About the bag I mean, the bagless bit, the question you asked.
Looks like you do just as you said for water https://consumer.nilfisk.com/en/cases/About-wet-and-dry/Pages/WaterSuction.aspx
I think I'd only use it for small amounts of water so it doesn't get to the filter, but there's quite a bit of room below the filter.
There's also the push and clean filter button, which you probably have to use if you use it without the bag (for rubble) too often.
 
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.
Just remember that with the Erbauer... you need to drag it, rather than push it. I read a review where the chap was complaining that all the dust gets blown out of the slots you've just cut ! With some chasers, the blades rotate the other way.

That's an interesting point Zerax. Are you saying that there shouldn't be too much dust with a wall chaser and dust extraction unit? It makes me think I may have been doing something wrong. I'm sure the metabo is a push rather a drag though. Also, it must be working as the amount of rubble it hoovered up was pretty incredible. Just still a lot of dust!

I think you're right... the metabo is a pusher not a puller. I think the amount of dust is driven by how good your vacuum is... I use a Fein Dustex, which works great... and for max suction, I'll treat it to a fresh bag too !
 
Cheaper auto vacuum option: https://www.screwflix..com/p/karcher-wd3-p-1000w-17ltr-wet-dry-vacuum-cleaner-240v/91431
 
Just use the customers vacuum cleaner. Cheapest option. It is their mess you’re cleaning up after all. ;)
being Scottish. you need to use your own. save it and then root through it for the odd 5p.
 
So did a kitchen worth of chases today with the Erbauer. Fine, nothing too great or bad. Very little dust with the hoover. Have nothing really to compare it with experience wise. However it is clearly a boon in that it was fast and nice clean straight cuts. Had one wall in solid concrete which it did, but slowly. They guy with me found it difficult to use. But he is a bit cack-handed with tools and didn't "get" how to stand properly, overreaching etc. It is a drag motion. Used it to criss-cross the box cut-outs which worked out well. The trainee kept complaining it was hard to know where he was cutting, especially dragging it. I did not have that problem. It has a notch so you know where the blade is, I managed to guide it to exactly where I wanted it. So for the price I am happy with it, saved a lot of work and dust and get a neater job.
 
My Metabo is a drag it job rather than push. I have the older model though.

Try it both ways @happyhippydad and see which works best. Loving you just smashing chases into your house for fun I must admit!!!
 
I can see that the chase has a purpose HHD , it's to get rid of that surface trunking between the sockets ?
Quite right Dave. The trunking doesn’t bother me but I was going to have a practise with it anyway, so I thought may as well do it somewhere useful.
 
i have a twin blade chaser £29.99 from Aldi. coupled via a home-made adadaptor (made from a bit if 1" 1/4 waste pipe) to my Henry ( bought 12 years ago from a car boot for £2), hardly any dust at all. just need to remember to switch Henry on first.
Corded i take it ? Mist keep a eye out for it
