Spinny Posted June 27 Posted June 27 I have already drilled a 20mm hole in position for an outside tap. I need to drill it out to 35mm to take the Frosti tap I have bought. I cannot seem to find a 35mm Masonry drill bit that does not have an SDS fitting (it needs to be over 300mm long). I don't own an SDS drill. Can I buy a converter somewhere so I can fit an SDS ended drill bit to my standard hammer/non-hammer (non-SDS drill). I see hundreds of adapters to fit a standard non-SDS ended drill bit into an SDS drill, but am yet to find one the other way around. (PS I only need to drill one hole. I have already drilled through the two concrete block leafs at 20mm with no problem using my non-SDS drill at 20mm. So answers that say 'buy an SDS drill' are not helpful to me.)
Conor Posted June 27 Posted June 27 (edited) It'll l fit in the chuck as is, no adapter needed. You might ruin the shank of the bit, but hardly a concern if it's once off use. Be aware with a bit that big (I've never used over 25mm), it might be bit of a struggle, and there will be a lot of strain on your drill. A clutch is needed. Edited June 27 by Conor
Beau Posted June 27 Posted June 27 (edited) 35mm is very big for any masonry bit. I would look for a cheap diamond core drill bit and set up a simple guide on the wall so its guided down the right line at the start. Normally you wouldn't need a guide but as you are just enlarging an existing hole I think it would be necessary Edited June 27 by Beau
dpmiller Posted June 27 Posted June 27 you can, if your careful put SDS in a normal chuck... and a cheap TCT core will do it
Eric Posted June 27 Posted June 27 I have used SDS drill bits in a Makita hammer drill, not ideal but any port in the storm.
