Title: RE: [ukha_d] Making holes...

I tried that with the Hoover, still found the dust got everywhere. did 2 rebates and cut the rest with hammer & chisel... took longer for each rebate but still less time overall

Have to say that cutting holes/channels with asn angle grinder is much the
same - the dust is phenominal! - Id either of 2 things in this case...

1) Get SWMBO to hold the hoover immediately next to the work area, to suck
up 90% of the dust as it is produced. (only a few of my tools have dust
extraction built-in...)

2) Don't bother with the power tool at all - good old fashioned lump hammer
and bolster chisel makes hardly any mess at all, although it does obviously
take a bit longer...
