I assume we're talking about diamond core drillls here?
You'll need extension pieces as well in order to get through a 2 foot thick wall.
Always drill a big pilot hole first as this does two things:
1) Allows the core drill to centre for initial starting (once started by about 25mm then remove the core drill centre guide)
2) If the core drill gets stuck (and it will!) you can tap it out through the back of the pilot hole using a long steel bar.
I have found that using big diamond core drills on damp walls can cause jamming as the 'dust' becomes a stiff paste and wedges everything tight in the wall. To avoid this I run a 'slow' hosepipe onto the cut and this seems to wash out the debris as you drill and stops jamming.
Just beware of water + leccy drill............
