How much power should a cable chaser have?

Choosing the right cable chaser is a key element that affects the quality of work performed, as well as the safety and comfort of the user. The power of the cable chaser is one of the most important parameters that determines the efficiency of the device.

High power affects the efficiency of the cut and helps during the execution of recesses at the right depth without excessively straining the tool.

The wall chasers available from Onninen have a power range from 1500 W to 2000 W, which allows for effective cutting in both soft and hard materials.

It is important that the tool has a cutting depth adjustment , which will allow you to adjust the parameters to individual installation needs. For larger installations, it is worth choosing a tool that allows for a greater cutting depth, which allows for precise laying of cables and pipes.

Torsional vibration damping system for cable chasers

Concrete wall chaser Rems Krokodil 180Sr Basic-Pack 185011R220 When working with a cable chaser, especially when cutting hard materials, vibrations occur, which can affect the comfort of work and the quality of the chases made. Modern chasers are equipped with innovative torsional vibration damping systems , which significantly improves the comfort of work. This system reduces vibrations transferred to the user's hands and arms, which minimizes the risk of damage to the tool and reduces fatigue.

Thanks to this solution, tasks can be performed with greater precision even in difficult conditions. Effective vibration dampening systems are especially important in the case of hard materials such as concrete, where the intensity of vibrations is the highest.

How to properly make a groove in the wall?

Correctly making grooves in walls requires not only the right tools, but also knowledge of technical principles.

First , set the appropriate cutting depth to match the diameter of electrical wires and pipes. As standard, wall chasers allow for depth adjustments from 10 mm to 40 mm , which is sufficient for most installation work.

A larger diameter of the discs allows for a deeper cut , which is important when conducting larger installations. In addition , the higher the rotational speed of the discs, the faster and smoother the cutting will be.

Simplified instructions for making a groove:

  1. Set the tool to the appropriate depth.
  2. Select discs of appropriate diameter.
  3. Guide the wall chaser with even pressure.
  4. Stay safe by wearing safety glasses and a dust mask.

Wall chasers are primarily used to make grooves in walls and floors for electrical and plumbing installations. This tool allows for precise preparation of electrical cables and pipes without damaging the structure of the walls. Onninen's offer includes wall chasers that work well with both concrete and brick or plaster, making them versatile.

Wall chaser – most important functional features:

  • Adjustable cutting depth.
  • For use in various types of materials (including hard materials such as concrete).
  • Torsional vibration damping system.
  • Appropriate disc diameter and high rotational speed.

Thanks to the cable chaser, installers can successfully work in walls without damaging them, which is particularly important in the case of electrical cables and plumbing installations.

Choosing the right cable chaser is crucial for installation professionals. A cable chaser is an efficient and reliable power tool that allows for safe and efficient installation work. By choosing tools from the Onninen range, you can be sure that the work performed will be solid and safe.

It is worth choosing proven solutions and professional tools that will ensure the appropriate quality of each installation.
