For channeling, dodging behind coving etc one of these in a variable speed
drill works a treat. You will need an offcut of a bolt to screw into the
female thread and give the chuck something to grip.

Interesting adaptation of a milling machine!

I'm leaning down the weekend hire route at the moment, at least it will
make
sure I've got a "professional" tool to do the job.

Not many to do (4 drops at the moment) but I'm bound to hit something
slightly more solid that will defeat this!

Now to work out how to get the cables fed behind the coving without
destroying it.....

Jim,

There's this:

roduct.html

It might just do the trick if you've only got a couple of cables to bury.
You can download the manual from the above link too. I think I've seen them
in Homebase in the past.

However, if you've got more than one or two cables you'll probably be
better
off with a wall chaser and/or SDS drill.

HTH,

Tim.
