FAQs
What type of drill is required for this bit?
This drill bit requires a hammer drill with an SDS+ chuck system for proper fitting and operation.
What materials can this drill bit be used on?
It is designed for use on masonry, limestone, natural stone, and artificial stone. It is not recommended for wood, metal, or soft materials.
How does the tungsten tip improve performance?
The high-quality tungsten carbide tip is extremely hard and durable, allowing it to efficiently break up tough materials like concrete and stone, leading to faster drilling speeds.
What is the benefit of the S2 grade steel construction?
S2 grade steel is known for its toughness and resistance to wear and deformation, contributing to the drill bit's overall durability and long service life.
Can I use this bit with a standard drill chuck?
No, this bit has an SDS+ shank and is only compatible with SDS+ hammer drill chucks. It will not fit or function in a standard three-jaw drill chuck.
How long should this drill bit last?
The lifespan depends on usage intensity, material hardness, and proper care. However, its robust construction and quality materials are designed for extended, long-lasting use in demanding applications.
What does the 'working length' of 370mm mean?
The working length refers to the portion of the drill bit that extends from the chuck and is capable of drilling into the material, indicating the maximum depth of a single drilling pass.
Troubleshooting
Bit not locking into SDS+ chuck
Ensure the SDS+ shank is clean and free of debris. Verify that the drill chuck is fully open and that you are using an SDS+ compatible drill, not a standard chuck.
Drilling is slow or inefficient
Check if the material being drilled is within the bit's intended range (masonry, stone). Ensure your hammer drill is set to the correct hammer action and rotation mode. Clean the bit flutes to ensure efficient dust removal.
Excessive heat during drilling
Reduce drilling pressure and allow the bit to cool periodically. Ensure the hammer drill's cooling system is functioning correctly. Clean dust from the flutes frequently.
Tungsten tip appears chipped or worn
Inspect the bit carefully. If the wear is significant or the tip is badly chipped, it is time to replace the bit to maintain performance and safety.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Delivers high speed and accuracy for efficient work.
- Exceptional durability ensures a long service life.
- Tungsten tip efficiently breaks up concrete and hard materials.
- S2 grade steel construction provides robustness.
- Suitable for a range of hard construction materials.
Cons
- Requires an SDS+ compatible hammer drill.
- May be overkill for very soft materials or light-duty tasks.
- Specific size (18.0mm x 450mm) limits its application to appropriate hole sizes.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure your hammer drill is compatible with the SDS+ shank system.
- Turn off your hammer drill and disconnect it from the power source.
- Open the chuck mechanism on your hammer drill.
- Insert the SDS+ shank of the drill bit fully into the chuck.
- Rotate the bit slightly while applying gentle pressure until it locks into place.
- Reconnect the power source and test the drill briefly to ensure the bit is securely seated.
Compatibility:
- This drill bit is specifically designed for use with SDS+ hammer drills. It will not fit standard chucks or other SDS shank types (e.g., SDS, SDS-Max).
- Ideal for drilling into masonry, limestone, natural stone, and artificial stone.
Care:
- Cleaning: After each use, remove any dust or debris from the bit, especially from the flutes and the tungsten tip. A wire brush can be used carefully.
- Storage: Store the drill bit in a dry place, preferably in its original packaging or a protective case, to prevent rust and damage to the tip.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect the tungsten tip for excessive wear or damage. Check the SDS+ shank for any bending or deformation. Discontinue use if significant wear or damage is observed.
