Lol , same here 😂

Same

Just happened to me as well. Here we go.

Hello! Happy i came across this comment. I am in the same boat and cannot afford to have dust. My wife runs a daycare and there must be minimal dust produced even if kids are not present during off hours. I have a 7' inch grinder as well. I look forward to hearing from you.

You’d be there 5 times longer & put in 20 times the effort. Speaking from experience

Those pneumatic chisels suck man. Only thing I use it for is for small vct areas. Up to 200sqft or less

You need to post a video then. I did it and it is a nightmare without a vacuum system

​@@donaldclemmons5980 I dont know if a pneumatic chisel is any more powerful than electric chipping hammers by Bosch's big ones or Makita's Medium sized ones, both of which I've used on commercial construction (structure shell form work for concrete pouring) for over 20 years, and HATED, for after a pour after the concrete is hard, cleaning off excess concrete around concrete column bottoms ( the base of a column where it adjoins perpendicular to a floor slab ) and would much prefer to grind it off. Mechanical Chiseling or Chipping is NO FASTER, don't believe a word from that post, it's torture on your hands, forearms, and wrists especially, when done repetitiously. Site foremen & superintendents know this and are leary that if/when a worker gets fatigued they may carelessly gouge the surface of a freshly poured slab at the base of a column and so they're always on your case to be careful about that, and that's exactly why I would prefer to use one of these instead. But they're set in their ways, and want to see a guy busting his tail earning his check, if they see a worker using one of these they'll portray it as if that worker is taking "the easy way out" blah-blah...etc etc.. Maybe on a "side job" , infrequently, once in a blue moon, mechanical chisel/chipping is tolerable, but for repetitious routine recurring work it becomes one of the reasons why workers doing that task start looking for other jobs/work.

I believe that is correct. From Australia.

@@murrayshaw7539 It's called thin set in Canada too, probably called that everywhere if you're an installer

LOL yeah its loud for sure! but new home in a new community so everyone getting work done. I kept it within decent times of the day and talk to my neighbors on regular basis, no complaints during the demolition.

Excellent question and I'm facing the same issue... If you may be generous enough to spare the time, could you share how you were able to do it?? 😭

I would say it removed about 85% of the dust, I did cover countertops and cabinets with plastic and closed off the hallways with plastic to make sure I contain the dust. There was some dust on the plastic covers but it was a very thin layer. Good luck with your project!

Bad idea. You'd at least want to patch over it first if you were going to do that, but it wouldnt be very even, so for click products you could run into some issues there, gluedown not so much

yeah i figured ill just explain the setup since grinding thinset is not as exciting but i guess you would want to see the level of dust if any. So on that, ill just say that I had very low to almost zero dust but you have to keep an eye on the dust separator bin, that puppy would fill up quick.

About 2 days of work, the total area was about 600 sqft

2 day 1100 square feet

As long as you can find the correct vacuum attachment then I dont think it would be an issue, the thinset comes apart fairly easily. I guess it also depends on the size of the job and how much time you want to spend charging batteries.

why?
