As part of a newly renovated bathroom and utility room I need to create a hole for a tumble dryer vent through the external wall which is plaster-brick-brick-render from inside to outside. Its seems my two options are:
(1) Buy a core drill piece (circa £50) and get busy
(2) Drill a series of smaller holes with the (lengthy) masonry bit I already own and chisel out the gaps to create the hole.
I feel like the second option is going to give a shoddy finish at best given that it is an old victorian property and the walls are prone to a bit crumbling around any significant drilling. Should I just bite the bullet and buy the core drill bit?
Will my current drill be man enough for the job?
