Hey everyone,

I am new here and recently discovered this forum. I was wondering if I can get opinions about drilling holes through concrete/brick in buildings.

I have noticed that on some jobs, they use coring drills with diamond wet bits to core large holes in concrete for conduit runs. I understand that they are probably more effective for going through rebar and larger holes.

If I wanted to a run 3/4" conduit through a concrete wall to reach the other side, what options do I have? I was thinking a regular sds plus hammer/rotary drill can accomplish this due to needing a smaller hole.

What size hole, drill, bit, and strategy do you recommend for this? (if possible)

Thank you
