I've researched a variety of suggestions from a hammer and a star

drill, to
drilling a ring of small holes in a circle with a carbide bit to

renting or
buying a diamond tipped core bit. What's the best way of doing it so

as
NOT to crack the block?



How about a carbide hole saw?


If you don't mind the noise, a ,22 rifle can get the job done. Watch
out for block & bullets bouncing


I'll keep that in mind.
