SDS+ masonry drill bit Art-Pol AR48158 — 8 mm diameter for concrete and stone

SDS+ masonry drill bit Art-Pol AR48158 — 8 mm diameter for concrete and stone is a single-diameter percussion bit designed for efficient drilling in concrete, natural stone and masonry. Intended for use with SDS+ rotary hammers, this 8 mm drill bit creates precise holes for anchors, dowels and fasteners during construction, renovation and installation tasks. The straightforward geometry and hardened carbide tip support reliable performance when making small-diameter holes under impact drilling conditions.

Advantages

The SDS+ shank provides secure tool retention and rapid bit changes in compatible rotary hammers. A carbide-tipped head delivers wear resistance and longer service life compared with plain steel bits when used in abrasive masonry materials. The standardized 8 mm diameter gives predictable hole sizing for common fasteners and anchor systems, while the flute design evacuates dust and debris to help maintain drilling speed and reduce binding.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes for wall anchors and dowels in concrete and masonry
• Installing fixtures into natural stone and brick
• Light to medium demolition and renovation tasks requiring percussion drilling
• Professional and DIY fastening and installation work where an 8 mm hole is required

Key specifications

• Shank type: SDS+ compatible
• Diameter: 8 mm
• Intended materials: concrete, natural stone, masonry
• Tip material: carbide-tipped head for enhanced wear resistance
• Application: rotary hammer percussion drilling

How to use

Insert the SDS+ shank fully into the rotary hammer chuck until it locks, select the hammer drilling mode and set an appropriate drilling speed for an 8 mm masonry bit. Start drilling with light pressure to establish the hole, then apply steady force while allowing the tool's impact action to break the material. Periodically withdraw the bit to clear dust from the hole and prevent overheating. For deeper holes, retract more frequently to remove debris and check hole alignment.

Usage recommendations

Use personal protective equipment including safety glasses, hearing protection and a dust mask when drilling. Match drill speed and pressure to the substrate hardness and use water cooling only if recommended for the specific rotary hammer and bit combination. Replace the bit when cutting performance diminishes or the carbide tip becomes damaged to ensure consistent hole quality and safe operation.
