Reply to comment by Davidsaj in Is there a cheap way of making a 1” drill hole bigger (2”) in a granite wheel without taking it to a drill guy? by Wokebro369
They rent out diamond core drills? Lol. Guess it’s worth a check

Maybe not at a hardware store, but certainly at a construction equipment rental business.
Something like Battlefield: https://www.battlefieldequipment.ca/

Even some Home Depot stores have smaller diameters

You will may have to purchase the diamond core bit in addition to the drill rental fee.

Usually the rentals will come with 2 bits with the size of your choosing, and as long as you don’t totally toast them, they are included in the price of the drill…

Yes, home depot will rent you a Hilti core drill no questions asked. Used it on a curb once.... dont tell the city lol

They are called core drills…and it’s what you need. A water hose hooks to them to lubricate and dissipate heat, and they usually need a generator to plug into, as they are 220. But, they will make short work of this.
It’s what is is used to put entrance holes in foundations and stem walls.
Should be like 80 bucks to rent one for 1/2 a day.

pro tip…drill a 2” hole in a piece of plywood ,center it up and blue tape it down. stand on it to hold it in place as you drill. hold the drill up an 1/8 or so and let it get up to speed,then ease it down gently. alternatively, make up some bar extensions to slide over your existing bar.
