hello all.
In the past I've needed to do a spot of repairing of plaster cracks. I've usually cut an area out round the crack and gone back to blockwork for repairing.
So far I've always used a stanley knife to make the cuts, but this is time consuming (especially to get through the skim), and the blades blunt very quickly etc.
I currently have a builder in doing a spot of work. I notice he's got a little cordless grinder/cutter that has a rotating disk about 1-2mm thick.
Has anyone tried something like this to speed up the job of cutting plaster back? Or is it too heavyweight for the job and too likely to damage to blockwork underneath?
Always in favour of the right tool for the job. Even better if it can reduce the effort and speed things up.
