T-slot cutter Bosch X-LOCK 2608599032

The Bosch X-LOCK T-slot cutter is designed for precision cutting in ceramic materials. Fitted with diamond teeth and a geometry optimized for clean, controlled cuts, this accessory is intended for use with angle grinders equipped with the X-LOCK quick-release system. The tool focuses on delivering consistent performance and wear resistance when cutting grooves and slots in tiles, porcelain and similar hard ceramic surfaces.

Advantages

Diamond-coated cutting edges provide extended service life compared with standard abrasive wheels and maintain cutting quality throughout the disc lifetime. The X-LOCK mounting system enables tool-free fitting and fast changes, reducing downtime between operations. The cutter’s profile and tooth arrangement are engineered to minimise chipping and to produce uniform slot dimensions for subsequent fittings or jointing.

Suitable for

• Creating T-slots and grooves in ceramic tiles and porcelain
• Preparing channels for fittings, trims and drainage elements
• On-site tile modification and repair work
• Professional tiling and renovation projects requiring precise slot cutting

Key specifications

• Cutting material: diamond-coated teeth for hard ceramic substrates
• Compatibility: X-LOCK mounting for compatible angle grinders
• Intended use: dry cutting of tiles and ceramic materials
• Cutting profile: T-slot/groove geometry suitable for controlled slot formation
• Construction: reinforced disc body for dimensional stability during cutting

How to use

Fit the T-slot cutter onto an X-LOCK compatible angle grinder following the tool manufacturer’s instructions to ensure secure engagement. Mark the intended slot line on the ceramic surface and make initial light passes to establish the groove, then increase cutting depth gradually until the required slot dimension is reached. Maintain steady, even feed speed and avoid forcing the tool; allow the diamond teeth to cut at their designed rate. Use appropriate auxiliary supports to stabilise small tile pieces during cutting.

Recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment including safety glasses, dust mask or respirator rated for fine particulate, hearing protection and cut-resistant gloves. Where possible, perform cutting in a well-ventilated area and use dust extraction to reduce airborne ceramic particles. Inspect the cutter before use for damage or wear; replace the disc when cutting quality declines or the diamond layer is depleted.
