Is there a Bulgarian with two disks?
This type of power tool is considered specialized, which increases not only its cost, but also the rarity of the name. In other words, it will not be possible to find such a Bulgarian in a simple store. As a rule, only expensive brands are engaged in the production of such equipment, which is most often used by large construction companies.
Why can this type of cutting machine be used? Its main purpose is to make grooves for laying an electrical cable in solid materials. The Bulgarian is equipped with two diamond discs, the distance between which is set by means of special washers. This distance is selected depending on the required groove width.
There is quite a logical question: if this tool is so expensive and rare, is it worth it to buy? Buy this equipment in order to use only once, it makes no sense, but if the master is engaged in professional repair work in this area, then such a Bulgarian will pay off fairly quickly.
Important! Before buying such an expensive tool, you need to make sure of its quality and reliability.
Alternative tool for the house
Two-disc Bulgarian can be useful in the house, but how to save on purchasing it? The answer is simple: make it yourself. In the process of improving the usual Bulgarian there is nothing difficult. In addition, there is no need for intervention in the mechanism of the instrument. It is enough to buy:
- One additional diamond disk;
- Multiple washers for clamping;
- Special protective cover.
In other words, the modernization process will take no more than five minutes of time, and after using the Bulgarian it is possible to return it to its original state. Important! The protective cover must cover both discs to avoid injury during work.
Procedure for improving the tool
So, when you have acquired all the necessary components for the improvement of your power tool, you should start to upgrade it. To do this, remove the standard protective cover and replace it with a wider one, bought specifically for this case.
Now put the first diamond disk in place and fix it with a clamping nut. If the thickness of this nut is equal to the width of the required groove, then no additional washers are needed. We put the second disk and also clamp it with the purchased spare clamping nut. All! The two-disk self-made apparatus is ready for use.
Important! Do not forget to use safety glasses or a mask when working with such a tool. Pay attention to the type and power of the standard tool. To ensure that the two discs do not exert a great effort on the work of the motor of the tool, it is worth buying a bolgaru more powerful.
The described example was tested on an apparatus whose power is 1800 watts. Weaker types of instruments should work, in theory, but it is better to be safe by buying a stronger electric tool. Thus, you can work not only with soft materials, like gypsum board, but also with a harder surface.
