Hi. We are doing a DIY kitchen/half bath renovation. We have been planning the DWV routes to try and avoid drilling through studs as much as possible, but it looks like we will need to bore holes in at least about 3 studs - one will be to accommodate 2" PVC and the others will be to accommodate 1.5" PVC. We are dealing with 100 year old 2x4's so the true dimensions are very close to nominal (maybe only about 1/8" smaller).
We are hesitant to spend the money on a right angle drill for this limited purpose and our local home depot does not rent them. Is there another technique that you would recommend? We have a jig saw and a reciprocating saw but not sure if either of these would be appropriate. Since we are already pushing the limits for maximum hole size on non-loadbearing studs, we would like to try and keep the holes as small and clean as possible.
Many thanks in advance for any advice you could offer!
