i've had the usual junk mail through the door but this one looked interesting.
my used would be for chopping socket boxes into a wall.

just curious to know if anybody has any personal experience info on these?

I once saw one posted on the TT forum, but I can't find the post!

They are expensive and so I would be tempted to hire one first to ensure it is suitable

that's what iw as thinking too but usually when something is expensive it does save a lot of time which is what got me thinking about it.

think i might hire one for my next job to see then

If you look down the page a bit you can see I asked about one once! I managed to borrow one from a mates firm for a weekend to cut some sections through a block wall.

It was just as dusty as my Stihl petrol cutter. It wasn't as noisy, but no where near as powerfull or as comfortable to use.

I used something similar to cut out a doorway once, it's a cumbersome machine, very hard to get straight cuts and is also very dusty, like a standard cutter would be.
