FAQs

What type of material is this drill bit designed for?

This drill bit is specifically designed for drilling into masonry materials such as concrete, brick, and stone.

What is an SDS Max shank?

An SDS Max shank is a type of drill bit fitting used in heavy-duty rotary hammers, designed for better power transfer and secure locking compared to standard chucks.

Can I use this drill bit with a regular drill?

No, this drill bit has an SDS Max shank and is only compatible with SDS Max rotary hammers. It cannot be used with standard drill chucks.

How do I maintain the drill bit for longevity?

Keep the drill bit clean by removing dust and debris after each use. Store it in a dry environment to prevent rust and inspect it for damage before use. Consider sharpening if it becomes dull.

What are the dimensions of this drill bit?

The dimensions are a diameter of 12mm and a length of 340mm.

Is this drill bit suitable for wood or metal?

No, this drill bit is engineered specifically for masonry and is not intended for use on wood or metal, as it may not perform effectively and could be damaged.

Troubleshooting

Drill bit does not lock into the chuck.

Ensure the bit is fully inserted and try rotating it slightly while pushing. Verify you are using an SDS Max chuck and that the chuck is clean and free of debris.

Slow drilling speed or excessive heat.

Check if the bit is dull or damaged; sharpen or replace if necessary. Ensure your rotary hammer is set to the correct mode (hammer drill) and is functioning correctly. Avoid excessive pressure; let the tool do the work.

Bit gets stuck during drilling.

Try reversing the drill direction to loosen the bit. If still stuck, carefully try to wiggle the bit while applying slight outward pressure. Ensure you are drilling straight and not at an angle.
