sds chiselling out sockets
Stephen coughed up some electrons that declared:
Hello,
I used to use angle grinders and wall chasers to make holes for
electrical sockets but read here about using an sds drill as a chisel.
I have found that as far as production of dust is concerned, chiseling
is the way to go. However, how do you limit the depth? I found the
drill got carried away with itself and would have quite happily
punched through the wall rather than stop after 35mm! Is there a trick
to this?
Thanks,
Stephen.
PS I can't really justify buying the special £50 attachment for
once-in-a-blue-moon socket fixing.
Bit of bright tape round the chisel shank to give a rough indication of
depth?
I understand not buying a box sinker for a few one offs. I did, but I've got
over 50 boxes to sink in one go.
Cheers
Tim
