Chasing with a grinder

[Sanke]

Hi all
Been looking at a job today which if I get it will involve a fair bit of chasing Funds wont stretch to a proper chaser as yet so have been looking at a 4" grinder Would this be a suitable purchase to get going ? Already have sds drill (no chisel action) so could drill holes in between & for sockets etc If the grinder isn't any good any other suggestions ?

twin blade chase cutter from lidl or aldi, if you find a branch with one in stock - £20

I hope it's not an occupied re-wire if you itend cutting out with a grinder......you'll be clearing up the dust for weeks!!!

a grinder will indeed make alot of mess. i have a twin grinder and that even makes mess when connected to hoover.
if its an empty room with no occupants will be ok though i do reccomend a mask and goggles...

I'm on Hayling Island (sometimes). If you need the tools, PM me and we can make a plan. I don't use them day to day so I'd rather they were used profitably than sat sitting stood there.

The property will be occupied From the initial responses I wont be using a grinder

If only I knew that before!
Could have done with a hand on a factory referb in Havant last month, if you had spare time.

pay you to buy an SDS with rotary stop. go for corded, not battery.for 2nd hand try google mr.toolman . he also sells on ebay

Use a grinder and say to the customer 'expect a hell of a lot of dust'.
Get an old SDS with rotary stop (if you already have an SDS you could get one which has a bust clutch on the cheap - as you'll only be using it for kangoing it wont matter)
If you really can't afford it, use a grinder/chaser and scutch.

you can get a cheap one to get you going for about £30 at Aldi, Screwfix etc, they are DIY but you will get more than your £30 worth. I had one for 2 years till the chuck exploded, and i gave it some real clog, digging out in brick day in day out.
