Why didn't you use the hammer action. I thought all masonry work needed hammer action

You do not use hammer action with core drills as it can damage them.

i had to a lot of these in a new site..it's faster to drill your core in a bit to get the shape then put your chisel bit in and break it out then run the core through again to get the final shape...saves time and saves your core..also keeps Your drill from heating up too much..cool vid,like the envelope idea

Great video. Just bought a core drill myself and I'm sure I would have left the guide drill in the whole way if it wasn't for your advice. It makes perfect sense to take it out, since the diamond core is acting as the guide. One thing though, it seems my guide bit isn't quite true - could it have come that way from the factory or is it an optical illusion, and does it matter? It's a Bosch core drill kit bought brand new, so I wonder if they're all like that.

It might be hard work getting it started if the drill bit is not running true, but you will soon find out! Hopefully it will be ok ;-)

There is not a lot of dust generated to be honest, but no problem if people want to wear a dust mask ;-)
