Drill bit Art-Pol SDS+ 12 mm AR48462 for concrete

Art-Pol SDS+ 12 mm AR48462 drill bit is designed for drilling into concrete, masonry and other mineral materials. The 12 mm diameter is suitable for creating holes for anchors, dowels and through-holes in construction and renovation projects. The SDS+ shank provides secure engagement with compatible rotary hammers and allows fast bit changes. The tip geometry is optimised for efficient material removal and extended service life under typical jobsite conditions.

Advantages

The SDS+ connection ensures stable seating in hammer drills and reduces play during drilling. A durable carbide tip and reinforced flute design improve wear resistance and drilling speed in concrete and masonry. The 12 mm diameter offers a balance between hole size and drilling effort, making the bit versatile for common fastening and installation tasks. The bit is compatible with standard SDS+ rotary hammers for quick replacement and reliable performance.

Suitable for

• Drilling anchor and dowel holes in concrete and brick
• Preparing through-holes for plumbing and electrical conduits in masonry
• General construction and renovation drilling tasks
• Fastening fixtures and mounting brackets to solid substrates

Key specifications

• Shank type: SDS+ compatible
• Diameter: 12 mm
• Primary application: concrete and masonry
• Tip material: carbide tip for improved wear resistance
• Flute design: spiral flute for efficient dust removal
• Length: suitable for common anchor and through-hole depths (check tool compatibility)

How to use

Secure the drill bit into an SDS+ rotary hammer according to the tool manufacturer’s instructions until it locks in place. Mark the drilling position on the substrate, start drilling at low speed to create a guide recess, then apply full hammer function and steady pressure for effective penetration of concrete or masonry. Periodically withdraw the bit to clear dust from the hole and allow cooling. Replace the bit when cutting performance decreases or when tip wear is evident.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment (safety goggles, dust mask, hearing protection and gloves). Select a rotary hammer with the recommended power and SDS+ chuck for consistent results. For reinforced concrete, use controlled pressure and short drilling intervals to avoid overheating; for deeper holes, withdraw the bit regularly to clear debris. Store the bit in a dry place to prevent corrosion of the shank.
