Has anyone tried using an sds drill with a spade concrete bit on wood?
The bit would be sharpened into a chisel grind first. would it work? Wood sds chisels are hard to get here.
thanks

Never tried them, but cheap enough:

out the mortice for a lock.
I would guess it would not be a great success. Wood chisels are hardened to a much higher degree than chisels for concrete, which have tio be very much tougher but don't need to be very sharp.
Imagine what would happen if you took your best wood chisel, put it on concrete and gave it a tap - the edge would break up immediately because the steel is very hard. Because the concrete chisel is softer you'll never get as good an edge on it for cutting wood.
I watched a paving contractor using the standard bit to break up a tree root. Bounced around a lot IIRC
