Concrete drill bit Art-Pol SDS+ 8 mm AR48208

Art-Pol SDS+ 8 mm concrete drill bit AR48208 is a carbide-tipped masonry bit designed for use with hammer drills that accept an SDS+ shank. With an 8 mm cutting diameter and a geometry optimised for percussion drilling, this bit is intended for creating holes in concrete, brick, block and natural stone for anchors, dowels and through-fixings. The SDS+ shank ensures secure engagement in compatible rotary hammers and facilitates fast bit changes during repetitive drilling tasks.

Advantages

The carbide tip provides wear resistance and sustained cutting performance when drilling abrasive materials such as concrete and masonry. The SDS+ shank design delivers reliable locking in hammer drills and efficient transmission of percussive energy to the cutting head. The bit's flute profile assists in fast evacuation of dust and debris, helping maintain drilling speed and reduce friction.

Suitable for

• Drilling anchor and dowel holes in concrete and masonry
• Preparing holes for electrical boxes and plumbing penetrations
• Installing fixtures, rails and brackets into stone or brick
• General demolition and renovation drilling with rotary hammers

Key specifications

• Type: SDS+ percussion masonry drill bit
• Cutting diameter: 8 mm
• Tip material: carbide
• Shank type: SDS+ (for compatible rotary hammers)
• Suitable materials: concrete, brick, block, natural stone

How to use

Fit the Art-Pol SDS+ bit into the SDS+ chuck of a compatible rotary hammer until it locks. Set the tool to the hammer drilling mode and position the tip at the intended drilling point. Apply steady axial pressure while allowing the tool's percussion action to perform cutting; avoid excessive sideways force. Withdraw the bit periodically to clear dust and prevent clogging for deeper holes. For through-holes, drill from both sides when possible to reduce chipping at the exit.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment: safety glasses, hearing protection and a dust mask or extraction when drilling. Select drill speed and percussion settings according to the rotary hammer manufacturer's guidance and the hardness of the material. Replace the bit when wear or chipping of the carbide tip is visible to maintain drilling efficiency and hole accuracy.
