In the process of overhauling an apartment, or finishing it in the case of buying an apartment in the so-called "rough finish", as a rule, one of the first works is the replacement or laying of new electrical wiring. If you have enough of your own knowledge and skill to do most of the new wiring work, of course it's best to do it yourself. In this way, you can save a fairly large amount of money, since these works are quite expensive, and if necessary, you can always change the layout of the future electrical network, and we think that everything will be done much more accurately than hired workers.
In the course of laying electrical wiring along the walls of a residential apartment, the lion's share of all work, and the most difficult and dusty, is wall chasing. For those who do not know: a strobe is a special groove for wire or other communications so that they do not protrude beyond the plane of the wall, floor or ceiling.
If you have old plastered walls, then it will be enough for you to make a groove in the plaster (usually it is about 2 cm), for which a perforator, a small grinder, or, in extreme cases, a chisel and a hammer are suitable. In this case, the main material of the wall is not touched.
And what if the walls are unplastered and made of brick or, even worse, concrete. How many days will you pick these strobes? Here you can not do without such a tool as a wall chaser. For professional electricians, this is generally the same necessary tool as pliers or a probe.
This tool will be discussed in this article, more precisely, one of the Makita models: a wall chaser MAKITA SG 180.
If we consider this model of a wall chaser, then first of all it is worth noting the significant power of the tool. 1800 W is too much for domestic use, and let's just say that MAKITA SG 180 is a professional tool for permanent use on a large scale.
With this wall chaser, you can easily make a wall chase in both brickwork and monolithic concrete. At the same time, taking into account the significant width of the furrow 60 x 43 mm, the strobe is suitable not only for laying wires and cables, but also for pipes and corrugations of a sufficiently large diameter. The latter suggests that such a characteristic is useful in office and public buildings where it is necessary to lay pipes with a diameter of more than 25 mm, which are used in residential apartments. Thanks to the large-diameter diamond blades of 185 mm, the wall chaser is designed specifically for deep furrows.
The speed of the wall chaser is also impressive - 4100 rpm. Due to this, almost any stone material is cut very well. This will keep the blades neat and clean.
If we consider the electronic security system, then the tool has all the latest developments in this area. The tool is provided with a system for maintaining a constant speed, self-shutdown when the motor is overloaded and soft start. At the same time, in the event of an emergency shutdown of the wall chaser, there is a visual alarm. For smooth movement along the cut surface, the MAKITA SG180 wall chaser is equipped with two guide rollers.
To prevent injury, the tool has a metal protective cover.
Since a large amount of dust is generated when working with a wall chaser, and this is one of the main problems indoors, the developers did not forget to include the ability to connect a vacuum cleaner to the design. It connects to a special pipe on the body of the wall chaser.
