OK, what is the answer. I live in Australia and most houses are built in brick with the walls being plastered. I can repair and paint walls well, but after painting I need to install screws for shelving, pictures etc.
I have multiple types and sizes of masonry drill bits and a hammer drill. What are the secrets to getting a neat hole that will take a rawl plug without breaking large holes in the plaster ??? Suggestions as to hammer vs non-hammer drills, drill speed, drill bit type etc are welcome.
Regards, Pieter
