Hello all,
Your advice please: I need to create a number of holes for cables through some pretty substantial bits of building as follows:
1) ~1m horizontally through solid stone
2) ~1m horizontally through brick (possible loose infill)
3) ~1m vertically though a brick arch
Each location will need a hole of ~50mm to allow the cables to pass. An acceptable alternative would be 4 x 25mm hole.
Now, past experience in this building tells me that I can make a 25mm hole easily enough with a solid SDS bit and a little bit of patience.
Should I be even considering using a core drill? My fear is that towards the end of the hole at ~1m deep it'll be near impossible to break out the core.
Cheers,
Tom
