What materials can this drill bit be used on?

What is the advantage of a fully hardened and ground bit?

It provides superior durability, maintains sharpness longer, and ensures smoother, more efficient drilling performance.

It refers to the diameter of the drill bit (8mm) and its total length (450mm).

Troubleshooting

Drill bit not locking into chuck

Ensure the SDS Plus chuck is clean and free of debris. Verify you are using an SDS Plus compatible drill and chuck.

Slow drilling or overheating

Check if the material being drilled is compatible. Ensure the drill is in hammer mode and that the bit flutes are clear of dust buildup. Allow the bit to cool if overheated.

Avoid excessive side pressure or twisting. Ensure the drill bit is straight and not bent. Use appropriate speed and pressure for the material.
