Cabling floor chases
Le problème
Recessing high voltage, low voltage and fibre into the existing slab.
Sept Tools
Desman chaser: economical alternative to raised technical floor.
Sept Tools
Professional concrete floor grooving
Brushless floor chasers for straight cable grooves, recessed cabling and technical paths in concrete slabs.
Concrete floor grooving is a less frequent operation than wall chasing, but it appears systematically in indoor underground network projects, data centre technical paths and electrical renovation of older buildings. Groove accuracy conditions cable installation, patch quality and final sealing. Sept Tools offers two brushless floor chasers sized for intensive professional use.

Sept Tools
IU33 Longopac coupled: exposure divided by 50, sealed bagging.
Dense reinforced concrete
Le problème
Blade overheating and machine stalling: throughput drops, operator tired.
Sept Tools
Constant brushless torque plus dedicated reinforced concrete diamond blades.
Frequently asked questions
Your questions, answered
What is the difference between Desman and Taupe?
The Desman handles narrow chases from 5 to 30 mm for cabling. The Taupe covers wider sections up to 60 mm for plumbing tubes. The two machines complement each other to address every floor chasing need.
Can I groove a damp screed?
Yes, provided the screed is firm. The IP65 rating protects the machine from residual humidity, but a fully fresh screed risks sticking to the blades.
How can edge chipping be avoided?
A steady feed rate and an appropriate blade prevent chipping. Sept Tools supplies specific diamond blades for hard and reinforced concrete depending on the substrate.
How many metres per blade?
On standard concrete, expect 80 to 120 linear metres per blade. On reinforced or very hard concrete, lifespan drops to 40 to 60 metres. Blades always in stock in Roanne.
Is there a jamming risk?
The brushless motor includes protection electronics that cut rotation on blockage. The machine restarts on trigger release, with no risk to operator or mechanism.
