Hi guys,
My first time owning a drill so please be gentle with me, I have done quite a bit of bolting before but with someone else's drill. Now I finally have my own which is a Milwaukee Hammer drill. Now I purchased what I assumed would be the right bit which is a masonry bit but for some reason when I tried it out on my rockery (which happens to be limestone) but it seems to be taking forever to drill a hole. It normally takes it 30 seconds from experience, but I gave up after 2 minutes, after only making an inch of progress.
Now I really hope I have not purchased the wrong drill! Its two weeks before I leave for Armenia, is it the bit, do I need a more expensive one? Before anyone asks, yes it was spinning the right way and yes I had engaged hammer mode.
Any ideas???
