My point exactly. Don't expect a ten minute break every hour to be anything like enough.
To answer your other post, I'd be astonished if you get a reply from Bosch.
I have a few items which give advice on intermittent rating, but can't find any immediate examples. Decent quality kit which is "at risk" often has a thermal trip. So you might get away with something like that Bosch, but the fact remains it is not the best solution for your application.
There's a big difference between that and getting 10 minutes out of 60 (which is what I think you suggested). Something in between the two might be OK, given my limited requirements.
I would have rather bought something like an SDS drill/hammer for this application simply because I don't own one already, but I couldn't see any with the options I needed. I have a couple of battery-powered drills already and don't really need another one. I have a cheap mains drill but it is not up to much. At least the Bosch drill is from their Professional range rather than their DIY range so investing in it will give me a drill which is significantly different from what I have already - more power, more robust. My last Bosch mains drill lasted many years and was from their DIY range. Hopefully this one, if I buy it and, er, don't melt it ... will last at least as long.
Well, I asked them two questions: lowest speed to which the drill was settable, and run-time at 100 RPM. I would hope that they will at least answer the first.
There is no ideal solution. The best engineering approach would be expensive. Or it would require parts I don't have. If I'd done something like this before I would have experience as a guide as to what to choose for a different approach, maybe cobble a solution together, etc. If I knew more about electronics I might look at coupling a speed controller to an old washing machine motor. If I wanted a long-term solution I would have to go for something robust. But all I really need just now is something that will do the job on and off for a few weeks. So a pragmatic approach is needed.
I'd give it half an hour maybe. It's weird reading this thread, he's so sure he knows what he's doing yet doesn't, it's not going to work for long
Those 3 are of course cobblers
yet he totally refuses to consider one.
I don't usually stand on the sideline saying it won't work, but in this case... it won't work.
