Drill bit AWTools AW42823 — metal/wood/drill use, standard length unspecified

AWTools AW42823 is a multi-purpose drill bit designed for routine drilling tasks in construction and workshops. Constructed from 40Cr alloy steel and featuring two cutting edges with a carbide tip, the bit combines base-metal strength with a hard-wearing cutting point. A double spiral flute supports efficient chip evacuation to reduce friction and overheating, while the grooved SDS+ shank provides a secure fit in compatible hammer drills and rotary hammers.

Advantages

The combination of 40Cr alloy steel body and carbide tip offers balance between toughness and cutting durability. Two cutting edges enable accurate entry and steady drilling performance, and the double spiral flute improves material removal for consistent hole quality. The grooved SDS+ shank ensures a stable, slip-resistant connection in hammer drill and rotary hammer chucks designed for SDS+. These features together make the bit suitable for repeated, standard drilling operations.

Suitable for

• Drilling in masonry, concrete and natural stone
• Working with brick and ceramic tiles
• Use with hammer drills and rotary hammers that accept SDS+ shanks
• Workshop supply and replacement of worn bits for general construction tasks

Key specifications

• Material: 40Cr alloy steel body with carbide tip
• Cutting geometry: two cutting edges
• Flute type: double spiral for chip evacuation
• Shank type: grooved SDS+
• Application groups: masonry, concrete, granite, natural stone, brick, ceramic tiles
• Compatibility: designed for use in hammer drills and rotary hammers

How to use

Select an appropriate drill size and ensure the hammer drill or rotary hammer is compatible with SDS+ shanks. Secure the AWTools AW42823 bit in the tool’s chuck following the drill manufacturer’s instructions. Start drilling at low speed to establish the hole and then increase speed or engage hammer action as required by the material. Use steady, moderate pressure and periodically withdraw the bit to clear chips if drilling deep holes. Allow the bit and tool to cool if excessive heat develops.

Usage recommendations

For best results when drilling masonry or ceramic tiles, use the hammer function for concrete and stone, and consider lower-impact rotary mode or a depth stop to avoid breaking tiles. Wear appropriate eye, ear and hand protection, and follow the safety guidelines of the drill manufacturer.
