Depending on the weather, and the temperature of the stone/rock the expansion, usually, takes about 24 hours. Sometimes, it takes more than 48 hours to see the substantial crack.
The technique that I developed for myself is the following; I usually make the first hole using a 5/8 of an inch drill bit. And then I enlarge this hole by the 3/4 inch, in the video, you can see that the first hole goes much slower than the following one. This way it’s much easier for Bosch to drill a smaller hole and then to enlarge it with 3/4. Plus 5/8 inch is also much chipper than 3/4 and I while I drill holes, I change drill bits often, allowing them to cool.
