Product Information

Full details

This Faithfull SDS Plus Circular Cutter (FAISDSBOXCUT) is designed for electricians and builders needing to quickly and accurately create recesses for electrical back boxes in blockwork and brick walls. Its primary benefit is saving significant labor and time compared to manual methods. A key consideration is that it requires a lightweight 2kg SDS fixing hammer with a rotation stop function for optimal performance and safety. The system efficiently cuts 77mm round holes and is compatible with SDS Plus rotary hammer drills.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What type of drill do I need for this cutter?

You need a lightweight (approx. 2kg) SDS Plus rotary hammer drill with a rotation stop function. It should not be used with standard drills or hammer drills without SDS chucks.

What materials can this cutter be used on?

It is designed for use on blockwork, soft brick, and concrete.

What size hole does the cutter make?

The cutter makes a 77mm round hole, suitable for standard single or double electrical back boxes.

Does this set include the back box?

No, this product is the circular cutter system. The electrical back box itself is not included and must be purchased separately.

Can I use this with any SDS drill?

It requires an SDS Plus chuck, and critically, a rotation stop function. Not all SDS drills have this feature, especially older or very basic models.

How do I maintain the cutter?

Clean off dust and debris after each use and store in a dry place. Inspect the TCT tips for wear and replace if they become significantly blunt or damaged.

Is this suitable for dry lining walls?

No, this cutter is specifically designed for cutting recesses in solid masonry materials like brick and blockwork, not for drywall or plasterboard.

Troubleshooting

Drill not engaging or cutter not spinning.

Ensure the drill is set to the correct mode (hammer drill with rotation, not just hammer-only or rotation-only) and that the SDS shank is fully seated and locked in the chuck.

Slow cutting or excessive heat.

Verify the drill has sufficient power and is set to the correct speed. Check for blockages in the cutter head. Ensure you are using the correct material type (block, soft brick, concrete) for which the cutter is designed. Allow the tool to cool if it overheats.

Cutter binding or getting stuck.

Do not force the cutter. Retract slightly and adjust the angle of entry. Ensure the recess is not obstructed by rebar or very hard aggregate. Use the included chisel to clear obstructions if necessary.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Creates clean, precise 77mm holes in masonry.
  • Durable TCT cutting edges ensure longevity.
  • Designed for common SDS Plus rotary hammer drills.
  • Includes necessary SDS drill and chisel for initial setup.

Cons

  • Requires a specific type of SDS hammer drill (2kg with rotation stop).
  • Primarily suited for block, soft brick, and concrete; may struggle with harder materials.
  • Not suitable for drylining or plasterboard applications.
  • The 77mm hole size is specific; may require adjustments for non-standard boxes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure your SDS Plus rotary hammer drill weighs approximately 2kg and has a rotation stop function. This is crucial for safe and effective operation.
  2. Insert the SDS Plus shank of the circular cutter into your drill's chuck until it locks securely.
  3. If using for the first time or after storage, check the cutter head for any debris.

Compatibility:

  • Compatible with all standard SDS Plus rotary hammer drills.
  • Requires a drill with a rotation stop function (often found on SDS drills designed for chiseling).
  • Intended for use in blockwork, soft brick, and concrete.

Care:

  • After use, clean any dust and debris from the cutter head and shank.
  • Store the cutter in its protective case or a dry environment.
  • Periodically inspect the TCT cutting edges for signs of wear or damage. Replace if significantly blunted or chipped.
