Wall chaser and dust extraction

[FatAlan]

Did some chasing the other week. Couldn’t face using wall chaser or grinder. Just pin drilled. Joined the dots with masonry attachment on mult-tool and knocked out with SDS chisel. Was a fairly soft block wall though

 

[telectrix]

for small chases in plaster i use multitool with oldish blade. hardly any dust. when blade has no more teeth left, a 1mm cutting disc cuts new teeth. rough, but will do for more plaster cuts.

DOES THE VACUUM FIT WITHOUT PUTTING PVC TAPE AROUND? AS MOST DON'T FIT CORRECTLY

Why's that matey?

Borrowed from a mate a hilti chaser and dust extractor for one job we did in a basement.
Excellent bit of kit, best Ive used but if £600 is too much then the Hilti is not for you!!!!

We use 2 different sized festool vacs. They have remote starting from either mains or by Bluetooth switch if using battery tools. They get used with a metabo chaser that goes to 40mm or the festool dsc 125 which is a sort of angle grinder on its side that goes to around 27mm. I found somewhere that did reusable bags for a good price. We get about 5 refills before the bag zip fails on us. Cheaper than the festool reusable bags.

Would you be able to post a link to the items you used online? Thanks pal

I was going to say I wouldn't have known what model it was at the time (probably about 5 years ago) but just looked at Hilti website and they only show the one model now (probably upgraded since)
It was a Hilti 'linked' dust extractor (ie started up when tool was started).

I use an MFE30 with dewalt 902 m class extractor. Thinking about upgrading to the mfe40 due to its ability to not need chiselling out after chasing. But for both pieces of equipment you're looking at 850-900 quid.

 

[Johnw94]

They’re the ones, great pieces of kit.

Can you tell me if this is wide and deep enough for 25mm oval conduit?

Should do. My chaser (erbauer) does a 30mm wide chase which snugly fits a 25mm oval conduit clip.

What do you think of the erbaur? Not think it gets to heavy with having to push towards the ceiling with it?

Nope, I drop it down the wall. It seems fine for a cheap tool, does the job.

You can achieve a fair bit,with a 3HP fan,some 18" ducting,and a Stihl saw...

Even better a 2lb lump hammer, and a 4 inch bolster, chasing machine, lightweight! younger generation never had it so good, yes it's old, before you all start on me. Used to get the bus home at night covered in blood from me busted knuckles, all the Girlies looking at me thing there is a Mans Man, still times change and I suppose all you Thomas Naggy lookalikes, can't work without a Van and a Costa close by whinging about the traffic etc. never had it so good, wimps springs to mind, mind you wish I had a chasing machine, oh I did my Apprentice. In saying that, however difficult the bashing and chasing was, I always tried to balance the hard graft with the technicalities of installation work, just like I was taught by my Master, during my Apprenticeship, different today of course, sadly.

Amusing but very true Pete, I remember before I went into the office doing house bashing and doing all my own holes for fans and cooker hood using a lump hammer and comb chisel. However, the internal blocks were therolite blocks. Did you undertake a risk assessment of which knuckles you could hit?
