Wall Chaser

[carl9254]

What is the best wall chaser tool/machine out there??

 

[ajelec10]

Metabo, twin disc, has good reliabliaty and is small enough to get in the tight spaces, get a good hover and lots of bags, you wont cause much dust!

Only have experience of 1. Erbauer from screwfix £110, goes through concrete block and brick like a knife through butter. Make sure you attach a good vac unless you like working in a thick cloud of dust!

If used with a decent vac, is the dust kept so much to a minimum that you could use it if you sheeted items of furniture in a house.

I use a wolfcraft drill attachment from screwfix not bad and cheap ! £21.95 also just got the armeg 20mm ext chisel also good for behind skirting & coving ! & 30mm channelling chisel these do the job but you do need a rotation lock sds drill ! having said that my trusty old bolster & chisel never let me down !

P.S. Anyone else used the armeg's ?

I have done so yes. Miles faster and easier than hammer and bolster.

Ive got the Aldi one, its good but i still prefer the hammer and scutch chisel, for the time you save wall chasing with a machine you lose cleaning up and stopping working with all the dust.

Last time i did a referb job on a derilict house i used a 4.5" angle grinder and didnt bother my arse with dust extraction, then again i haqve been know to put a door way in a 3" brick wall with a sthill saw indoors

with the grinder i cut the channels, then cut the outline of the back box and then cross the back box and give it a wack, Siiimmppleess!

Id be interested as to what that combo cost you as its two purchases i really would like to make and in particular its the hilti ones i want

 

[pennywise]

I have the same set up and i think it cost me a total of £1350 plus vat then you have to buy the transformer with the 32 amp outlet, as it's not worth buying the vac without the integrated 110 socket and it requires a 32amp supply. Thanks

Is that after they make your tea ?

Hilti are the dogs danglies,

A good recon one on ebay - £350 for the chaser and near enough the same for the hoover.

My old gaffers selling point to customers was "I could be coreing a 4inch hole there and you could be eating your food underneath me"

tatally agree. i use the twin disc metabo with a makita vac. as long as you look after the tools and keep them clean you can pretty much go into a house and not use dust sheets.


all though i would advise it.

drill with hammer lock with chisel attachment no dust just lumps of brick alot easier to tidy up...
