Is it possible to drill 4 14mm holes in a 600x600 slab? If so what would be the best way to tackle this?

Thanks

i just did this very thing so i could install some recessed deck lighting.

My slabs were, 600x600x35,

I used a hammer action power drill, drilled a 6mm pilot hole with a masonry bit just to help me line up, then drilled the actual hole with a 13mm masonry drill bit,

Worked fine for me.

I can't improve on Muzz's wise words other than to suggest the flag being drilled be laid on a bed or a bag of sand to absorb and cushion the inevitable vibration.
