Drill Bit Art-Pol SDS+ 10 mm AR48160 for concrete

The Art-Pol SDS+ 10 mm AR48160 drill bit is designed for drilling clean, precise holes in concrete and masonry. Compatible with SDS+ rotary hammer systems, this 10 mm diameter bit provides stable percussion drilling for creating holes for anchors, dowels and through-fastenings in reinforced concrete and aggregate materials. The bit’s design focuses on reliable bit retention and consistent chip removal to maintain drilling efficiency during repeated use in both professional and DIY applications.

Advantages

This drill bit offers a hardened tip and flute geometry optimised for concrete to improve penetration and reduce jamming. Its SDS+ shank ensures secure fitment in compatible hammer drills, minimising wobble and improving energy transfer from tool to bit. The 10 mm diameter provides a balance between hole size and drillability, making it suitable for common anchor and fastening sizes while being easy to control during drilling.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes for expansion anchors and plastic dowels in concrete and masonry
• Through-drilling for bolts and through-fastenings in reinforced concrete
• General-purpose percussion drilling tasks on construction sites and renovation projects
• DIY home improvement tasks requiring reliable concrete drilling with an SDS+ rotary hammer

Key specifications

• Tip diameter: 10 mm
• Shank type: SDS+ compatible
• Intended material: concrete, masonry and reinforced concrete
• Application: percussion drilling with rotary hammer

How to use

Select an SDS+ rotary hammer with appropriate power and set it to the percussion drilling mode. Fit the Art-Pol SDS+ 10 mm drill bit into the chuck until it locks. Mark the drilling point and start at low speed to establish a guide hole, then increase to normal drilling speed and apply steady forward pressure without forcing the bit. Periodically withdraw the bit to clear dust and chips and to prevent overheating. For deeper holes, drill in stages and check alignment regularly.

Usage recommendations

Use eye and hearing protection when operating the rotary hammer. For reinforced concrete, consider short pecking motions and regular withdrawal to clear debris. Match the hole diameter to the anchor or dowel specifications and use a vacuum or brush to remove dust before inserting fixings for optimal holding strength.
