How to choose

The first question is which fitting your machine has: a hammer drill with a straight-shank chuck, an SDS Plus hammer or an SDS Max. Then consider the diameter and working length, according to the hole to be made. The material, in particular the presence of reinforcing bars, points towards sturdier bits.

Supply is by quotation: write to or call us stating the intended use, quantities and sizes, and we will reply with availability and terms.

Frequently asked questions: Drill Bits for Granite, Masonry and Concrete
Which bit should be used for drilling concrete?

For concrete, use bits with an SDS Plus shank, fitted to a rotary hammer or a hammer drill, which combine rotation and percussion. For large, deep holes, use SDS Max bits. The collection includes Milwaukee concrete bits, including the premium range, to be chosen according to the hole diameter.

SDS Plus or SDS Max: which shank to choose?

SDS Plus is the shank for light rotary hammers, used for small and medium holes in masonry and concrete. SDS Max is for more powerful machines and for large-diameter, deep holes. The shank type must match that of your hammer, otherwise the bit will not fit properly. Check the marking on the shank before buying.

Which bit for granite and marble?

Granite and marble are hard, glossy materials that are damaged by ordinary masonry bits. The collection includes bits specific to marble and granite, such as the Fervi marble and granite bit, and bits labelled granit. Use low speed, water for cooling and light pressure, without forcing the bit, to avoid chipping the workpiece.

Extended masonry bits: when are they needed?

Extended masonry bits are longer than standard and are used for deep holes, such as those for long wall plugs or for going through thick walls. The collection includes extended and super-extended masonry bits. For such deep holes, clear the hole with air or a brush, and check that the bit does not overheat.

How do you choose the bit for the plug or anchor?

The bit diameter must match the diameter specified by the plug or anchor manufacturer. The collection includes, for example, the FZUB undercut bit for Fischer Zykon FZA anchors, which creates the seat needed for fixing. Before drilling, read the plug data sheet and use the bit of the diameter indicated.

Which bit for aerated concrete?

Aerated concrete is a porous, soft material that is drilled with specific bits to prevent it crumbling. The collection includes the zinc-plated bit for drilling aerated concrete, 3704 Pavan. Use low speed, without percussion if the machine allows it, and clear the hole often.

How do you drill masonry without breathing in the dust?

Drilling masonry and concrete releases silica dust, which is harmful to the respiratory system. The Milwaukee SDS Plus bits with dust extraction, including the four-cutter version, channel the dust towards an extractor. Otherwise, wear a suitable mask and wet the area where possible, as required by Italian Legislative Decree 81/2008 on workplace safety (D.Lgs. 81/2008).
