Here is an update to a previous post: https://surveyorconnect.com/threads/circular-saw-blade-adapter-for-drill.322318/#post-324839
One of my bowling buddies' grandpa gave him his old drill set and it had the adapter I was seeking.
I call it my Darwin Adapter:
Well, that doesn't look too dangerous, but I'd never put a toothed blade on it. The biggest risk, other than dust in your eyes, is probably letting it twist and bind the blade, throwing the drill around in your hands and bending the shaft and blade.
BTW, are you practicing pincushions? I see two nails, the new cross, and possibly a small pipe in that chunk of concrete.
O! That? Ah jus splits de difference 'tween dem nails! Solomon says....
The reason I thought about that is the cross doesn't look centered between the nails.
Attaching the side handle to the drill will make it easier to handle.
That blade fits in my angle grinder.
be careful out there
Continuing the armchair surveying...Looks to be an old lead and tack corner on the left hand edge (missing the tack/tag)....could be bubble gum I guess.
I use those blades in my angle grinder without the guards. Great for hacking out holes in block walls, and trimming paver bricks to fit. They are not as dangerous as they look, but they do nastys on the knuckles very quickly.
Just get one of these, especially if you already have the battery and charging system, I have one and use it daily to set control cross cuts in kerbs, i have given up on studs , steel nails or steel pegs , this is easy.

Ha! That's what we call a 'section corner' down here in Indian Territory. :pinch:

For years when I attended the University of Arizona I would follow the same path from the parking lot, past the bank, and onto the campus. I noticed, among all of the others, a particularly persistent blob of black gum on the sidewalk by the bank. Years later I was surveying that bank, the instrument operator directed me to a property corner, and there was the same blob of black gum, except I realized for the first time it was a lead plug, and the rod was right on top of it.
