I had to core drill through pre-cast concrete the other day. First I cut out the bottom plates in a square pattern using a sawzall and then chiseling out the back end of it so it would pop out and still leave a little bit of meat on the backside of the bottom plate. The bottom plate wood was really dense, and went through about 10-15 sawzall blades (50 holes). Used a good one to cut all the way through except the last eight inch and switched to a junky blade when it were to hit the concrete. It took forever and was wondering if there is a better method to cutting the bottom plate?? (circ saw??) Anything will help!!!! Thanks!!!
