SDS will do it, but will make a mess on the break-out side. Drilling a

Or if there's access, drill the pilot and then drill the "last inch" or
so of the hole from the other side.



Thanks for the suggestion. However in this case I have access to one side
only.

Use a TCT core cutter. Use hammer until you are within the last 2cm (go by
measurement) then turn hammer off and go slow. The last 2cm will take some
time but you should come out with minimal damage.

Thanks for your help Tim. I shall probably do the job in the way you
describe, so I get a hole big enough to be able to use some adequate
sleeving.
