ALPEN Force X SDS-Plus Hammer Drill Bit 6 mm x 160 mm

The ALPEN Force X SDS-Plus hammer drill bit, measuring 6 mm in diameter and 160 mm in total length, is a professional-grade tool engineered for high-performance drilling in concrete, masonry, and stone. Featuring a robust 4-cutter carbide tip, this drill bit is designed to maintain precise hole geometry while offering exceptional durability under demanding conditions. The advanced flute design facilitates rapid dust removal, significantly increasing drilling speed and reducing heat buildup during operation.

Advantages

The primary advantage of the ALPEN Force X is its specialized 4-cutter head, which ensures smooth, circular holes and prevents the bit from snagging on reinforcement bars within concrete. This design provides superior impact resistance, allowing for consistent performance even when encountering hard aggregates. The high-quality steel construction combined with the precision-ground carbide tip ensures a long service life, making it a reliable choice for professionals who require efficiency and accuracy in their daily construction or renovation projects.

Suitable for

• Drilling into reinforced and non-reinforced concrete
• Working with natural stone and masonry
• Heavy-duty construction and renovation tasks
• Creating precise anchor holes

When it may not be suitable

This drill bit is specifically optimized for rotary hammer drills with an SDS-Plus chuck system and is not compatible with standard three-jaw drill chucks. It is not intended for drilling in metal, wood, or ceramic tiles, as the percussion action and carbide geometry are not suited for these materials.

Key specifications

• Diameter: 6 mm
• Total length: 160 mm
• Shank type: SDS-Plus
• Head design: 4-cutter carbide tip
• Material compatibility: Concrete, masonry, stone

How to use

Insert the drill bit into the SDS-Plus chuck of your rotary hammer until it locks securely into place. Ensure the tool is set to hammer-drill mode before starting. Position the tip of the bit against the surface and apply steady, moderate pressure. Allow the tool to perform the work without forcing it, as this helps maintain the integrity of the carbide tip and ensures efficient dust extraction through the flutes.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your power tool is equipped with an SDS-Plus chuck system.
• Ensure the 6 mm diameter meets the requirements of your specific anchors or fasteners.
• Check that the 160 mm length is sufficient for the depth of the holes you intend to drill.

Usage recommendations

Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including safety glasses and hearing protection, when operating a rotary hammer. Periodically inspect the carbide tip for signs of excessive wear to ensure continued drilling precision.
