    Removing tile grout
    I want to remove tiles and grout from a table top so I can redo the tile. What is the best tool for doing this without damaging the surrounding wood table top?

    An Angle grinder with a diamond blade. A Multitool, could do it , but would be slower.
    If not proficient with power tools, they can be more Dangerous, an Example:

    An Example of the Blade :

    You can buy a grout hand saw @HD, Lowe's or a tile place. Takes a little work. If you have a Multi tool you can buy a grout blade for it.

    To remove tile u will have to break one tile out. U can then chisel the rest of tile out.
