Which shroud cutter to buy
The selection and purchase of a shroud cutter depends on many factors. First of all, we compare, for example, the diameters of pipes, including the dimensions of the fasteners, possibly the thermal insulation, the casing layer, and the technical capabilities in this regard of the power tool. Also, the intensity of exploitation is taken into account - it is not advisable to buy an expensive device for a one-time or rare strobing. If you need speed in work, attention is drawn to engine power and the quality of the cutting discs. The value has the ability to adjust the width of the groove and the depth of cut. In addition, the reputation of the manufacturer influences the choice.
1. For wiring, fit B1-30 from Fiolent and GNF 20 CA from Bosch. The first model can be bought to repair your own apartment, the second - to the construction team for regular use.
2. For the installation of cables and small diameter pipelines, ZSh-1500 from Zubr and GNF 35 CA from Bosch will be good assistants. The German tool has a professional focus.
