Re: [OT]ish - Tools for chasing out walls for conduit

["Simon McCaughey" <simonmcc@xxxxxxxxxx>]

When we built I asked the contractor about using one of those shaped
bits,
but he said that they leave a channel that is too smooth, and the plaster
doesnt stick as well. I just ended up using the standard chisel bit, and it
was fine.

A good heavy duty SDS drill is a must though - I borrowed the contractors
stuff, and it was great (sorry, I cant remember make model etc)
