GLITTER BIT SPECIFICATIONS

"Finishes the job that a diamond blade can't . . ."

  1. Specifically designed to cut Concrete & Hard "S-Type" Mortar.

  2. Smooth Cutting . . . Excessive force is NOT required (it is actually not recommended).  The 20,000+ RPM die grinder provides the cutting speed you need . . . Especially on hard materials.

  3. Glitter Bits are for use in Die Grinders, operating at 20000+ Rpm.

    When used on a lower RPM tools, the bit's cutting speed and life is reduced.  The 20,000+ RPM Speed provides the optimum cutting speed and life.


  4. Creates at least 200% less dust.  The dust that is created stays with a 3' square area (even without the vacuum attachment).  The dust doesn't go airborne like that of a diamond blade on an angle grinder.

 

Testimonial

6 Minutes / Brick for Complete Removal
Includes cutting through hard "S-Type" mortar & over a 3/16" V-Tie

Glitter Bit Life - Description.
Glitter Bits are specifically designed to cut hard materials and provide long life (especially compared to carbide or electro-plated diamond products).

As a Glitter Bit is used, the diamond crystals are exposed - they actually glitter.  When the crystals are exposed, they are cutting at their maximum potential.

Premature bit life will only occur if you used a Glitter Bit as a drill bit.  Diamond crystals, in general, require high speeds to cut and for proper life.  The diamonds crystals on the perimeter of a Glitter Bit (moving at 25000+ Rpms) are what is cutting.  The crystals at the very tip of a Glitter Bit, moving at less than 500 Rpm, do not have the necessary "high speed" to provide life.

Plunge-cutting a Glitter Bit directing into masonry material (using it like a drill bit) will prematurely burn the diamond crystals on the tip - Within a few holes the crystals will actually glow "red".  A Glitter Bit is angled (30 - 45°'s) to start the cut.

 

Single Brick Cut-Out Procedure - Must be used with a Vacuum *:


(Click on .pdf to download the 1 page instruction manual)

Start your brick cut-out by angling the 4-5/8" Glitter into the mortar joint, as opposed to drilling straight into the mortar.1.  Start your cut into a brick's mortar joint by positioning the 4-5/8" Glitter parallel to the horizontal mortar joint.  Angle the tip of the Glitter Bit into the joint on a 30 - 45° angle & proceed to cut this way, both horizontally & vertically - around the brick, to obtain a 1" depth.

Make 3 or 4 passes around the brick's perimeter, each time going 1" deeper.2.  Maintaining the 30 - 45° angle, continue cutting by "working the bit", using a combination of holding the bit on the angle and rotating it in-and-out to grind the mortar.

(Click on pictures for larger images.)

Cutting the vertical brick joint . . . Notice:  No Dust.3.  Repeat this procedure 3 or 4 times around the brick's perimeter, going 1" deep per pass, to successfully and quickly grind the mortar until the brick is free.

4.  Remember to grind with the side of the bit and not use the Glitter Bit as a drill bit.  Never push on the bit ~ let the bit and the 20,000 RPMs do the cutting.  With a 1/4" shank, using excess force will bend the heat treated drill rod and cause injury should the Glitter Bit snap.

After every pass of the Glitter Bit, stop your cutting and just use the vacuum to remove the dust that lays in the joint.* 5.  Using a vacuum is not a recommendation, but a necessity when cutting-out individual bricks.  Placing the vacuum's hose close to the work surface not only keeps the dust from becoming airborne but, after each pass around the brick's perimeter (going 1" deep per pass), you stop your grinding and just use the vacuum hose to remove the dust that lays inside the brick joint.

Removing this dust drastically increases the diamond crystals' cutting speed, performance, and life.  Otherwise, you will just be pulverizing dust.

(Click on pictures for larger image.)

Cutting through hard "S" mortar - without any dust - and no overcuts into the adjacent mortar.6.  After the Glitter Bit has completely cut through the brick's mortar joint and the dust is removed, lightly tap on the face of the brick to simply remove the brick.

Glitter Bit Characteristics

Durability . . . How tough is it?

5/16 x 3-1/2" Glitter Bits are used to round corners on granite counter tops (1-1/8" thick).  A template may be used - Expected bit life is 12 cut-outs per bit.

 

Excellent for Concrete Crack Chasing

Tough, durable diamond bit grinds heavy aggregate . . . dust is kept on the grinding surface . . . it is not airborne.Designed specifically to cut hard Portland Type S-Mortar . . .

Cuts or routes-out cracks on concrete floors . . . Even on floors with exposed aggregate or high PSI concrete.

Excellent for concrete spall repair projects . . . Grinds concrete from hard to-get-to areas . . .

Using the Glitter Bit a concrete crack is routed-out for epoxy or joint sealant injection.

Without any airborne dust . . . Using the Glitter Bit's Brick Dust Director.

 

Dust Control . . . Creates Less Mess

The Diamond Tuck Pointing Bit creates at least 200% less dust that a diamond blade.

More importantly, because of the bit's small diameter (compared to that of a blade), the dust that is created does not fly into the air . . . like that of a diamond blade on an angle grinder.

The dust stays close to the surface . . . significantly reducing your clean-up expense.

Testimonial 
"A very useful tool to have in your tool box . . ."

"I like it . . . and just look at the diamonds glitter . . .

I've never seen diamonds on a blade exposed or glitter like this . . . and they glitter even more as the bit wears!

The exposed diamonds are what cuts . . . I like this."

Project Foreman, Masonry Restoration Company, Pittsburgh, PA

 

The Complete Glitter Bit™ System
How about the Vacuum?

Yes, Glitter Bits create 200% less airborne dust

But the dust is still created, it is just laying in the joint . . .

Glitter Bits work best & they'll cut significantly faster and more efficient when the dust is removed from the joint.

You'll will need a Vacuum . . . And not just any vacuum will work.
