Material

• Body Material: 40Cr Steel – A high-strength, heat-treated steel that provides excellent durability and fatigue resistance under heavy hammering, ensuring long-lasting performance in demanding construction environments.

• Tip Material: YG8C Tungsten Carbide – Known for its superior hardness and wear resistance, the carbide tip remains sharp for longer periods, making it ideal for drilling through tough materials such as concrete, brick, and stone.

• Brazing Material: Copper – Used to securely attach the carbide tip to the steel body, the copper brazing offers enhanced heat resistance and reduces the risk of tip loss or breakage during high-temperature operations.

Parts

• Steel Body: The core structure made from 40Cr heat-treated steel, providing durability and strength to withstand high-impact forces during drilling.

• Tungsten Carbide Tip: The YG8C tungsten carbide insert ensures sharpness and precision for drilling through tough materials.

• Brazing: Copper brazing securely attaches the carbide tip to the steel body, enhancing heat resistance and minimizing the risk of tip detachment.

• Spiral Flute (S4): The S4 spiral flute aids in rapid dust and debris removal, keeping the bit cool and ensuring efficient drilling.

• Shank (SDS-Plus): The SDS-Plus shank ensures a secure, slip-resistant connection with rotary hammer drills for better stability.

• Wear-Mark Indicator: A visual wear marker near the tip signals when it’s time to replace the bit, ensuring consistent performance.

• Sand-Blasted Finish: The sand-blasted surface reduces friction, resists corrosion, and facilitates easy extraction from the drilled material.

Applications of SDS-Plus Masonry Drill Bits

• Concrete & Masonry Work: Drill clean and precise holes in concrete slabs, walls, foundations, and cement blocks.

• Brick & Stone Projects: Effectively penetrates brick walls, stone veneers, and block paving.

• Construction & Remodeling: Essential for fastening systems, stud work, and utility installations.

• Repair & Retrofitting: Suitable for adding shelves, fixtures, and rails in hard substrates.

• Home Improvement/DIY: Ideal for garage walls, garden structures, tile installations, and general household masonry tasks.

• Industrial Tough Jobs: Works efficiently in materials like granite or marble when used with a hammer drill.
