Would this work in a 5 gallon bucket with 1/4" hose to run water on diamond drill bit to cut stone? Thank you.

I would guess the flow rate of this pump would be too high. I use 3/8" hose and it is almost as strong as an streaming garden hose.

That will work... But, keep in mind, water is also the cooling medium for the pump. Also, the pressure coming out isnt as strong. For a drill, you would probably need something with a higher output.

to answer your question yes it could pump water from your 5 gallon bucket, however, you will need to reduce the flow somehow. I think that you would pump to much water. i use mine for a salt water tank, sump. i use 1/4 inch pvc to push water up 2.5 feet. however, i also have it split with a valve to have a portion of the flow go back into the sump. This pump moves a lot of water.

This size fits on five gallon bucket. But the wire bail that fits on bucket to empty basket. Handle over 4 ft long. Very nice tool!

i drilled a 3/4" hole in a lowes food grade bucket and it worked fine, it has not leaked, the gasket that it comes with is somewhat cone shaped so it fit well.

It should mine is in 5 inch pvc I have plenty of room around the pvc pipeing and the pump is around 3inches in diameter my well is onl;y 100 ft deep and pump is set at 60 feet I wouldn't worry about setting it in 4inch pvc as long as there is plenty of water I use it for watering yard

Granite fabricators use water and power tools all the time, not submerged mind you. If just the bit went into water i think it would be fine. Or with a spray bottle start the hole wet then once its started fill the hole with water and take small bites with the drill bit keeping it wet the entire time. Do not let any water get get near the electrical motor ect.

It will work on any bucket up to 4" thick. Recommend the ratcheting binders to hold them in place. Not for HD lifting

we have not used it for that, but it drills glass with no problem using a diamond bit. It is a powerful drill so I would say it can! I like this because it is stable for a desktop drill, while many seem to either loosen up or are never stable because of their size and weight distribution. Sorry I cannot be more specific to your question.

I think that a 1/4" bit will fit into the chuck, but the motor doesn't have the torque to push it through anything harder than wax. This machine is a sweet running little drill press, but it is seriously lacking torque. It is only for drilling very small holes in light or thin material. It took me several minutes to drill a 1/8" hole in 1/4" aluminum. Good machine for what it's made for.

This model can be used with either 1gallon or 5 gallon buckets...I wouldn't recommend any can size smaller than a 1 gallon.

I wouldn't know. I think it should. This thing is freaking amazing. Fine dust particles fall to the extra bucket and being that water is heavier than fine dust, In theory, it should. I mainly use it for saw dust. I never thought of doing it but now you got me wondering. I guess I should try it.

I'm sure they would, I used mine on 5 gal buckets from Lowes and they are about the same thickness.

I tried it with 1/4 inch and there is not enough pressure to go more than a few feet. I wanted to do my raised garden. Spent a lot of time piecing it together and the connectors broke as I was setting it up, then it did not work after the first 3-4 feet. I took it apart, plugged the sprinklers into 1/2 inch and was good go to.

Yes absolutely, I last used it to drill several 4 1/2" deep holes with great ease, just remember to clear (move drill in and out of hole) bit about every 1/2-1" !

Suggestion, it might work. Switch out bucket with a very tall five gallon. sit directly on floor

It might work, but it depends on the rubber line's inside diameter. 3/4 inch would probably work fine. 1/2 inch would probably run the generator but you might find it "starved" under heavy load conditions.

I also use it for modeling (Games Workshop; mostly grinding and cutting) and it won't fit anything smaller than a 3/16" drill bit. Although if you're looking at buying this, I hope you don't need it for more than 5 minutes, otherwise the battery will die.
