[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 2701060, member: 15054"] Practice... or have a buddy look while you drill.. or you could stand a couple short straight cut 2x4's up around thye drill area to give you a perspective of where straight up is. I would drill all the way through to the sand under it when setting anchors in concrete . That way if you mess it up you can pound the anchor down and out and install another one. Really hard to pull them out. When I was setting 3/8" in concrete to build rack systems I could drill well over 100 holes before the bit started dulling. Those can be sharpened. Keep them from getting too hot helps.. when we core drilled holes we poured water while drilling but never any water for simple anchor holes. [/QUOTE]
