The time it takes to drill a hole depends on the material being drilled, the size of the hole and the machine doing the drilling. But you knew that. It takes longer to chuck a bit in a drill than to actually punch an eighth inch hole through a piece of quarter inch plywood. But drilling a one inch hole through a twelve by twelve framing timber takes longer. Particularly if you're using a brace and bit. Are you drilling a four inch hole through a twelve inch thick slab of reinforced concrete? Roll up your sleeves and make sure you have a good water supply to lubricate and cool the diamond coring bit on your rig. Planning on punching a thirty inch hole through a thousand feet of mixed earth and rock to mount an emergency rescue effort of some trapped miners? Order out for some lunches. You and your crew will at this one for a while.
