Tool - RIFF blade for grout removal

[gadgetgeezer10]

Hi

Just bought the PMF 180 for the removal of grout on a shower wall where the tiles are spaced 1 or possibly 2mm apart.

I've read that the standard RIFF blade (for grout removal) is quite wide or at least wider than 2 mm - is this correct? I understand there is also a "thin" RIFF blade. Does anyone know the width of this blade?

Thanks

According to ebay ads, 1/16th inch, around 3mm.

more like 2mm or slightly less
1/8" is around 3.2mm

I have the blades, they do a 2mm gap but you must be really carefull the blade doesn't twist in the grout line and chip the edges of the tiles.

have the blade in front off and yes its something like 2-2.3mm
if you want it down to say 1.9 then by rubbing the blade on emery cloth and take off the high spots should achieve that
or alternatively leave the tighter joins till later and the blade may have worn in

Are you saying the standard one can do 2mm or the thin one?

acs85rt is the thick one - you say 2.0-2.3mm.
The thin one is ACZ65RT which is 1/16 inch or 1.6 mm.

How long do the blades last? For example, how many square metres of tiles could I cover?

haven't got a clue but wouldn't be surprized if you need more than one on a small bathroom
