Cutting 12" Diam hole in blockwork wall
OK chaps - suggestions please.
I need to cut a 12" diameter hole in a workshop wall construction of which is a single skin of 9" x 18" x 4.5" 7 newton concrete blocks. Now I've all sorts of drills, angle grinders, hammers and even demolition breakers, so the problem isn't removing the material, the problem is doing it without the wall collapsing !!! Current plan is drilling a circle of (say) 1/2" holes with a masonry drill and wiggling it from both sides to hopefully join them up without disturbing the rest of the structure. (I'll probably select a spot where the hole is fully bridged by an 18" block - position within a few inches doesn't matter. Any other constructive suggestions very welcome. (this is for a huge 3900 cuM/Hour extractor for a CNC plasma table down draught exhaust) Andrew |
