Just a quick heads-up for anyone who's always wanted to turn their wall into dust but has been put off by the price of wall chasers: local Aldi had them reduced to =A319.99 (from =A340, I think).
Don't know whether this is national or just certain branches clearing stock.
And I haven't used one, so I can't say whether they're any good or not
- but I've had a 9" grinder and small table saw from Aldi and they've both taken some hammer and are still going.
Cheers for that, I'll take a look.
Or from 29.99, a couple of days back when I finally sprung for one!
(Wonder if they've dropped the core drill sets yet?)
I bought a set of the carbide tipped holes saws a while ago for about £6. Tried them on Thursday on some tiles & they were really good.

My ALDI wall chaser seems to be very good now I've used it. Only thing wrong is the laser is on the wrong end (duh!)[1]. But I guide the edge of the machine to a line on the wall and that seems to work (draw line offset by blade-machineedge distance and bob's a monkey's uncle or something).
[1] Laser wants you to push the machine up - but it jumps if you do this. Need to pull machine down to cut nicely - ergo laser was designed on by someone who never used the machineCheers

Yes I bought one of these about 3 years ago and found the same problem: I thought it was just me...

Tim, David,
What are you using for dust extraction and how effective is it at limiting the dust?
mike coughed up some electrons that declared:
I plug a VAX in. Kills the filters and bag eventually but the dust capture is actually quite effective. An industrial hoover or something cyclonice (eg Dyson) might be better.
Cheers

Did the round trip of the two closest to here - Bermondsey and Catford. Just the places for a Sunday day out. ;-)
No chasers.
