Quoted text begins.Greetings All,
I've just finished a large (50 lb.) alabaster eagle bust &
plan to mount it on a base using 3/8" threaded stainless rod.
Problem: I've never drilled alabaster before. Would greatly
appreciate any how-to advice on drilling alabaster.

End of quote.
Hap---Do you have a bit of scrap to test on? Have never drilled
alabaster, but have had good luck in softer limestone using wood
working bits (Paddle bits and forsener bits) and rotary drill
only. Don't think that I would want to take the hammer drill to
something like that. Good luck
JVC
