hey folks I wanted to give you a quick
demo today on how to use a hole saw on a
standard cordless drill to drill through
a stucco wall and typically you'd want
to do this for installing a line set for
a mini split air conditioner something
like that so here I started with a
cordless drill that had a nice gear box
and you could do it at low speed but the
battery was dead so switched over to the
cheap drill no gearbox actually it broke
in speed control and it works fine you
can see when you hit the wire in the
stucco it'll jerk the drill but it's not
a problem you quickly get through the
wall getting forward about 45 seconds
here and you pull out the plug for the
stucco so no problem there you can see
the wire here where where you hit it
where it catches on the drill but it's a
carbide tip drill and it goes cuts right
through it and after the stucco it's
pretty easy you've got some layers there
and you go through the drywall and you
get into the insulation so a couple
notes about the diablo carbide tip hole
saw there so one nice thing is it comes
with a standard high speed steel bit you
can easily swap in a carbide tip center
bit what you want to do here and you can
see it didn't damage the carbide tips at
all and it's deep enough you can go
through both the stucco and drywall in a
single pass if you if you need to so yep
that's it it's a pretty straightforward
even with minimal equipment
