Only time I've ever broke through PVC was a 2" washer trap. About a week before, they had re-sheetrocked the closet that was on the other side of the wall behind the washer. Drilled a 2" sheetrock screw into the trap and my cable got hung up on it. When it snapped loose, KA-POW! it just shattered a 1 1/2" hole in the side of the trap.
In 12+ years, that's the 1st time I've ever broken a PVC pipe with the small machine. Had a heck of a time fixin' that one, had to cut the wall, replace the entire stand-pipe, trap and elbow (all glued)... so I feel 'ya brother...
You like using spade bits JH? I've got one on my truck and I swear, I've never tried it...always been a blade man...
"I had a cop ask me why I carry a gun and I told him "Thirty years ago I would have jumped into the bush and beat your ass. Twenty years ago I would have just ran away. But now I can't do either. And I am too old to get an ass whooping." Drainsmith
