Chaser cut through the wall with little effort and the dust extraction worked well. Unfortunately it still requires the centre of the chases to be removed by hand, so still ended up with a mess!
Unfortunately the dust extraction then lost all suction and became useless. Had to switch to Henry! On returning the machine, I was told I should have been shown how to clear the filter and that there is a YouTube video to this affect! This somewhat has left a sour taste to the whole experience.
