Drill bit AWTools AW43514 — metal/wood drilling accessory, standard shank

AWTools AW43514 is a versatile drill bit engineered for general-purpose drilling in a range of materials. Constructed from 40CR alloy steel with a YG8C carbide-tipped blade and a centering point with a 130° point angle, this bit is intended for use with standard chucks on hammer drills and rotary hammers. The double spiral flute design promotes efficient evacuation of material, helps prevent overheating and reduces vibration, while four cutting edges provide smooth hole finishes and lower the risk of jamming when encountering rebar. The grooved SDS+ shank secures the bit in the tool to prevent falling out during heavy-duty work.

Advantages

The combination of a 40CR alloy steel body and a YG8C carbide tip delivers durability and wear resistance for drilling in hard materials. The 130° centering point improves accuracy at the start of drilling and reduces walking. Double spiral flutes ensure reliable debris removal and cooler operation, which prolongs tool life. Four cutting edges create cleaner holes and reduce the likelihood of the bit becoming stuck when penetrating reinforced materials. The grooved SDS+ shank offers secure retention in compatible hammer drills and rotary hammers.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes in concrete and reinforced concrete
• Drilling through rebar and other embedded reinforcement
• Creating openings in brick and masonry
• Use with hammer drills and rotary hammers for construction and repair tasks

Key specifications

How to use

Install the AWTools AW43514 drill bit into an SDS+ compatible chuck and ensure it is seated firmly to prevent play. Select the appropriate drill mode on the hammer drill or rotary hammer for the target material. Begin drilling at low speed to allow the centering point to locate and stabilize, then increase speed and apply steady pressure without forcing the bit. Periodically withdraw the bit to clear accumulated debris and permit cooling, especially when drilling deep or through reinforced sections.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment, including eye protection, hearing protection and dust mask. For best results in reinforced concrete, operate the tool in hammer mode with intermittent pauses to avoid overheating. Replace the bit when the carbide tip shows signs of wear or when drilling performance declines.
