  • The First episode in a mini rewire series. We plan to cover the rewire as a whole over 2 episodes with small episodes covering things like chasing, consumer unit installation and filling/bonding chases etc.
    In this one I show the various options for chasing into wall surfaces for both back boxes and cable routes. A small clip from a bigger rewire series covering many aspects of everything carried out during a rewire.
    This is chasing into old plaster and brick.
    Use of Angle grinder, wall chaser, multi tool, sds chisels (various) and more. Some hints and tips for a good result.

    Should link some of the bits and blades you use, I know I'm always looking for multi tool blades for use on plaster, I know there's one out there that can be used on brick but never found where to get it. Great video though it's definitely going to help so many people out there.

    Wow, love your voice! And the info you put out . Much appreciated. What is that grinder dust guard you are using at the end? seems to be quite good at collecting dust compared to the titan chaser. I’m trying to make up my mind between the titan and grinder dust guard or just bite the bullet and get the metabo.. any advice is much appreciated

    • @electrician247
      @electrician247  Рік тому +1

      It's the bosch grinder attachment. Works really well but if you do a lot of chasing I would get the metabo tbh.

      It only fits certain models of the 18V range. Few different versions are available. No hoover to attach, it is a hoover itself with a capsule for the dust etc. Really good solution.

    • @electrician247

      We have the really punchy ones but I prefer the lightweight ones tbh. The heavier hitter only comes out on blue brick and concrete. To much weight to be chasing all day with for me.

    Mark, did you see the way Nick fixed his oval conduit on his last re-wire? It’s a really nice way, I tried it the other week and I think it’s better than screwing either side. great vid nice to see different ways of chasing out and the different attachments as I tend to stick to the same way every time

    5:28 Those armeg SDS scutch attachments aren't much cop are they? They work great for the first 10 minutes. Then they do exactly what it did in your video: The scutch bit slides sideways out of the jaws' grip. So you smash it back in place with a hammer, try again, and 20 seconds later it slides out again. Maddening. I have tried all sorts to get them to stay put - jubilee clip around it, whack the jaws in the hope they tighten, etc. but nothing works for long. Not cheap either.

      This is what I use now. Occasionally you have to cut new teeth into it with the angle grinder, but other than that it's pretty good:

      We generally have the same trouble up here mate. It was very much a get in there moment when they was so soft lol. Like a 2010 onwards arsenal midfield.
      The shroud is fantastic. The grinder we use will take 125mm discs which gets us a bit deeper without the guard. But limited to 25mm I think on this one. Zero dust though which is a win!
      Thanks for watching mate, appreciate that a lot.
