hi my name is Giuliano Prieto a general
engineering contractor with Prieto
engineering in Los Angeles and today I
will show you how to drill into concrete
the materials that you will need to
drill into concrete are a hammer drill a
concrete drill bit and tape that will
stick to a metal drill bit the first
thing that you will need to do is locate
the area that you will drill I have
indicated it right here as an area with
a crosshair today I will demonstrate
drilling into concrete utilizing a
three-quarter inch concrete drill bit
made by Hilty I'll be using a healty
hammer drill and the connection into the
hammer drill will be called an SDS max
connection so now I'm going to insert
the drill bit into the hammer drill pull
back the locking mechanism insert the
drill bit and rotate until it drops into
place once it has gone into place let go
of the locking mechanism and test the
drill bit to ensure that it is locked
into place and that there will not be
any safety issues the next thing that
I'm going to do is use a little trick
that I learned from one of my guys and
what he does is based on the depth that
he will measure he takes the tape
measure
measures the drill bit to the depth
indicated today we will go down three
inches I'll take a pencil and Mark the
drill bit about three inches in once you
have a piece of tape cut out find the
location marked previous put your tape
around and go all the way around making
sure that you do not go below the
indicated dimension
squeeze it around the drill and now
you're ready to drill the last step
prior to drilling is you want to place
the tip of the drill at the center of
the crosshairs once you have that in
place then you are ready to drill as
such
all right once the tape has hit the
surface now you know that you've
achieved your specified dimension my
name is Julianna Prieto with Prieto
engineering and I thank you for watching
