Hoover for wall chasing

[robd]

I've got a nilfisk with the auto switch on but I'm not sure which model it is now. It's a great bit of kit.

Can't open that link on the phone but it will be a chip collector for attaching to a big bench planer or spindle moulder they are no good for fine dust which is probably what it means

I've got one of these too, nilfisk alto aero, just use a decent bag and change fairly regularly, doesn't cost much.

That name rings a bell, think thats what mine is

Got mine on recommendation off someone on here so thanks whoever it was! Use it with an erbauer chasing machine which does me for about once monthly use quite nicely.

Id just get a henry and live with a bag

I did this for over 30 years.

The bag's now long gone (divorced in 2005) but I still have the Henry.

and as for vacuums, for a group of electricians that are supposedly hot on correct terminology. a henry/hilti/nilfisk vacuum is not a bloody hoover. a hoover says hoover on it. same as a fluke is not a megger.

It doesn't matter what the badge on the front says, the Scousers will nick it anyway. :laugh:

we're getting selective now. never nick a dyson, it's probably broke anyway.

Cheap and vacuums is maybe possible. But I would say cheap and dust extraction (to HSE standards) do not go together. see:-

If you don't do this kind of thing often and don't have the right dust extrator then I would suggest using hire tools and price the job accordingly.

My dust extractor was not cheap.

A Henry will do the job, but I found the bags would clog up too quickly. I use a Nilfisk multi 20, a great machine. The wall chaser plugs into the Nilfisk, when you turn on the wall chaser the nilfisk multi 20 automatically turns itself on. Also the bags last for ages before they need changing. A cracking piece of kit.

Interestingly before I purchased the nilfisk, I bought a dusk extractor from screwfix (see link below) and when I read the instructions it said 'not to be used for dust'. Work that one out- needless to say it got returned.

What a waste of time and im sure there is some trade descriptions act in there somewhere

...This must be what causes the nights to draw in...

As for Screwfix and their "flexible fit-for-purpose" policy...a mate bought some diamond hole drills,and on testing them,they were found to be chips of nougat,held in place with gingerbread...right turn,Clyde...:conehead:

My Dyson lost it's suction after 2 years, my Hetty is much better.

what make/model do you have? As you don't mention it.

 

[i=p/u]

Probably Bosch Hoover about 300 plus chaser??

 

[billy10]

I've tried 2 Henry hovers for chasing, both didn't last long. Got a nilfisk and it's 1000 times better

 

[londonfire]

If using it with a chaser I wouldn't use anything less than an m class dust extractor. I have a Bosch gas35 M class. Wouldn't be without it!

 

[Swcfisher]

My chaser packed up and as we have a few rewires on rushed out and bought a makita chaser and extractor last week on recommendation from the local tool shop(it was in stock) it's goin back tommorow the extractor is utter sh!te and one of the lads reported a near miss as the on/off switch on the chaser is diffulct to turn off. I tried the chaser on Friday apart from the on/off switch not being great it was fine when connected to the festool extractor but awfully messy when connected to the makita it was bought with

 

[londonfire]

I ruined an L class metabo in a day chasing. The m class ones are a lot of money but they will handle the dust much better. I have just got some dust bags with a zip at the bottom too so really easy to empty and reuse.
