Drill Bit Art-Pol SDS+ 12 mm AR48212 for Concrete

The Art-Pol SDS+ 12 mm AR48212 drill bit is engineered for drilling clean, consistent holes in concrete, masonry and reinforced concrete. Designed for use with SDS+ rotary hammer drills, this 12 mm diameter bit enables through-holes and anchor points for mechanical fixings, rebar spacing and installation of anchors. The geometry and tip design focus on efficient material removal and stable positioning during drilling, supporting both professional and DIY applications where reliable concrete drilling and extended tool life are required.

Advantages

This drill bit offers a hardened carbide tip and optimized flute geometry to improve cutting performance and reduce clogging. The SDS+ shank ensures secure fitting and quick bit changes in compatible rotary hammers. Durable construction minimizes wear when used for repetitive drilling in masonry and concrete, while the 12 mm diameter provides a common size for anchor bolts and through-fixing tasks.

Suitable for

• Drilling through concrete and reinforced concrete
• Creating anchor and fixing holes for bolts and plugs
• Masonry drilling for installation of fixtures and support brackets
• Professional construction and renovation tasks
• DIY home projects requiring secure mechanical fixings

Key specifications

• Compatibility: SDS+ rotary hammer drills
• Diameter: 12 mm
• Intended material: concrete, reinforced concrete, masonry
• Tip material: carbide-tipped cutting head
• Shank type: quick-fit SDS+ shank
• Typical applications: through-holes and anchor point drilling

How to use

Fit the SDS+ shank securely into the rotary hammer chuck until it locks. Select the hammer-drill mode appropriate for concrete and set speed and impact settings according to the drill manufacturer’s guidance for a 12 mm bit. Start drilling at low speed to establish the location, then apply steady pressure while maintaining the drill angle perpendicular to the surface. Periodically withdraw the bit to clear dust from the hole and avoid overheating. For deeper holes, drill in stages, clearing debris between passes.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment including safety glasses, ear protection and dust mask. For reinforced concrete, monitor bit wear and replace the bit when cutting performance declines. When installing anchors, clean holes of dust and follow anchor manufacturer instructions for drill depth and hole preparation to ensure secure fixings.
