Drill bit AWTools AW42806 — metal/wood drilling accessory, MPN AW42806

AWTools AW42806 drill bit is a durable replacement accessory designed for use with compatible handheld drills, hammer drills and rotary hammers. Constructed from 40CR alloy steel and featuring a carbide tip with two cutting edges, this drill bit provides reliable penetration in a range of common construction materials. The double spiral flute design promotes efficient removal of swarf and dust, helping to reduce heat buildup during continuous drilling.

Advantages

The carbide-tipped, two-edge geometry delivers consistent cutting performance and extended tip life compared with standard high-speed steel bits. The double spiral flute design improves chip evacuation and cooling, reducing the risk of clogging and overheating. An SDS+ grooved shank secures the bit in compatible chucks to prevent accidental release during hammering or rotary operation. The combination of alloy steel body and carbide tip balances toughness and wear resistance for general-purpose work in tougher substrates.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes in masonry, concrete and brick
• Working with natural stone and granite
• Installing anchors, fixing fixtures and through-holes in ceramic tiles
• General repair, construction and DIY tasks requiring hammer action

Key specifications

• Material: 40CR alloy steel body with carbide tip
• Tip geometry: two cutting edges
• Flute type: double spiral for efficient chip evacuation
• Shank type: grooved SDS+ shank for secure retention
• Compatible tools: handheld drills, hammer drills and rotary hammers
• Intended materials: masonry, concrete, granite, natural stone, brick, ceramic tiles

How to use

Fit the AWTools AW42806 drill bit into the compatible SDS+ chuck of a hammer drill or rotary hammer, ensuring it locks securely in place. For masonry and concrete, use the hammer function and apply steady pressure without forcing the bit; allow the tool's impact action to do the work. For tile work, use reduced speed and careful positioning to avoid chipping the surface. Withdraw the bit periodically to clear debris and prevent overheating; for deep holes, pull the bit out frequently to expel dust. After use, clean the bit and store it in a dry place to protect the carbide tip and shank.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses, hearing protection and dust mask when drilling. Match drilling speed, pressure and hammer settings to the material being worked; avoid excessive side load to prevent tip damage. Replace the bit when the cutting performance noticeably degrades or the carbide tip becomes chipped.
