- We are setting a laser up at the trophy house. The laser requires a 4 1/4 hole out the exterior wall to vent fumes. Since the wall is made of brick a diamond core bit will be used with sds max Bosch.
nice trick with the plywood when there isn't a pilot bit, we did this and helped a TON. Thanks for posting.
Appreciate it. Glad it worked.
The Ingersoll Rand 114GQC Air Hammer czcams.com/users/postUgkxqqoaX03nrziKwF7Bjjcc71YzLEleMvOS was just the tool I needed. I Use it to remove stuck bolts. If held at the right angle you can cut slightly into the bolt. Then turn the air hammer to where it will hammer the stuck bolt to unspin the bolt. Given a little practice it works great. This air hammer gives you the control needed to get the job done right. Very powerful yet still does not seem to have as much vibration as other guns I have used. One of the best I have gotten my hands on.
appreciate it
This is very helpful. I don't have a center pin for my core drill bit, and I used your tip of using a wood piece to anchor it, it works like magic. Thank you!
I believe diamond coring bits should be used with rotation only. NOT with hammering. They work by abrasion, not by impact. Looks like it works, but will reduce the life of the coring bit.
So I agree with your thinking. I thought I would give it a try and was hoping I wouldn’t ruin a bit on the first try LOL. However we have bored many holes this way since. I should’ve put in the video that I’m using fairly light pressure. Seems to be working fine for us. Thanks for the comment.
I've used hammer before and twisted and snapped the bit inside the chuck, had to get the chuck replaced. Never again
And clean
My hammer drill has a switch to change between "hammer" and "drill" mode. I guess the drill mode would be best to use. I plan to drill a 2" hole into clay block. It could be brittle, so I need to make sure it doesn't break up to much. I need to insert 2" PVC conduit, any ideas on how to seal the building between the brick and outside of the conduit? Maybe mortar, or outdoor silicone.
@@jpechacek80 maybe expanding foam? You can cut it flush once it’s set
It is a good idea to have a respirator when drilling through concrete for silica dust cement tends to have, and possible asbestos depending on the age of the home.
I have project coming up were I have to d a 4" hole. Thanks for the info! Great video. To the point and not a bunch of fluff
Thank You Sir
I wish I would have seen this before now! Good video Confident Home Solutions! That air system does suck...
I saw a bit of blowout at the exit around 8:30. Usually do pilot holes but its a big job. Holding a cinder against the wall when the core bit comes through will help reduce the blowout. Good use of the guide.
We bore holes different now. Same core bit and Bosch Rotary hammer. Zero blow out. It’s in one of our other videos.
I’ve been looking for a way to drill a 100mm hole in a brick wall for weeks as I don’t have a pilot dril bit and this is a great idea! I will be trying it out tomorrow thank you!!!
Awesome. Have a friend hold the guide and go in slow. You will be fine.
Thank you for the video, America's tradesmen are the "salt of the earth." (Master Plumber Builder's daughter.)
Thank You for that.
Those new bosh biturbo line as insane, you should try them
The assistant was getting awfully close to the job on this one without eye protection. Just saying. I really love your exactness on the process. Thank you both. Love your work. (I will remove this comment shortly. Promise.)
Thanks man. Don’t take the comment down. Appreciate it.
He had his safety squints activated
Great video. You make it look too easy, LOL. I'm not criticizing but there should've been some safety precautions included. Mainly checking for any wiring in the wall and some type of eye protection. What did the inside hole look like? Do you just use some sort of a box. Normally the exit hole looks much worse than the entry hole, that's why I ask.
Looks like a dream on those light bricks. It can be an hour in England.
despite the comments about water, hammering, etc..good job ,...I enjoyed the video ,...
I knew this would bother some professionals. Here’s my take on the water, if it’s a area that not finished and is solid concrete I’m almost always going for using water. If it’s brick that we’re drilling through and I have to worry about run off clean up I’ll go dry. We will typically run a couple vacuums then. Some people the rotary hammer drill is just going to make mad😀 It really came down to not wanting to carry so many tools in our rigs. I can only assume with your name I’m talking to a professional or sales so I’m preaching to the choir here. Appreciate the comment.
Hammer will shorten drill life and shorten bit life but hey ho, it worked.
Dude how have you been? Didn't know you had a station. Good for you.
Who this?
Thanks so much. It works great.
Any advise how to drill from the inside of the house without cause dust chaos? We would like to drill for an exhaust fan on the second story house.
That bores a clean hole-very nice.
Does this in anyway disturb the structure strength of the brick wall for the house?
Wow that’s a beast .
Just stumbled on this! Great video!
Appreciate that.
I need one of these for my 'studio'. 4 1/4" sounds about perfect size for..wait lemme check again down there..yep perfect.
Excellent video .
Thanks
Holy damn, thats insane
Beautiful
is the drill setting on hammer or drill only when using dry core bits? sounds like hammer setting is on
It’s a rotary hammer, there’s only one setting and like I said in the video we know it’s not recommended. We’ve ran them countless times without pushing to hard on the tool and there’s no visible damage to the core bit.
The core bit I got today comes with a center mason pilot drill bit, so you don't need the template etc... Super simple but not easy work, prepare for a workout.
Most contractor grade or rental cores don’t have a pilot bits
Good video -- Thanks!
Gotta ask, why in the World is a blower being attached to the dryer vent? Never heard of that, but obviously such products do exist for some strange(?) reason.
Did you have the hammer function on or off? Also, I've got to make a 3-1/4 x 10 hole for a range vent. Any suggestions?
Nice video
Thanks for the comment.
Thank you for the method and the tips.
One important comment: you neglected to wear safety equipment's namely goggle and mask.
Keep the good work and be safe.
Any issues with doing this at a slight angle? Need to drill a similar hole for a mini split ac and it needs to slope for drainage. Is it fine for the bit to do this at an angle?
James, shouldn’t be a issue. Especially if you use a thicker template.
If not start drilling straight for about 1/2 inch depth. Then restart the hole at the desired angle. By drilling it straight on at first the core bit want be trying to run away on you. You can do it👍👍
nice work. I want to install a wood stove chimney liner, but my old house has a brick chimney that was filled with concrete at the opening...so I'm thinking of cutting a hole as you're doing. think it will work?
What size hole (8”)?
I have a dumb guy question. Getting ready to run an 1 1/4 LB for electrical. How much bigger does the bit usually have to be?
I would strongly suggest wearing eye protection, and a dust mask
Hi what was the grease for? do all diamond drills need grease before using? also how come you kept stopping every now and again? I've never used this kind of drill that's why i ask, thanks
Grease is for the end of the core bit that goes into the drill. I typically will stop when boring to see if there’s anything such as mortar, brick, concrete that’s came loose in the cut cavity. Just cleaning the bit off.
Must use hammer drill in driiling hard surface for the sake of the bit
👍👍👍
NICE
Jesus that's a lot of lights when you walked through that house
I just want to make some kind of small hole for extension cords or cords ? Any suggestions? Thank you and God Bless you Happy. Easter
They make concrete drill bits up to an 1” I believe. If your going through brick or solid concrete it works good. If going through block I’d get a small core bit similar to what we have here. You can get them on Amazon or eBay fairly inexpensive. 1” would be the correct size and any full size drill should run that.
Cool.
I haven't drilled many 4 inch holes, but when I do I use a wet hole saw drill. I was wondering whether anybody has used both, and which is the best method.
Yes, I have used both methods, I found the water assist method less time consuming.
Nice video..
Do you have any info about the core bit and the adapter.
Thanks!
Amazon has both of them. I can’t remember what seller I used though. The thread for the adapter is 5/8 and for the Rotary hammer side that was used in the video SDS Max. The adapters are a little tricky to find though. Good Luck
Seems obvious but what did you use for the 1" hole for the electrical? I need to make some holes through my concrete block foundation to get some electrical runs outside and was just curious what you use. Similar coring diamond bit but just 1" vs 4.5"?
We actually have a sds max 1” bit. I’m going to cover more of this in a video soon.
@@campbellbuilt love your attitude. Def subbed. Looking fwd to more of your vids!
Appreciate that. Thanks for the comment.
Hi, where do you buy it?
If I had to use this system on a concrete wall with rebar in it, what are the chances of the bit binding in the hole and then the drill ripping my arms off?
Great question, most all rotary hammers have some sort of clutch. All of our large drills and rotary hammers have them. You really don’t need to be worried about getting hurt with a good tool. 👍👍
Ok, so I have a Makita, it should have a clutch in it? The reason I am so paranoid is I spiral fractured one of my Metacarpals with a 4.5" hole saw in wood with a quality Dewalt corded drill, so there was evidently no clutch in that one.
I understand. Had a older drill grab and I couldn’t fully use a couple of my fingers for like a year. Most rotary hammers have them also because they know the operator is using them on a ladder sometimes. I would make sure it does have a mechanical or electric clutch before I tried it.
I saw your comment and then this video came up immediately after. I guess positioning makes a huge difference. hope this helps. czcams.com/video/5TCgYR1huzQ/video.html
You can use Hilti with atc - active torque control.
I need to install a thimble for our pellet stove. I need to make 7 1/8” hole. I have an old house brick exterior and plaster walls inside with lathe. What would you recommend? Thank you!
I’m going to start a series of videos in the next couple days and I’ll touch on this topic.
Was that on hammer?
Do you use Rotary Only mode on the drill?
I'm finding that SDS Max drills don't have a Rotary Only mode. But my dry core bit says "rotary only" - no hammer action - it will destroy the teeth of the diamond bit cutter.
thanks for this video, on the drill setting, do you set to hammer drill or drill only ? thanks
Never drill core hole saws on hammer
@@Kingstonplumbing thanks
Not to be argumentative but we’ve bored many many holes in rotary hammer mode. The first time I did it was because the drill being used only had that rotary drill option. I figured it would ruin the bit but I was wrong.
I’m not recommending it but I’m definitely not saying you can’t do it because we’re doing it and will continue doing it with no abnormal bit wear.
@@campbellbuilt you are right. I did the same because The core wasn't cutting enough and the hammered action did the job flawlessly. The core carbide tip looked like new after that performance. Not recommended in all scenarios though.
@@Quisqueyax thanks for commenting
I answered and said, "If I have found favor in thy sight, O Lord, show this also to thy servant: whether after death, as soon as every one of us yields up his soul, we shall be kept in rest until those times come when thou wilt renew the creation, or whether we shall be tormented at once?" 76 He answered me and said, "I will show you that also, but do not be associated with those who have shown scorn, nor number yourself among those who are tormented. 77 For you have a treasure of works laid up with the Most High; but it will not be shown to you until the last times.
78 Now, concerning death, the teaching is: When the decisive decree has gone forth from the Most High that a man shall die, as the spirit leaves the body to return again to him who gave it, first of all it adores the glory of the Most High. 79 And if it is one of those who have shown scorn and have not kept the way of the Most High, and who have despised his law, and who have hated those who fear the Most High -- 80 such spirits shall not enter into habitations, but shall immediately wander about in torments, ever grieving and sad, in seven ways.
81 The first way, because they have scorned the law of the Most High. 82 The second way, because they cannot now make a good repentance that they may live. 83 The third way, they shall see the reward laid up for those who have trusted the covenants of the Most High. 84 The fourth way, they shall consider the torment laid up for themselves in the last days. 85 The fifth way, they shall see how the habitations of the others are guarded by angels in profound quiet. 86 The sixth way, they shall see how some of them will pass over into torments. 87 The seventh way, which is worse than all the ways that have been mentioned, because they shall utterly waste away in confusion and be consumed with shame, and shall wither with fear at seeing the glory of the Most High before whom they sinned while they were alive, and before whom they are to be judged in the last times.
88 "Now this is the order of those who have kept the ways of the Most High, when they shall be separated from their mortal body. 89 During the time that they lived in it, they laboriously served the Most High, and withstood danger every hour, that they might keep the law of the Lawgiver perfectly. 90 Therefore this is the teaching concerning them: 91 First of all, they shall see with great joy the glory of him who receives them, for they shall have rest in seven orders.
92 The first order, because they have striven with great effort to overcome the evil thought which was formed with them, that it might not lead them astray from life into death. 93 The second order, because they see the perplexity in which the souls of the unrighteous wander, and the punishment that awaits them. 94 The third order, they see the witness which he who formed them bears concerning them, that while they were alive they kept the law which was given them in trust. 95 The fourth order, they understand the rest which they now enjoy, being gathered into their chambers and guarded by angels in profound quiet, and the glory which awaits them in the last days. 96 The fifth order, they rejoice that they have now escaped what is corruptible, and shall inherit what is to come;
and besides they see the straits and toil from which they have been delivered, and the spacious liberty which they are to receive and enjoy in immortality. 97 The sixth order, when it is shown to them how their face is to shine like the sun, and how they are to be made like the light of the stars, being incorruptible from then on. 98 The seventh order, which is greater than all that have been mentioned, because they shall rejoice with boldness, and shall be confident without confusion, and shall be glad without fear, for they hasten to behold the face of him whom they served in life and from whom they are to receive their reward when glorified.
99 This is the order of the souls of the righteous, as henceforth is announced; and the aforesaid are the ways of torment which those who would not give heed shall suffer hereafter." 100 I answered and said, "Will time therefore be given to the souls, after they have been separated from the bodies, to see what you have described to me?" 101 He said to me, "They shall have freedom for seven days, so that during these seven days they may see the things of which you have been told, and afterwards they shall be gathered in their habitations."
102 I answered and said, "If I have found favor in thy sight, show further to me, thy servant, whether on the day of judgment the righteous will be able to intercede for the unrighteous or to entreat the Most High for them, 103 fathers for sons or sons for parents, brothers for brothers, relatives for their kinsmen, or friends for those who are most dear." 104 He answered me and said, "Since you have found favor in my sight, I will show you this also. The day of judgment is decisive and displays to all the seal of truth. Just as now a father does not send his son, or a son his father, or a master his servant, or a friend his dearest friend, to be ill or sleep or eat or be healed in his stead, 105 so no one shall ever pray for another on that day, neither shall any one lay a burden on another; for then every one shall bear his own righteousness and unrighteousness." .....2 Esdras 7:75

If you use water the bit be last long
If I had been going into concrete rather than brick I definitely would have used water. Thanks for the comment .
How does the block look like inside did it blow out?
We measured and scored the Back side using the plywood again. Footage was lost. We had a go pro inside for that and well that’s typical for go pros. They loose footage quite often.
Wow
Will that work on Stone on a house ?
Absolutely
They use the word punch we use the word drill
Now do that in a 300 year old stone cottage with 20 inch thick walls..
Challenge accepted. I just need to find a house like that first :-).
@@campbellbuilt 😆 Crickhowell in S Wales the stone was so hard sparks were coming off the chisel in the end I just removed the stones in the wall and made good after, I'm still getting treatment for the PTSD.
@@leedaniels1468 I understand brother.
time you get mens tools Hilti or Festool and some Makita
Take it off hammer

Speed very slow
Awwww mannnn. They are for hi speed drills. Bye bye core tips!!!
