Drill bit Art-Pol SDS+ 8 mm, model AR48358, for masonry and concrete

Art-Pol SDS+ 8 mm drill bit (model AR48358) is a masonry drill designed for use with SDS-plus rotary hammers to bore precise holes in concrete, brick and other masonry materials. The 8 mm diameter and SDS+ shank provide secure engagement with compatible hammer drills, enabling efficient percussion drilling and rapid removal of drilled material. The bit’s geometry supports reliable centering and consistent hole quality for anchor, dowel and fixture installation in building and renovation tasks.

Advantages

The SDS+ 8 mm drill bit offers consistent drilling performance in masonry thanks to its optimized tip geometry and shank design that reduces slippage in the chuck. Its 8 mm diameter is suitable for common fixings and anchors, while the robust construction ensures durability under repeated percussion use. Compatibility with SDS-plus rotary hammers simplifies bit changes and maintains a secure fit during heavy-duty drilling operations.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes for anchors and wall plugs in concrete and brick
• Installing fixtures, electrical boxes and conduit supports in masonry
• Renovation and construction work requiring repeated percussion drilling
• DIY projects where SDS+ hammer drill compatibility is available

Key specifications

• Diameter: 8 mm
• Shank type: SDS-plus
• Intended materials: concrete, brick and general masonry
• Tool compatibility: SDS+ rotary hammers and hammer drills

How to use

Install the drill bit into the SDS-plus chuck of a compatible rotary hammer until it locks securely. Select the hammer drilling mode and set an appropriate speed and impact rate according to the drill and material. Position the bit at the marked drilling point, apply steady axial pressure without excessive force, and allow the tool’s percussion action to advance the hole. Withdraw the bit periodically to clear debris from the hole when drilling deeper cavities, and finish by cleaning the hole before inserting anchors or fixings.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses, hearing protection and dust mask when drilling masonry. For best results, start with a pilot indentation or center punch on smooth surfaces, and match anchor size to the 8 mm hole. Replace the bit when wear reduces cutting efficiency or when the tip becomes noticeably rounded.
