Any suggestions on using the stylus to remove old grout from a bathtub? I'm pretty sure the removal kit is not meant for the stylus, but I don't have the same issue of a narrow space between standard tiles. The grout at the bottom of the tub is a much wider space, but it's really rock hard and I want some help from the tool to break it up and remove it.
Will the 570 bit work in the Stylus? Any best practices to consider?
Thanks,
Dan

It is unlikely that the stylus can do the job. The problem will be that the tool simply will not generate enough torque to get through the grout, if possible you should consider a Dremel 300 or 4000. Failing that the RotoZip will definitely get the job done.

Hi Dan... this is Beth from Dremel Customer Service. In regards to your question... you are correct, the #568 Grout Removal Attachment won't work on your Stylus, however, the grout bit that comes with it, #570 will. Let me explain a couple of things however. The bit should not be run in excess of 18,000 RPM. The advantage of the attachment is that it allows you to set the depth because when working with grout, you want to take a third of your depth off at a time. IF you choose to do this basically freelance, you will have to remember to angle the bit (because this is what keeps it from burning/breaking... it allows air flow to go over it). Abiding by the same rules (i.e.... skimming 1/3" depth at a time off, tilting the bit and to always pull towards yourself), should help you to achieve this. I will tell you this though... if you have that hard of grout, you might be going through these bits quite a lot. You might otherwise consider our Diamond Wheel #545 or the EZ545. These shouldn't be run in excess of 20,000 RPM, but do allow you to work on materials that are very hard such as concrete, marble, porcelain. I suggest going to our website and viewing these items. If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact us at Dremel Customer Service on our toll free phone number of 1-800-437-3635, Mon-Fri, 7:00 am - 6:00 pm, CST. Any of us would be happy to assist you.
