FAQs
Can I use this bit for reinforced concrete?
This bit is designed for brick, masonry, and breeze blocks. It is not recommended for reinforced concrete containing steel rebar.
Does this bit require water for cooling?
No, this is a dry core drill bit and should be used without water.
Is the pilot drill replaceable?
Yes, the pilot drill can be removed and replaced if it becomes worn or damaged.
What drill mode should I use?
Use the rotary drilling function. Avoid heavy-impact settings to ensure the longevity of the bit.
Is this compatible with a standard drill chuck?
No, it requires an SDS plus fitting. It will not fit in a standard three-jaw drill chuck.
Troubleshooting
Bit is binding or getting stuck in the wall
Stop drilling and remove the bit to clear out the accumulated dust and masonry debris from the hole.
Pilot drill is not biting into the surface
Ensure the drill is set to rotary mode and apply firm, even pressure to begin the pilot hole before engaging the full core.
Excessive heat build-up
Drill in short intervals and allow the bit to cool, ensuring you are not using high-impact settings which increase friction.
Pros and Cons
Pros

Cons
Limited to 50mm diameter drilling
Not intended for reinforced concrete with heavy rebar
Requires proper drilling technique to prevent overheating
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation: Insert the SDS shank into your SDS plus drill chuck until it clicks securely into place.
Compatibility: This bit is designed strictly for SDS plus hammer drills. It is not compatible with standard three-jaw chuck drills unless an adapter is used.
Operation: Always start the hole using the pilot drill, then proceed with the main core bit once the initial groove is formed.
Care: After use, remove dust with a soft brush and store in a dry environment to prevent corrosion. Periodically check the teeth for signs of dulling and avoid dropping the bit, as high-impact force on concrete surfaces can chip the hardened steel teeth.
