Drill Bit Art-Pol SDS+ 8 mm AR48458 for Concrete

The Art-Pol SDS+ 8 mm drill bit AR48458 is a masonry drill designed for drilling holes in concrete, brick and similar mineral substrates. The bit is made for use with SDS+ rotary hammers and features a slotted SDS+ shank for fast and secure insertion and removal. With an 8 mm diameter it is suitable for creating holes for anchors, dowels and fasteners in light to medium duty concrete applications for both professional and DIY users.

Advantages

The SDS+ shank provides quick bit changes and positive locking in compatible rotary hammers, reducing downtime on the job. The drill geometry and carbide tip are optimised for efficient percussion drilling into concrete and masonry, improving drilling speed and hole quality. The bit’s construction is intended to withstand the impacts and torsion typical of hammer drilling while maintaining concentricity for accurate hole placement.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Drilling holes for anchor bolts and dowels in concrete and cement-based substrates
• Preparing mounting points for fixtures and fasteners in brick and block walls
• Creating holes for electrical conduit and pipe penetrations in masonry
• General light-to-medium masonry work with SDS+ rotary hammers

Key specifications

• Diameter: 8 mm
• Shank type: SDS+
• Intended materials: concrete, brick, masonry
• Tool compatibility: SDS+ rotary hammers

How to use

Select an SDS+ rotary hammer with appropriate power for the substrate and secure the drill bit in the chuck until it locks. Mark the drilling point, start at low speed to position the bit, then apply steady pressure and engage the hammer function for percussion drilling in concrete or masonry. Periodically withdraw the bit to clear dust and chips and avoid overheating. After drilling, remove the bit by releasing the SDS+ lock and inspect the hole before installing anchors or fasteners.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment including eye protection, hearing protection and dust mask when drilling into concrete. For larger diameters or deep holes, consider step drilling or clearing debris more frequently to maintain efficient drilling and reduce wear on the bit.
