here in nashville , having a guy come out and cut that would be about
200 , or you can rent the stuff at sunbelt for about 1oo for a half day
and do it yourself ,

as to using water with a dry bit , it is perfectly acceptable , we use a
five gallon bucket with a couple of drops of joy detergent in the water
and use a small cup to pour down the side of the core bit , pulling the
bit and flushing with water and air every couple of inches ,


if you think it cuts well dry , try it wet you would be amazed



Thanks for the encouragement. I hope to set up for it tomorrow. Water won't be
a problem since the job is to make a drainage sump in a pit bigger. Some ****
(guess who) didn't make the sump big enough to hold two pumps and float
switches :-(
