I have an SDS and apparently it has a clutch, so might try that core drill to start with, cheaper that buying a load of big SDS bits and hopefully the lack of hammer action means less chance of cracking. If it fails it's not too much money wasted.

Worth a try. In my experience core drilling is a slow process but I've not tried holes that small. Quite often helps to have some water cooling the bit. They might be quite difficult to get started, you need a pilot hole to stop them skating.

Yeah will try with an 8mm pilot. I wondered about water, neither the listing or the reviews mention it but probably can't hurt. I think I'll need to drill them on the floor which means getting the brackets plumb and in the right spot will be tricky but they do have a little adjustment.
