   I thought that the whole contraption designed for the dremel was a waste of time. I have the xpr 400 and it was extremely hard to remove grout from in between tiles. I would try the dremel multi max with grout removing blade before I would use that thing again.

   For grout removal, an ocillating tool like the Dremel Multimax is the cat's pajamas. Using my Fein Multimaster, I removed grout from a whole kitchen and entry floor area and was disappointed when there was no more grout to remove. It was actually enjoyable to accomplish this job without the time and tedium.

   I decided to try the dremel bit in spite of the two responses I received.  I used the router base attachment with the 1/16" bit and was pleasant surprised by how well the bit performed.  I ran the dremel at full speed and lowered the bit in 1/8" increments. An added bonus was the dust created settled down on either side of the joint with very little dust being kicked up in the air. 

   Admittedly I did not do a very large area (22 square feet of 12" x 12" tile with unsanded grout) but the job went rather easily and quickly and was an inexpensive compared to some of the other options for removing the grout
