mortar removal power tools

[millea71]

Looking for quick way to remove mortar from patio and garden wall. Should I go for a multi function power tool, small hand held circular saw (such as a worxs) with a mortar blade or is there a better alternative.

Cheers

circular saw =wood
you need to look at an angle grinder but a dangerous tool in the wrong hands

I've got something similar to this somewhere,

I bought it many years ago for cutting short slots in plaster etc without the mess of an angle grinder, it was OK but a bit slow (and still messy) IIRC.

Hi I have a grinder but it is has a 115mm disc which I think/unhappy to use on the patio mortar though I would be ok using on the wall. was hoping to see if there was a smaller sized dia disc tool to use on the patio not sure if it is poss to get smaller disc for the grinder i have Any ideas? I am well used to using grinders and power tools.

There are still some 100mm diameter grinders around but they are thin on the ground now. Best stick with 115 I think.

Use a worn down (non diamond) disk.

I'm not sure what the issue is that you're worried about though?

a115mm disk will give you somewhere around 25mm cutting depth possibly less ??

I think it's the length if the cut he's worried about al, ie cutting grooves into the bricks
