Hi, as title,
I need to run in a long drain from a new sink to be fitted. It needs 50mm nominal pipe as the run is about 10m.
Anyway, I need to drill about 60mm holes into the edges of a stud wall, Murphies law says I will choose to drill where there are some screws/nails in the way.
What type of core drill should I get? Carbide tipped, or just buy two or three HSS types and accept the wear and tear of going through the nails? There is plasterboard on top, but if need be I could gently chisel that out before drilling. There are 3 holes in all to be made, and all walls a notionally Timber with bolts and screws holding things together.
