Mosaic Tabletop Rescue
Find a chipped or dated tiled coffee table and completely refresh it. Use the segmented carbide-grit blade to de-grout around damaged tiles without touching the good ones, pop them out, and set accent pieces. Regrout in a bold color for a modern look—the Starlock stability helps prevent accidental tile chatter on tight corners.
Constellation Grout Art
Turn a backsplash or shower niche into a night-sky feature. Selectively remove narrow sections of grout to form constellation lines and stars, then refill with glow-in-the-dark or metallic epoxy grout. The 2.5 in segmented profile lets you trace crisp paths and reach inside corners cleanly.
Salvaged Tile Wall Panel
Carefully de-grout and lift decorative tiles from a demo site, then clean the backs by shaving off old thinset with the carbide grit edge. Arrange them on a plywood or cement board panel to create a framed mural. The blade’s control lets you reclaim more intact pieces with fewer chips.
Cement Planter Detailing
Use the blade like a micro-grinder to shave drips, clean seams, and scribe channels in concrete or terrazzo planters. Inlay narrow bands of glass or tile into the scribed lines and regrout for contrast. The abrasive coating gives a stonemason-like finish without bulky tools.
Tile Trivet and Coaster Set
Harvest small tile squares from leftovers or salvage by de-grouting them cleanly. Mount on cork or hardwood blanks, using the blade to tidy squeeze-out and to open consistent grout joints. Finish with a tinted grout for a coordinated kitchen set.
