C-Tec Brick Raking products are used by professional re-pointing contractors, general tradesmen and DIY’ers. For high intensity brick raking, we recommend the use of 125 mm (5”) angle grinders as they are more powerful and have larger bearings and stronger gears. This means they should work faster for longer! 115 mm (4.5”) grinders are often attractive due to their smaller size and lower cost. We accept they may be suitable for less intensive work, such as raking perp joints, or for persons brick raking at a slower pace. With either type, the thicker brick raking blades are likely to cause gearbox bearings and motor brushes to wear more quickly. It is therefore advisable to monitor these parts and replace in good time if you wish to get maximum life from the angle grinder. Grinder manufacturers usually consider bearings and brushes to be wear components and not covered by standard warranty.
