Drill bit Art-Pol SDS+ 8 mm — masonry/concrete drill bit, model 48408

The Art-Pol SDS+ 8 mm drill bit (model 48408) is a rotary hammer accessory engineered for drilling small-diameter holes in concrete, masonry and natural stone. Its 8 mm cutting diameter and SDS+ shank provide secure tool retention and efficient transfer of percussive energy for fast, controlled drilling. This drill bit is intended for tasks that require precise holes for anchors, dowels or conduit entries during installation, renovation and light construction work.

Advantages

The SDS+ shank ensures reliable engagement with compatible rotary hammers and fast bit changes without additional tools. The 8 mm diameter offers a balance between hole precision and drilling speed for small anchoring and fixing tasks. The tip geometry and flute design are optimized to evacuate dust and reduce binding, improving drilling efficiency in dense materials. Manufactured to meet practical workshop and on-site requirements, the bit is suitable for repeated percussive use in masonry environments.

Suitable for

• Drilling anchor and plug holes in concrete and brick
• Creating small-diameter passages for cables and conduits
• Installation of fixtures and fittings requiring 8 mm holes
• Light renovation and repair work on masonry surfaces

Key specifications

• Cutting diameter: 8 mm
• Shank type: SDS+
• Intended materials: concrete, masonry, natural stone
• Tool type compatibility: rotary hammers with SDS+ chuck
• Primary use: percussive drilling (hammer drilling)

How to use

Select a compatible rotary hammer with an SDS+ chuck and set the tool to the percussive drilling mode. Insert the Art-Pol SDS+ 8 mm drill bit into the chuck until it locks. Mark the drilling point, start the drill at low speed to position the bit, then increase speed and apply steady axial pressure while allowing the hammer action to perform cutting. Periodically withdraw the bit to clear dust from the hole and inspect the bit tip. For deeper holes, break drilling into intervals to prevent overheating and to maintain dust clearance.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment including safety glasses, hearing protection and dust mask. For reinforced concrete, use a carbide-tipped bit designed for rebar contact or avoid rebar when possible. Store the drill bit in a dry place and inspect the cutting edges before use; replace the bit when wear or damage reduces drilling performance.
