Slots in Poroton T12

Hey, as described above, I am looking for a way to make the slots for the cables myself.

On the internet, there seems to be no upper price limit for wall slotters. I know that you end up buying twice if you buy cheap. Therefore, I’m simply looking for opinions here on whether purchasing a wall slotter around 200 EUR is worth it. If yes, do you have experience with specific models?

Another question: Is it even possible with the wavy T12?

Best regards Florian

There are also rules to follow when slotting. Do you know what you have to pay attention to, is it even allowed for a layperson to do slotting? Those would be the first questions I would ask myself. After that, I would go to Bauhaus and borrow one there, because you probably won't need a wall groove cutter ever again.

Borrowing is usually much more expensive than buying and then selling after use. From my experience, the cheapest way is to buy a good device used on the internet and then sell it again. Regarding the actual question, you can also make the slots with an angle grinder, you just have to go along twice, but we have done that too. If you can live with the dust that will happen anyway, then that would be the easiest, after all, you have an angle grinder...

Hello,
the option with the angle grinder is an absolute last resort to "quickly" create a forgotten slot. Nothing more! The dust development is absolutely gigantic!
You can't get around a _good_ wall groove cutter WITH extraction.
Don't forget respiratory protection, you don't want that dust in your lungs...

Best regards,

Andreas

I did say, the dust is enormous, but in the shell construction not so bad. In the finished house, I would definitely avoid it. In terms of handling, I even found the [Flex] better than an [MNF], which I had borrowed from the craftsman, so a proper one...

You should also be able to handle an angle grinder if you want to chase properly. A wall chase machine will forgive you for all that, but an angle grinder will fly around your ears.
