Its just that I need to make a large hole through a wall for pipework
and
have a 40cm x 20mm standard masonry drill bit but only a short 6" x 22mm
SDS
drill bit. Just wondering whether I can make use of the longer non-SDS
drill bit in hammer mode in the standard chuck. What's the worst that
can
happen?

The chuck will last for exactly 3 holes, and the bit somewhat less.

Is that the voice of experience speaking ? :-)
