Concrete drill grease??
I just bought a rotary hammer sds drill machine.
It comes with a cup of grease, Where are you supposed to use the grease? Do you put it on the end of the drill bits where the drill bits enter the machine? |

Thanks. that makes sense. Previously I have rented Hilti spline drive
rotary hammers. I had to drill a 2 inch hole and it was brutal. The bit IMO, was in poor shape. One of the side carbide cutters was missing and it was dull, if dull matters. I dont know too much about that. How well should a 2 inch bit move thru concrete? 4 inches took me 30 minutes to drill. I bought mine on EBAY, it is 1000 watt chinese drill and is much better than I thought it would be. it will do all 3 motions, hammer or turn or hammer and turn. and has wheel to adjust the speed. Came with 3 drills and 2 chisels and an adapter for a chuck. |

Came with 3 drills and 2 chisels and an adapter for a chuck. I found a technique that works, but is a little slower. but, it uses tools I already have. I have REALLY hard concrete, with this round red aggregate that I think is called Jasper, that is incredibly hard. Carbide bits just bounce off this stuff. When I tried to use carbide hammer drills (not the big industrial grade gear, but the homeowner cheapies) the progress on a 1/2" hole was about 1 inch per day, maybe! In frustration, while trying to drill a hole for a sink drain, I pulled out my air chisel (the auto body-type tool) and was amazed at the huge blasts of concrete dust it produced in seconds. When I had drilled as deep as I could with the piercing tool, I looked around the shop and found some rams from McPherson struts that someone gave me. I turned the end down like the tools on the air chisel, and it worked pretty well. Kind of a poor-man's pneumatic jackhammer. Not real great for drilling precise holes like for a masonry anchor, but works great for bigger holes for pipes, etc. I punched a 4" hole for a dryer vent (actually for my paint spray booth) in the wall in two afternoons. Jon Take a frozen orange juice can, and remove both ends. Cut an orange or lemon in half, and remove the pulp and fruit from one half, leaving a empty half rind. Slide it into the orange juice can, so the empty half of the rind faces out. Fill the rest of the can with any good high explosive. TNT, RDX, Comp B, Comp 4, or even dynamite. Punch a 5/16" hole down the center of the can with a piece of pointed brass at least 3 " deep, but dont puncture the fruit rind. Place the can, rind down on the spot you wish to make a 3" hole in the aggregate concrete. Place a blasting cap in the 5/16 hole, and then dump a couple shoves full of clean sand on top of the can. Find a sheltered location at least 100' from the can, take shelter and detonate the cap. Once the dust settles, you will find a 3-4" hole at least 12" deep in your concrete. Repeat as necessary. A small funnel may be subsituted for the orange or lemon, but may be more expensive than fruit. A note. Bananas do not work.

I read an SciFi story which revolved around the evacuation of a planet's colony. In the course of which an alien parasite was discovered after an illegal pizza party (pizza is banned because garlic is impossible to get out the air scrubbers.) Turns out the aliens are allergic to garlic.) So the final confrontation requires some means to get into the command center, without killing the humans, or destroying everything "No problem Captain, proper shaped charge ..." and garlic cloves get blasted through the bulkhead. Works like a charm.
