I just nearly took my face off drilling for a cooker hood. Core bit bound up missed my face by an inch. I don't even know what went wrong I have drilled them multiple times before.
A right angled drill would have allowed you to work from the top and saved time and hassle of dropping the cooker hood. Well worth investing in especially if your running cables /pipes through joist especially in old houses
Be careful with the sizing of the flue pipe. Max 3mtrs of flue is recommended and every elbow adds 1/2 mtre because of air restriction.Adhere to the manufacturers recommended size as many extractors require a 150mm flue as a minimum. The 100mm flue in this video is not very effective and is only any good for very small extraction rates also all connections should be taped or glued to stop air leak. Remember if the flue isnt sized correctly ,it wont extract and the resulting Guarantee call out would result in a charge!
Yeah no problems, because is was rectangular duct I was using - I would have had to put an adapter to circular on the end to get out. That would have meant raising up the ducting all along the top of the cabinet or using circular all the way. That would have lost me usable storage space on top of the cabinet.
Nice job! I wish that mine was at ground level rather than than on the first floor 😐 Don't fancy cutting out the core on a ladder... then again don't fancy paying seventy quid hiring a platform! 🙄 How's it doing after six months? I think I'd worry that that length of ducting in 100mm would cause the motor to work a bit hard. I'm sure it's fine though, I'm just a worrier 😀
One of the best videos on the subject the workmanship at its class
Perfect. Great job.
Excellent.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Cooker hoods require at least a 5 inch ducting, you look like you have used 4 inch? You will burn the motor out if you have!
I've got exactly the same job to do. Can I ask why you elbowed up before exiting rather than going straight out?

Ah I see, makes sense. Thanks!
Great vid, very helpful
Can I ask why you didn’t take the extractor pipe straight out the back wall ? Why take it all the way down to the end ??
Because it would go into my front room
Hiya
Do u have also boiler flu adjacent or its something else
There is a boiler flu on a different wall
How much time it took for drilling only?
About ten mins max
I have the same dewalt drill which cutter did you use, where can I buy one please with the sds bit
I’ve had it some time, I think it was a screwfix purchase
