Discuss Recommendations for multi tool blade for brick/plaster in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net

No worries happy to help! Bosch make some similar ones too but I like the irwin ones as the are 150mm long and seem to last for ages!
Yeah most of the grout type grit edged work well with plaster, I have used old normal blades before on plaster just cut a series of slots in it with a 1mm cutting disk in the grinder. They leave a really crisp edge to the cut and produce minimal dust but only work on plaster.
It takes some skill and patience to do listed buildings and some luck as well. My pet hate is lath and plaster, once disturbed is a bugger to make good!
Got to love a scutch they are much neater IMHO!
All good fun!
All the best

I would suggest the Saxton ones, the diamond tipped ones...they work well in mortar and soft brick. I used them to take out a glass brick wall, and they sliced through the mortar easily...unfortunately, when they encountered the nylon tile spacers they clogged up.
I have recently tried their multi=purpose wide blades, and they are great for general cutting, slicing, back-box cutting etc.
Don't be too precious about blades...pay the price, save the time, fling them away...
Old blades are slow, stutter and fart, go off line, take ages to finish the job...who needs that?
Charge the customer! Buy good blades!
