That's a mighty good idea, Au..thank you! the terrain is rugged and it's 15 to 20 min walk up a 30-35 degree slope, but I think it can be done. It'd be much cheaper than buying a Shaw portable rock core drill!

Well I have done it that way for drilling Hi grade harded concret so it should do the job,
That Makita Drill has a clutch so if the core jams it will not snap your wrist, it has a D shaped
rear handle and a screw in side handle so you will not hurt your self, ok and you do not
us it in the hammer mode with Diamond core bits just use it in the normal mode and it
will eat up the rock, the core bit comes with a centre pilot bit so but a couple of the just in case.
Once I have the core bit chewing into the rock i take out the pilot bit so it does'nt snap off because
if it does that hole cant be drilled, you only need the cup or teeth to be 1/2" / 13mm in the rock and
then remove the pilot bit it the rock is not too hard then leave it in and all will be good, OK

AU

good luck

OH YES, and if you want you can run the drill without water as they are surpose to be used that way too
so the water is only an option

It has the ground grab button which is From the GMT, and they have now started fitting on the new fishers and others
the grond Grab that is on new machines dates back to 2001/2 when the GMT came out.
they have added 7 tone ID , also an adjustable back light, there is the normal 3 modes with 4 sud modes = 7 in total,
also you can lock the pinpoint mode which helps if you use a Sun Ray Probe,
