boring through tile?
I have this brick/tile stuff that is structural for this build. The
building is 70+ years old. Home Depot has a bit that I can bore through the brick/tile that is just a hair over 4" OD. I have a scrap of steel pipe I want to put through the hold to reinforce the brick/tile after I bore the hole. This steel pipe is about 4.5" OD. I can rent the bit and drill from Home Depot to make the initial hole, but still need to increase the hole diameter for the steel pipe. I thought of using some sort of grinding stone to make the hole bigger for the steel pipe. Is there a better way to make the hole or to widen the hole for the pipe? Once the pipe is in the hole I plan to concrete around the pipe and fill the voids in brick/tile. Once the concrete (Sackrete Sand Mix) hardens I'll run a 3" schedule 40 septic pipe through the steel and spray foam the space between PVC pipe and steel pipe. TIA Mike |
