I have a Hilti and it is brill, will do 46mm wide be 40mm deep and when attached to a hoover gives out almost no dust and I paid pds 260 off of ebay.

Do you have any ideas how much the Hilties are new?

Watching one now on ebay.

Just wondering if buying a 2nd hand hilti would be better thatn buying a new other brand version:confused:
 
A new Hilti is over a grand including VAT, so it really depends on how much chasing you do.

I bought mine on Ebay for about 260 which has more than paid for itself already.
 
What vacuum do you use with it victor?

Not sure what make it is, but I know it is about 1600w with 50mm hoses which I bought from one of the local diy stores here in France for about pds100.

It does exactly the same as the Hilti one as it has a built in socket outlet to allow you to plug in the chaser and only comes on when the chaser starts up. (this means you dont have to keep turning the hoover on and off all the time) Hilti equivalent is about pds 500.

Hope this help
 
Word of advice learnt from buying a cheapie Clarke wall chaser at Machine Mart (£117). It's similar to other budget models around. It does a good job, although replacement blades only available from a few suppliers. No complaints with it's ability to cut a chase. Loads of power at 1450W. I've done all the chasing in two or three rewires on the original blades and still going! But the vacuum extract port is directly in line under the blade so debris occasionally collects on the grill, blocking the airflow. This I think could have been designed better. Only noticed it really happening on crumbly old lime rendered walls.

Actually looked at that one but glad i've read this post now.

Going to order one of these as the cutting width is better than any other brand out there (apart from Hilti)
