Ark Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 Does anyone know if you can get a drill bit that actually a chisel? I need to cut a small channel in a concrete floor to lay down a telephone cable, and if I try doing that with a cold chisel and a hammer, it'll take until June 2007!! So, can I get a chisel kind of attachment thingy for my hammer drill? If so, what's it called, and where can I get one? ta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suprafish Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 angle grinders the best thing to use with a small stone cutting disk, just done the same thing at mine but with network cables. cheap ones only cost £20 from B&Q. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 Also you need an SDS drill with rotary stop. You can get these fairly cheap, nice bit of kit and much better for drilling masonary too. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gaz1 Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 better bet go to hire place get a 9" grinder with a diamond disc, that will cut about 3"inch deep, wear a face mask and goggles, cut the 2 lines, then hammer and bolster dead easy mate:d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless of course it's outside or the mess don't matter? Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jspec Germany Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 Start off with grinder for edges, then use chisel in Black and Decker Hammer Drill on chisel setting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
