Bosch 2608669127 Review

Removing old tiles and preparing the surface underneath for new ones is one of the messiest, most labour-intensive jobs in any renovation. Getting the tiles off is only half the battle — what remains is a floor or wall covered in rock-hard mortar ridges and stubborn tile adhesive that a standard scraper barely touches. An angle grinder with a diamond cup wheel will do the job but fills the room with a dust cloud that takes days to settle. A hammer and chisel will get there eventually, but at the cost of hours of back-breaking labour and probably some gouged substrate. This is where specialised oscillating multi-tool blades designed for mortar and adhesive removal earn their place. With the right blade fitted, an oscillating tool can cut through mortar joints, scrape adhesive flush with the surface, and clean up edges faster and with far less dust than grinding — and much less effort than doing it by hand.

Bosch Professional's tiling blade set (part number 2608669127) is a curated collection of four Starlock-compatible oscillating tool blades purpose-built for tile removal and surface preparation. The set is aimed at professional tilers and serious renovators who regularly face the task of removing old tiles, cutting out mortar joints, and scraping adhesive residue from walls and floors. At approximately €55 for four blades, it is positioned as a professional-grade accessory set with Bosch's Starlock mounting system for optimal power transfer and 3-second blade changes. The blades measure 134 × 104 mm and the complete set weighs just 164 grams.

This review examines each blade's intended use case, the materials they can handle, how the Starlock interface improves power delivery compared to universal-mount alternatives, and whether this specialist set justifies its price for the professional tiler versus buying individual blades as needed. We also cover compatibility — which multi-tools these blades work with and whether they suit DIY-level tools as well as professional models.

The Bosch Professional Tiling Blade Set contains four Starlock-compatible oscillating tool blades specifically engineered for tile removal and substrate preparation. The blades are designed to cut through the mortar between tiles — allowing individual tiles to be removed without damaging surrounding ones — and to scrape hardened tile adhesive from walls and floors after the tiles themselves have been lifted. The set comes in a compact package measuring 13.4 × 10.4 × 4.8 cm and weighs 164 grams. The blades measure 134 × 104 mm and are compatible with all Starlock, StarlockPlus, and StarlockMax multi-tools — covering Bosch Professional, Makita (DTM series), Fein, and other brands using the Starlock standard.

The Starlock mounting system is a meaningful advantage for this type of heavy-duty blade work. Scraping mortar and adhesive puts significant lateral force on the blade mount, and the Starlock 3D interface — with its shaped contact surfaces rather than a simple flat friction fit — transfers more of the tool's oscillation energy directly into the blade and resists the blade working loose under load. This matters because a blade that loosens mid-job not only slows you down but can damage the mounting pins on both the blade and the tool. The blade change itself takes about three seconds: press the blade onto the magnetic holder until it clicks into the Starlock interface, and it is ready to use. No Allen key, no tightening — just press and go.

The four-blade set is configured to cover the full workflow of tile removal. The mortar-cutting blades have hardened edges designed to slice through cement-based grout and mortar joints, letting you cut around a damaged tile and remove it cleanly without disturbing neighbouring tiles — essential for repair work where you only need to replace one or two cracked tiles rather than re-tile an entire wall. The scraper blades are shaped with a flat, rigid profile that gets underneath tile adhesive and lifts it off the substrate. The blades are wide enough (134 mm) to cover a useful area with each pass, reducing the number of strokes needed to clear a given section of wall or floor.

For professional tilers, the key benefit of a dedicated tiling blade set is efficiency. Standard universal scraper blades will eventually remove tile adhesive, but they are typically narrower, flex more under load, and wear faster because they are made from general-purpose steel rather than hardened material optimised for abrasive mortar and cement. These Bosch blades are purpose-hardened for the specific wear pattern of scraping mineral-based adhesives — the edges stay sharper longer, which means less time swapping blades and more time clearing surface area. The set is also useful for removing old render, levelling high spots in screed, and scraping textured coatings from walls.

The Bosch tiling blade set (2608669127) is priced at approximately €54.99 on Amazon.fr. At the time of writing, it has no customer reviews or star rating on the platform. It ranks #459,285 in DIY & Tools and #475 in Oscillating Tool Accessories — reflecting its specialist nature and recent introduction (first available September 2025). The set is compatible with any Starlock-equipped multi-tool, including Bosch Professional GOP and PMF series, Makita DTM series, and Fein MultiMaster tools with Starlock mounts. Being a Bosch Professional accessory, it is backed by Bosch's accessory warranty and manufactured to their professional specifications.

The Bosch Professional Tiling Blade Set is designed for professional tilers and renovation contractors who regularly remove old tiles and need efficient, durable blades for cutting mortar joints and scraping adhesive residue from walls and floors.
