Heavy‑Duty SDS‑Plus Carbide Masonry Bit – 4‑Cutter, 40Cr Steel

SDS-Plus Masonry Drill Bit

The SDS-Plus Masonry Drill Bit is a high-performance tool designed for accurate drilling in tough UK building materials such as concrete, brick, stone and blockwork. Built with a premium 40Cr steel body and a YG8C tungsten carbide tip, this bit combines exceptional durability with long-lasting sharpness. Moreover, its 4-cutter cross-head design and S4 spiral flute provide smoother drilling with reduced vibration and faster dust removal, ensuring maximum efficiency.

With a standard SDS-Plus shank, this bit is compatible with all popular SDS-Plus rotary hammer drills. Therefore, it is a versatile choice for UK tradespeople, builders and DIY enthusiasts alike. Whether for construction sites, home improvements or industrial work, this bit consistently delivers reliable, long-term performance.

Material

Body Material: 40Cr Steel – A high-strength, heat-treated steel that resists fatigue under constant hammering. As a result, it provides the toughness and reliability needed for demanding UK construction environments.

Tip Material: YG8C Tungsten Carbide – Renowned for superior hardness and wear resistance, this carbide tip stays sharper for longer. Consequently, it cuts smoothly through concrete, brick and stone with ease.

Brazing Material: Copper – The tungsten carbide tip is securely brazed to the steel body using copper. This method improves heat resistance and prevents the tip from breaking loose during high-impact drilling.

Parts

• Steel Body – Made from 40Cr heat-treated steel, giving the bit strength and durability to withstand repeated hammering.

• Tungsten Carbide Tip – YG8C carbide insert provides sharp, precise cutting power for tough masonry.

• Copper Brazing – Ensures the carbide tip remains securely attached under high heat and stress.

• Spiral Flute (S4) – Four-flute design quickly clears dust and debris. As a result, drilling remains fast, clean and efficient.

• Shank (SDS-Plus) – Secure, slip-resistant shank compatible with SDS-Plus hammer drills for stable drilling.

• Wear-Mark Indicator – A visible marker near the tip signals when the bit has worn down and needs replacing. Therefore, users can maintain consistent accuracy.

• Sand-Blasted Finish – Corrosion-resistant, smooth surface reduces friction and allows for easy extraction from drilled holes.

Applications of SDS-Plus Masonry Drill Bits

The SDS-Plus Masonry Drill Bit is highly versatile and therefore suited to a wide range of applications across the UK:

• Concrete & Masonry Work – Perfect for drilling anchor points, through-holes and fixings in solid concrete walls, slabs and foundations.

• Brick & Stone Projects – Effectively penetrates clay brick, stone paving and blockwork.

• Construction & Renovation – Essential for utility installations, stud work and fixings. Moreover, it performs well in both residential and commercial projects.

• Repairs & Retrofitting – Suitable for adding shelves, railings or fixtures securely into hard substrates.

• Home Improvement / DIY – Ideal for garage walls, tiling, garden projects and general household masonry work.

• Industrial Applications – Works efficiently in reinforced concrete, granite and marble when used with a rotary hammer drill.

Best for UK Conditions

UK construction often involves dense concrete, tough brick and abrasive stone. For this reason, standard drill bits can quickly wear out. The SDS-Plus Masonry Drill Bit is specifically designed to meet these challenges. Thanks to its premium 40Cr steel body, YG8C tungsten carbide tip, and S4 spiral flute, it ensures smooth drilling, efficient debris removal and outstanding durability.

Therefore, it is the ideal solution for contractors, tradespeople and DIYers in the UK who need a bit that can withstand demanding conditions while delivering consistent results.

Key Features of SDS-Plus Masonry Drill Bit

• High-Strength 40Cr Steel Body – Heat-treated for maximum toughness and fatigue resistance.

• Premium Tungsten Carbide Tip (YG8C) – Stays sharp and durable for longer, even in abrasive materials.

• High Hardness (48–53 HRC) – Optimised for wear resistance without becoming brittle.

• 4-Cutter Cross-Head Design – Distributes impact evenly, reducing stress and vibration. As a result, holes are straighter and cleaner.

• S4 Spiral Flute (4-Flute) – Clears dust rapidly, keeping the bit cool and extending lifespan.

• Wear-Mark Indicator – Ensures accuracy by showing when the bit should be replaced.

• Heat-Resistant Construction – Copper brazing secures the tip and resists breakage under high temperatures.

• Standard SDS-Plus Shank – Fits all popular SDS-Plus rotary hammer drills securely.

• Sand-Blasted Finish – Resists corrosion, reduces friction and makes extraction easier.

Fits SDS-Plus Rotary Hammers

The SDS-Plus Masonry Drill Bit is designed to fit all standard SDS-Plus rotary hammer drills. This includes leading brands widely available in the UK such as Bosch, DeWalt, Makita, Milwaukee and Hilti. Because of its secure, slip-free shank, it provides excellent stability and efficiency during drilling.

As a result, this bit can handle the high-impact hammering required for drilling through concrete, brick and stone, making it the go-to choice for demanding UK masonry applications.

FAQs

Q1: Can these bits fit all SDS-Plus hammer drills?
Yes. The SDS-Plus Masonry Drill Bit is universally compatible with all SDS-Plus rotary hammer drills, including Bosch, DeWalt, Makita, Milwaukee and Hilti.

Q2: Is the carbide tip replaceable?
No. The carbide tip is securely brazed to the steel body for maximum durability and heat resistance. Therefore, it is not replaceable but it is built to last.

Q3: Will the bit stay sharp in dense materials?
Yes. Thanks to the YG8C tungsten carbide tip and the 4-cutter head design, the bit maintains sharpness and resists wear even when drilling repeatedly into dense, reinforced concrete or stone.
