Drill bit Art-Pol AR48012 SDS+ 12 mm for concrete

The Art-Pol AR48012 SDS+ 12 mm concrete drill bit is designed for rotary and rotary‑hammer drilling in concrete and masonry. With an SDS+ shank for fast, secure mounting and effective impact transfer, this 12 mm drill bit is intended for creating anchor holes, installing fixings and performing general masonry drilling tasks. The bit geometry and carbide tip are optimized for penetration and chip removal when used in compatible SDS+ drill/hammer tools.

Advantages

The SDS+ shank provides quick, tool-free insertion and reliable coupling in SDS+ chucks, ensuring stable rotation and efficient impact delivery. A carbide-tipped cutting head extends service life and maintains drilling performance in abrasive concrete and masonry. The 12 mm diameter balances hole size for common anchors and fixings while allowing sufficient drill speed and control for both professional and DIY applications.

Suitable for

• Drilling anchor and fixing holes in concrete and hollow/block masonry
• Installing chemical or mechanical anchors and bolts
• General masonry drilling tasks with SDS+ rotary hammers

Key specifications

• Diameter: 12 mm
• Shank type: SDS+ compatible
• Intended materials: concrete, masonry
• Drilling mode: rotary and rotary‑hammer
• Tip: carbide cutting tip for improved wear resistance

How to use

Select an SDS+ rotary hammer or drill compatible with SDS+ bits, insert the bit into the chuck until it locks, and set the tool to the appropriate drilling mode (rotary‑hammer for concrete). Mark and center the drilling point, start drilling at low speed to establish the hole, then apply steady pressure and maintain tool alignment. Periodically withdraw the bit to clear dust and chips for efficient drilling and reduced bit wear. For deeper holes use a suitable depth stop or marker.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment including eye protection, hearing protection and a dust mask. Match drill diameter to anchor or fixing specifications and use recommended drill speeds and hammer settings from the tool manufacturer. For reinforced concrete, check for rebar before drilling and adjust technique or choose a dedicated rebar‑capable bit if needed.
