How to Cut an Inspection Chamber Riser

[@sdgelectronics]

Probably would have been an angle grinder for me. Nice job.

4inch isn't big enough so you'd need a 6inch grinder plus it tends to melt the plastic and flick hot plastic bits at you 😂 I know from cutting the riser for the sewage plant. A jig saw would probably do the job too but I didn't have a long enough blade

Hello Aiden - I know this comment is off-topic to this video - have you ever considered galvanised screw in piles for foundations - it can save an incredible amount of concrete used and digging time. Kind regards Crow from Australia

[@THE-AIDEN-PROJECT]

Hi, yeah I'd like to use them for an outbuilding. I'm planning on on building a cabin in the middle of the field so using screw piles would be good for that

Kool Aiden- I use the GOLIATHtech brand of helical screw pile here in Australia - it’s crazy the percentage of the build budget that gets spent on concrete - I am always trying to think of alternatives - regards Crow

Hey. Nice video, thanks for sharing! I wondered whether you might be able to help with a drainage project queation. I have bought the 450mm polydrain cover and chamber, and the cover sits loosely on the chamber (I'm not using a riser as I don't need one to make up the level). I think there should be a rubber seal between chamber - does the type and size of seal differ depending on if you are using a riser connecting to the cover or going straight from the chamber to the cover? Reason I ask is that I bought a riser ring seal online and it doesn't seem to be thick enough and the cover just moves around loosely still. Thanks!

Hey, so for some reason all covers are slightly loose regardless of using a gasket. The cover usually has a few screws that come with it so you can screw it into the side of a riser. That secures it enough and then cement haunching does the rest. It's not a water tight seal though. If you wanted to get a better water seal you could put a good helping of CT1 round the underside of the cover where it will come in contact with the chamber

might be inspection cover

Sounds about right

Table saw!? Saw the fence to the width/depth and just roll it round over the blade til you’ve got through all the way round..

[@thepeginator2556]

I expect most people use a grinder!

[@THE-AIDEN-PROJECT]

Haha that sounds like effort unless you have one set up 😁

@@THE-AIDEN-PROJECT I’m surprised you don’t have one in the workshop under the lodge! They’re one of those tools, once you have one you wondered how you managed without it. There are certain cuts it’s almost impossible to do with anything else, especially repeats of those type of cuts. Take it from me, if you get one, get a decent one first time, the dewalt I’ve got now is pukka but the but the cheap nasty draper thing I bought first wasn’t worth the metal it was made of.

@@thepeginator2556 😂 I've got one in the workshop under the lodge, it's an Axminster 😉 I just haven't set it up yet! I bought it so I can make my kitchen in the future

[@thepeginator2556]

@@THE-AIDEN-PROJECT I remember now seeing you getting it and the planer. I’d forgotten about that. Worth spending a few hours setting it up!

Unbranded riser looks like a floplast one

I think you're right there
