Hello. I'm trying to drill through a wall in my loft, from inside to outside, so that I can feed CCTV cabling (eaves too narrow for the cables).
I am drilling with an SDS drill and drillbit. I can get through the first layer fine, but then I hit something that the drill just won't get through, lots of vibration. Drill is definitely set to hammer and drill.
I'm going through at a slight angle, could that be the problem? I've tried in two different places (I thought I may have been hitting a concrete lintel) but still no joy.
I'm using this drill

and this bit

I've got a picture of the wall from when the house was being built, so I can see the construction of it. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?
