Drilling into granite and river rock
Hi Everyone,
I have a question for those of you who can help. I have never drilled into
rock, but I would like to drill a hole into granite approximately 4-6 inches
deep, with a diameter of 1-1.5 inches. I will then drill the same hole into
river rock. I am attempting to anchor them together with a 1- 1.5 inch steel rod and epoxy
them. I am attempting to anchor a large river rock to the granite for the use
of a chair. Being a total novice, I don't know what type of equipment to use.
I currently have a Craftsman hammer drill with a 1/2 inch chuck. I need to
know all of the other equipment I will need and whether the drill is
sufficient, or if I need something better. I intend to do several of these so I want to have the right equipment. Also, is there a type of epoxy you recommend to attach steel to
rock?
Thanks so much...
Jim
