Chasing?

[Johnuk]

get a apprentice to do it lol

Surface mount.

if dust would cause problems, i stitch drill with a 7mm or 8mm sds, then chip out with scutch. if it's really hard brick, then i use a sds scutch on a 110V makita.. makes mincemeat out of engineering brick. have on a couple of occasions gone right through the wall, so 2 x 47mm boxes back to back. customer gets an extra socket for free.

In the words of Duncan Norville, 'chase me, chase me'!

Lets settle this once and for all. The best method of chasing is clearly .........
































Cue saxophone ....

 

[Jonspark]

If in doubt. .......chop it out.

This applies to everything in life.

Bosch SDS 36 volt battery drill with a chiesel bit for me, easy peesy.

The 'short' chisel bit, much easier to control.

on recent jobs i cut outline for a box with oscillating multicutter with diamond tile blade. like 5mm deep, helps to control damage to the plasterwork around no big pieces come off. if its a crap wall or crumbly lath then even deeper.
its much better than a chase machine when comes to dust and precision.
dig out the rest with bosch mains sds with a short and wide chisel.

when done stick the box in with a blob of bonding coat mixed with cement. fix with some red plugs and screws an hour later.

Unless it's 14 Newton concrete block I've never had a problem using a box cutter/sinker. Really quick and just add £30/40 on the price of the rewire for a new cutter,Can't beat it IMO.
