Drill Bit Art-Pol SDS+ 12 mm AR48162 for concrete

Art-Pol SDS+ 12 mm drill bit AR48162 is designed for drilling clean, precise holes in concrete and masonry. The bit features an SDS+ shank for secure retention in compatible rotary hammers and enables fast bit changes during continuous work. It is intended for creating holes for anchors, dowels and anchor bolts in construction, renovation and installation tasks where stable, repeatable performance is required.

Advantages

The SDS+ shank ensures reliable engagement with rotary hammer chucks and minimizes slippage under impact load. The 12 mm diameter provides a common size for anchor and dowel installation, balancing speed of drilling with hole accuracy. The bit geometry and hardened tip are optimised for drilling dense materials such as concrete and masonry, offering efficient material removal and extended service life under standard working conditions.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes in concrete for anchor bolts and dowels
• Creating fixing points in brick and block masonry
• Renovation and installation tasks requiring repeatable hole dimensions
• Use with SDS+ rotary hammers for medium-duty drilling

Key specifications

• Shank type: SDS+
• Cutting diameter: 12 mm
• Intended material: concrete and masonry
• Compatibility: rotary hammers with SDS+ chuck

How to use

Fit the drill bit into an SDS+ compatible rotary hammer, ensuring it locks securely in the chuck. Mark the drilling point and position the drill perpendicular to the work surface. Start drilling at low speed to create a guide groove, then apply steady pressure and use the hammer function for effective penetration through concrete or masonry. Withdraw the bit periodically to clear dust and debris and maintain drilling efficiency. When the required depth is reached, release the trigger before removing the bit from the hole.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses, hearing protection and dust mask when drilling concrete. Match the drill diameter to the anchoring system’s specifications and clean holes before inserting anchors or dowels for best fixation results.
