Default Wall Chasers

Hi,

I suspect that I am about to have an awful lot of channels to cut in a
house in preparation for some plumbing and cabling later on.

Whenever I have done this in the past I have generally used a hammer
and chisel, or when I was feeling particularly frustrated an angle
grinder (I shan't be doing that again).

So I am considering adding a wall chaser to my inadequate armoury of
tools. I suspect that over the years it will get plenty of use.

So, my question is, are these as filthy as an angle grinder or can I
expect beautifully neat channels and not a drop of dust to be seen
anywhere?

Aldi have one on "special" for £44.99 (Started on Sunday 23rd July) this one
has a port for a vacuum cleaner, so I expect this will reduce the mess quite
a lot, but I doubt it will me able to suck it all up!

I can't post a link, as for some stupid reason, as soon as the weeks
specials start, they are removed from the Aldi web site!


I'd be careful about using a vacuum cleaner. The instructions for our
bagless model specifically warn not to use it for plaster dust.
Presumably it clogs and ruins the filter?
