2 Post Base Plate Holes: Drill Through?

[Majordisorder]

Is there any benefit to drilling the holes clear through the slab? If a bolt ever broke it could be driven clear through and replaced. Just curious and about to start drilling some holes.

From what I have read on here that is the prefered method

 

[T-Mac]

directions for my lift recommended drilling through slab for that exact reason

Thanks for the quick replies. The only crisp 3/4 " bit I currently have might go over 7" and thats what I should have in the lift area.

Drill through. If you have an anchor pull up while tightening you can knock it down and install the next size up.

That is good advice, glad you thought to ask.

That is the preferred method from everything I have ever read. I, however, did not drill through my concrete because I used 7" and 8" Wedg-its (?) with a 10" bit and a floor thickness of aprox. 16". I won't be moving it anyway.
