Hi,

Been looking at this:

(DeWalt D25313K 800/395W in/out SDS+)

http://www.powertools2u.co.uk/mall/p...ctid=D2531 3K

It's rated at 65mm core drilling which is more than I'll need most of the
time.

Except, I will need to make 110m holes in brick cavity walls on exactly two
occasions, maybe 3 if we include a new connection through a sewage
intercept chamber wall.

Does the panel reckon I'll get away with overloading it if I go easy?

It's either very expensive to go upto the specified capacity, or I get a
cheapie powerful SDS, but I'm concerned that none of the cheapies seem to
suggest they have a safety clutch. I value my wrists.

Most of it's work is going to be chiseling and 28mm-ish core drilling. It's
going to get a lot of use for about a year.

Cheers

Tim

110 metres seems unusually large. Can't you make them smaller?

Ahem, silly typo... 110mm

I'd drill a series of small holes round the outside of the circle to
reduce the load.

I think a tactical nuclear weapon should do it.

Probably, I put a 110 mm core through a concrete wall using an 18V battery
drill, only flattened three batteries.

Just stop and have a break occasionally if its taking a while.
Take the load off the drill occasionally too and let it run at full speed to
cool it down.

I suggest it depends how hard the bircks are. I have a core drill with a
diamond cutter but on some bricks it is still an hours job.

This could be a case for hiring the tools needed and still DIYing the work.

What a stunningly good idea. Well done that man.

I reckon the DeWalt would cope anyway, looks like a beastie.

Cheers to everyone who replied. Reckon that's about the level of machine to

I had to make a similar sized hole through brick for my boiler flue and
couldn't be bothered with a hole cutter - I simply removed the required
number of bricks then cut them and replaced. Of course this is an old
house with fairly soft mortar.

Depends on when the clutch lets go, but chances are you will be ok if
you take care to drill very straight and only apply light pressure.

I have done a number of 107mm cores with my 780W Makita 2450 which again
has a max theoretical core size of something like 60 - 70mm.

Thanks John,

this is the sort of empirical evidence we like

I've only got bricks to worry about, and in 2 skins, so it sounds like I'll
be fine.

Have you considered just removing a couple of bricks using your SDS in
chisel mode? 110mm will normally fit between courses - if that is suitable
position for the application. Then carefully cut replacement ones and make
good.
Large holesaws are expensive and probably not worth it for the odd hole.

Also a good point Dave.

Bloke I work with got a set like these:

Quite reasonably priced I thought...

I used #20255 from www.toolstation.co.uk its £12.84 + an arbor and a pilot
drill, (total about £20) well worth it.

Its a bit short, so you start it off and knock the center out when it gets
too deep (I used a lump hammer and chisel).

They are indeed. I was thinking of considerably more for just a '110'mm
one.

On an aside, was down B&Q browsing the SDS section to try the weight and
feel of various machines. Found one make to avoid (safety clutch concerns
aside):

"Performance Power" brand - very very cheap. The display model was shedding
ball bearings and springs from the knobs. If it can't stand kids fiddling
it's got no chance in real life, given what's it's made to do.

OTOH, B&Q did have a multi-piece piece core set for sensible money,
different set size, but comparable cost/bit to the CPC one.

OT: lots of clearance sales on gardening machinery (Tunbridge Wells branch,
but probably a universal policy given they need to make way for Hallowe'en
then Christmas paraphenalia). Esoteric (eg leaf blower and edger)
Ryobi-type Expand-it attachments going at a decent discount. I'm waiting
for the chainsaw attachment to get discounted so I can get one

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember Tim S saying
something like:

intercept chamber wall.

Hire a Hilti SDS-Max + 110mm core cutter for the day for very little
money and do all three holes at the same time.
