I love this tool!

[HappyHippyDad]

I thought I would have a quick practise in my house with my new wall chaser, the metabo mfe40 fitted with the triple blade and attached to the dust extractor.

Wow!! I love it.

Half the chase I did with just the sds, the other half with the metabo. The chase is 20mm deep and 30mm wide. The metabo chase on the the right took 2 minutes and left virtually zero mess. The sds chase on the left took 3 minutes and I still have about 2 minutes to go (its not finished), plus it left loads of mess. (see picture)



They both gave off a similar amount of dust. Before I bought the tooI I wondered how the triple blade actually took out the middle of the chase and didn't just cut a third groove in the middle. The segments of all three of the blades are offset with each other so in effect it is 6 blades cutting through. It can leave a very, very thin bit of chase, so thin that it just crumbles with a slight brush of your finger, so nothing to worry about. I wonder how long the blade will last.

Very impressed ?

The only downside is I've just priced all the chases for my upcoming rewire out to a labourer so wont actually get to use it! ?

Sorry Westward, I do tend to put them in the wrong part of the forum!

I can actually see the thin cloud of dust across the picture... or have you just got a rubbish camera?

Well thats one way to ---- the missus off, best fill and paint it before the Sunday lunch sherry wears off and she comes round.

The lad was actually there timing me. I may tidy it up tomorrow.... or maybe leave it for a week!?

It's your fault that I won't be using it ??

I just looked up the cost of that 3 ring circus - with the pain you’ve got coming I won’t add to your woes, tonight .

 

[littlespark]

nackered the hoover as well... well done

 

[Let me think]

Thanks for the review on that. I am so glad the sockets weren't wired horizontally. I have just bought a cheap Erbauer and will be using it tomorrow, will tell you how I get on with it. Kitchen first fix. I looked at all the options and thought I was not prepared to pay £400 plus for the makita. At the end of the day it is just a double diamond wheel to cut masonry. Let us see if it works out then. I do have an industrial hoover for the event. Generally I have found Erbauer to be pretty good tools. Lets hope I am not disappointed.

i presume that your dust sheets were in the wash at the time.

My ‘Mr Cheap Chases’ works well an nothing stops it, but it can’t compare with noise and dust performance of these Bentley models, I think. I only use (or is that abuse?) my general purpose Henry to deal with the dust and that could also be part of my misery.

@happyhippydad and @Vortigern - can I ask what vacuum you use?
