Dremel 568-01 Overview
The Dremel 568-01 is a dedicated grout removal attachment for compatible Dremel rotary tools. Rather than freehanding a small carbide bit between tile edges, the attachment provides a guide that controls the cutting angle and helps keep the bit centered in the grout joint.
30-Degree Guided Cutting
The attachment holds the working bit at a fixed 30-degree angle. Large viewing windows make the grout line visible while cutting, helping the user follow the joint more accurately and reduce the chance of drifting into the tile edge.
Adjustable Cutting Depth
The guide can be adjusted to control how deeply the bit enters the grout. This is useful when removing enough old grout for a new application without unnecessarily cutting deeper into the joint or substrate.
Wall and Floor Grout Removal
Dremel designed the 568 for both wall and floor grout. The US version includes the 569 1/16-inch carbide grout removal bit, while the wider 570 bit is available separately for larger grout lines.
Compatible With Multiple Dremel Tools
The attachment works with a range of Dremel rotary tools, including common corded and cordless models. The attachment itself has no motor, so performance ultimately depends on the compatible rotary tool being used.
Who Should Choose the Dremel 568?
The 568 is particularly attractive for users who already own a Dremel. It provides substantially faster removal than most manual grout saws on medium-size repair jobs while adding more guidance than using a bare rotary bit freehand.
