What is a wall chaser for and how does it work?
Repair or construction work is impossible without the use of appropriate equipment. In particular, when carrying out electrical installation, wall chasers will be an indispensable tool. This equipment is specially designed for cutting grooves in walls and ceilings made of various materials: brick, concrete, stone, and others.
The VADA online store offers a wide range of high-quality wall chasers of various types. We offer tools from exclusively reliable manufacturers that have won the trust of Ukrainian and European users.
What is a wall chaser and what is it for?
A wall chaser is a type of angle grinder. Before the advent of specialised devices, electricians used to make wall chases with grinders, raising clouds of dust. Often, this was done at the end of the shift, when most workers were leaving the construction site, because of the unbearable dust, and after such operations it was impossible to continue working indoors. Also, perforators were sometimes used, but this tool is not ideal for such tasks.
Power tool manufacturers have taken into account the needs of construction workers - they have equipped the equipment with spindles for attaching saw blades, provided for the possibility of connecting a construction vacuum cleaner, and installed several rollers to facilitate the movement of the structure using physical force.
Today, the wall chaser is a very effective tool that is often used in repair and construction work. Wall chasers can be used to quickly create small grooves in wall structures, ceilings and flooring. The grooves created can vary in depth and width. Depending on what is to be placed in these grooves, they can be narrow (for electrical cables, internet wires, etc.), wider (for water pipes), or the largest (for sewage systems and gas pipelines).
Types of wall chasers: which one to choose?
This equipment can be divided into types according to various criteria. First of all, they are divided into professional and household. The first type is designed for long-term operation (long periods of time without stopping). They have a stronger construction and can be used in difficult conditions (dust, temperature, humidity).
Equipment of the second class is simpler. After a significant load, it needs to be switched off to allow it to cool down (more often after 2 hours of continuous operation). Also, they cannot boast of high performance - they have a smaller depth and width of cut. The types of wall chasers according to this criterion should be selected taking into account the conditions of use.
Most often, wall chasers are divided into the following types:
- Manual. These are household models that work thanks to the physical strength of a person.
- Electric. A very popular type that operates on 220 volts. Some manufacturers offer more powerful wall chasers that are designed for a three-phase 380-volt supply.
- With a vacuum cleaner. Such models help minimise the appearance and spread of dust. Integration with a vacuum cleaner allows the wall chaser to work at any time.
In the Vada online store, you can buy a wall chaser, manual, electric and with the option of connecting a vacuum cleaner at affordable prices.
Tips for choosing a wall chaser
Before purchasing a wall chaser, you need to familiarise yourself with its technical characteristics and application features. Pay attention to:
- The power of the electric motor. This nuance should also be taken into account in view of the protective equipment of the power supply network.
- The speed of the discs. This characteristic affects performance. As a rule, the more compact the machine, the higher the speed and vice versa.
- Maximum cutting depth. This parameter is always infinitely adjustable (in steps) and is extremely important when choosing a machine.
- The width of the groove. This parameter is adjusted by adjusting the distance between the discs. The smallest models of wall chasers usually have a width of 3 mm, and the larger ones - from 40 mm.
- The type is either electric or cordless. Models belonging to the first type are usually more powerful, but are tied to a power outlet. Others, on the contrary, are mobile and have lower performance.
- Cost and brand. The choice of model depends on the operating modes in which it is intended to be used, the workload, and the tasks. It is important to pay attention to the manufacturer - the best equipment today is considered to be from Bosch, Makita, and DeWalt.
Every detail is important when choosing a specific model. Therefore, the purchase decision should always be made comprehensively, taking into account the above parameters.
