I need to drill a 90mm hole through 400mm of no fines. Doesn't need to be perfectly round. Any suggestions ? I could get about 50mm with an sds.

400mm!!

That's a big ask. It will be very snatchy. Have you thought about hiring a decent core drill and bit?
 
A core drill through no fines ? is that even possible ? Using a drill bit is bad enough.
 
Oh, missed that! Crikey.

In that case then pilot drill the centre with whatever is long enough, stitch drill from each side, then mash about with a chisel, drill and whatever you can to tidy it up.

Yes, sleeve it, as it will be a right jagged mess inside.

What do you mean by sleeve it ?
