The first time I done that was through a 6mm csa, cable feeding a
cooker
unit. I drilled through a door standard with 16mm spade bit and not
realising there was cable behind it, BANG !!! FLASH !!!! WALLOP !!!
Me
frightened out of my wits and the cooker out of commission until we
removed
the facings and finding out if it was possible to run another cable
without
ruining the rest of the house. Ahhh (sigh) those were the days.
:-))

Using a spade bit to chop thru a cable, now that's gotta be class!

Could I enquire what shape the spade bit was in by the time you
finished with it?

LOL

It never drilled anymore holes and was retired to the big spade bit
store
in
the sky.


Mate of mine actually drilled through the leccy co`s main incoming cable
which was buried in the wall, a bright flash and big bang ensued. LOL :-)



Ouch !!!! Now that's gotta' hurt. :-))

That's where plastic casings on the tools really comes in handy, eh ?
