Sept Tools

Wall grooving for electrical and plumbing chases

French brushless wall chasers for straight, clean and reproducible electrical chases without bulky external extraction.

Wall chasing is the key operation in electrical and plumbing renovation. Every metre of recessed conduit goes through this step, which determines project speed and final patch quality. Too often, chasing is still done with pneumatic chisels, manual angle grinders or rough routers. The result is slow, loud, hazardous and dust-generating. Sept Tools offers a dedicated brushless wall chaser that transforms this operation into a fast, clean and accurate motion.

Méthode traditionnelle vs Sept Tools

×

Chisel / manual angle grinder

  • 1 day for a standard apartment
  • Excessive noise, neighbours and occupied site impossible
  • Silica dust everywhere, OEL compliance impossible
  • Irregular chases, slow patching
  • Shoulder and back MSDs by end of week

Brushless Desman chaser

  • 2 h for the same apartment
  • 60 dB(A), occupied site without nuisance
  • IU33 Longopac: source capture, compliance respected
  • Calibrated straight chases, fast patching
  • 0.38 m/s² vibration, full day with no risk

Challenges and solutions

Technical challenges and answers

Chisel noise on occupied site

Le problème

Chisel at 100 dB(A) in occupied dwelling: complaints, time restrictions, lost contracts.

Sept Tools

Desman brushless 60 dB(A): no restrictions, permanent cohabitation.

Irregular chase poor patching

Le problème

Manual angle grinder: chipped edges, variable width, double patching time.

Sept Tools

Desman 1600 W: 35 mm depth, calibrated width, fast patching.

Multi-section complexity

Le problème

ICTA, multilayer, copper sections: three different tools or constant resetting.

Sept Tools

Desman tool-free depth and width adjustment in seconds.

Grinder silica unlawful

Le problème

Angle grinder chasing: 300x OEL 0.1 mg/m³, immediate enforcement notice.

Sept Tools

IU33 Longopac HEPA H13 source capture: exposure divided by 50.

Serial RSI overhead

Le problème

Overhead or serial chases: shoulders strained, vibration 0.38 m/s² vs 8 m/s² from chisel.

Sept Tools

Scourpio exoskeleton: weight transferred to belt, vibration 0.38 m/s².

Stalling in reinforced concrete

Le problème

Old load-bearing walls: carbon blade overheats, machine stalls, blade breaks.

Sept Tools

Brushless 1600 W constant torque plus diamond blades for reinforced concrete: stable pace.

Use cases

For which job sites?

Apartment renovation electrician

Full apartment chases in 2 h instead of a full day with chisel. Residential and tertiary sector: 40 to 60 linear metres per shift.

New-build plumbing recessed

Wider chases for multilayer, PEX or copper on residential programmes. Desman sets width and depth in seconds: 30 to 50 linear metres per shift depending on section.

Office fibre and automation cabling

Fine clean chases for RJ45, fibre, alarm and home automation in offices and hotels. 50 to 80 linear metres per shift.

Industrial expansion joint work

Creating or refurbishing expansion joints and flexible sealants on industrial slabs and walls. Constant width across the full run, 20 to 40 metres per shift.

Frequently asked questions

Your questions, answered

Do I need a dedicated vacuum?

Yes. To meet silica thresholds and keep the site clean, an IU33 Longopac or equivalent is required. A household vacuum has neither the airflow nor the filter rating.

What is the maximum chase depth?

The Desman chaser reaches 35 mm in a single pass, sufficient for nearly all standard ICTA conduits and plumbing tubes.

Can I chase reinforced concrete?

Yes, with appropriate diamond blades. On dense reinforced concrete, the throughput is roughly 30% lower than on brick or block.

Does the machine work for corners?

Chasing is done in straight runs. For corners, plan two intersecting chases. Plaster patching ensures continuity and conduit pull-through.

What is the equipment payback period?

For an electrician handling three renovations per month, the machine pays for itself in 4 to 6 months thanks to time savings and elimination of chisel, grinder and site vacuum overhead.
