What is the best method to cut the raggle?

You cut raggles with an angle grinder and a normal stone cutting
disk.
Diamond disks are too narrow to get the lead in easily.

This isn't a raggle though, if it's big enough to put a pipe in --
that's a chase. Raggles are narrow slots, as used for flashing.

When cutting chases in these days of power tools, the question isn't
how to cut it (that's now easy) but how to cut it with the least
flying dust. For that reason, if you're working in a house that's
already decorated, it's worth hiring a twin-disk chaser with a built
in dust hood. You can do the job in minutes with an angle grinder,
but
you'll spend hours clearing up afterwards.


Is that when the lady of the house looses her raggle ?

Well mine did complain about the dust when I had to sand the walls of
the hallway recently. But since my doing it was her idea and prior to
beginning to strip the wallpaper I did warn her much work might be
required to get a paintable surface. As time moved on though her
patience did wear thin...
