Wall chaser & vac ?

[billyb76]

Guys,
been doing alot of wall chasing latley & got loads more coming up so thought about bying a wall chaser.

Read loads of post on here & think I going to get the Makita SG1250 wall chaser as these seem to be one of the best around as it is going to be well used.

But seen on here that it is cheaper to buy Nilfisk vac to go with it as alot cheaper & just as good a the Makita vac.

Can anyonr recomend what Nilfisk to buy and any reviews about this set up.

Thanks all
Billy

I use a makita l class dust extractor which is bagless and self clearing -you can chase in a furnished house with minimal dust one of the best tools i own!

Thanks for this guys.

I have found the Makita vac online for about £280 but the Nilfisk ALTO aero is only £130 that quite abit of difference if they do the same thing? Also once you chase the wall out with this machine what's the best way to cut the channel out?

One of THESE

Make sure you buy some high temperature grease as it will be costly if you don't

i use either the above sds attachment or a "Sparky' Wallchaser and a Henry Vacuum. Cost effective and no complaints yet!

I’m seriously thinking about getting this combo for my next new build. What you have to bear in mind, is the output of the dust extractor if you’re going to use the automatic start/stop socket with a wall chaser.

Nilfisk make hilti vacs and festool's special particular vacs. Got a hilti one and it's great brilliant power and built well. You may even find that makita sub contract the manufacture of their vacs to Nilfisk as they are the largest vac manufacturer in Europe.

I have the bosch wall chaser and withit came a thin chisel that fits into the cut slot, lever it sideways and big clean chunks of the chase come out, just get the hammer and tidy up and protruding bits after.

yesterday I picked up a makita wall chaser for £125 in a second hand shop, thats a bargan as brand new they're £400! I've yet to get a hoover.

What I tend to do (as I share a hoover & chaser with my boss) is chase the wall then sds with a chisel bit, nothing done by hand apart from the socket or switch boxes for the fine chiseling.
