I just used an every day masonry bit. Start with a smaller diameter bit and work your way up. If you try to drill too large a hole the rock may break. Also, do it outside and wear goggles: it can be quite messy. Have fun

Hi Jason

What size of hole are you drilling.

I have 4 or 5 small diameter masonary drills if you want to borrow them.

They are good enough for small diameter dowel system.

Don't forget a hammer drill if you can get one, depending on the rock and hole size it may be quite tedious without one.
