This. I've known a couple of guys over the years who have developed silicosis and seeing what happened to them scares the shit out of me. A well fitted dust mask is a must when doing this type of work.
The only way I'd do anything like this with an abrasive blade is with a proper wall chaser and dust extraction system but I'm guessing that over a grand for a decent wall chaser and an extra Monkey for an M class dust extractor is a bit spendy for some DIY.
I do have access to a proper extractor etc as my brother is tradesman type but I am still thinking it's overkill. I'm definitely thinking more drill and chisel now. Seems the more sensible approach for some DIY.
