Drill bit AWTools AW42784 — carbide-tipped, round shank, for metal and wood

Made of alloy steel with a carbide tip and two cutting edges, this masonry drill bit is designed for drilling in masonry, concrete, granite, natural stone, brick and ceramic tiles. The double spiral flute promotes efficient removal of drilled material and helps protect the bit from overheating. The 130° point angle improves centring and penetration. Compatible with hammer drills and rotary hammers.

Advantages

The carbide tip and two-cutting-edge design deliver durable cutting performance and longer life when working with hard materials. The double spiral flute ensures consistent debris evacuation, reducing friction and heat buildup. A 130° point angle provides reliable centring and stable drilling in brittle and dense substrates. Suitable for use in both hammer drilling and rotary hammer applications, offering versatility across common masonry tasks.

Key specifications

• Material: alloy steel body with carbide tip
• Cutting edges: two-cutting-edge design
• Flute: double spiral flute
• Point angle: 130°
• Applications: masonry, concrete, granite, natural stone, brick, ceramic tiles
• Tool compatibility: hammer drills and rotary hammers

How to use

Mark the drilling position and secure the workpiece if necessary. Select a drill speed and mode suitable for masonry work; for hammer drills choose the hammer function. Start drilling with light pressure to establish the hole and then apply steady, even pressure. Periodically withdraw the bit to clear accumulated debris and allow cooling. For deeper holes, pause to prevent overheating. Use appropriate safety equipment, such as eye protection and gloves.

Recommendations

Use the drill bit with an appropriate chuck or SDS adapter provided by the power tool manufacturer, match drill diameter to the anchor or fixture, and avoid excessive lateral force. For prolonged tool life, maintain moderate drilling speed, allow frequent clearing of chips, and replace the bit when wear degrades cutting performance.
