Hammer drill bit Bosch SDS Plus-5

The Bosch SDS Plus-5 hammer drill bit is designed for use with rotary hammers that accept SDS-plus shanks. With a diameter of 1.4 cm and sold as a single piece, this masonry drill bit is intended for drilling accurate holes in concrete and other masonry materials. The bit incorporates Bosch manufacturing quality and is made in Germany, providing consistent length and cutting geometry for demanding drilling tasks.

Advantages

The SDS Plus-5 uses an Activeteq centring tip that guides the drill for controlled starts and reduces wandering at the start of the hole. AWB brazing and hardening technology improves the bond and hardness of the tip, which reduces vibration and user strain while maintaining cutting performance. A visible wear mark enables quick checks to confirm the hole diameter remains within tolerance for metal anchor setting. The product meets the PGM masonry drill bit association test mark standards for dimensional accuracy and reliable fixing performance.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes in concrete
• Creating anchor holes in masonry
• Rotary hammer work requiring SDS-plus bits
• Repair and construction tasks that need precise hole diameter

How to use

Insert the Bosch SDS Plus-5 bit into a rotary hammer with an SDS-plus holder until it locks. Position the centring tip on the marked drilling point and start drilling at low speed to establish the guide, then increase power as required for the material. Apply steady axial pressure while letting the tool do the work; avoid excessive side load. Periodically withdraw the bit to clear debris and check the progress. Use appropriate drilling mode settings on the rotary hammer for concrete or masonry.

Usage recommendations

Check the wear mark regularly to confirm the hole diameter remains within tolerance for metal anchor installation. Use personal protective equipment (safety glasses, hearing protection, dust mask) and follow the rotary hammer manufacturer’s safety instructions. For best results, match bit diameter and length to the anchor or fixing being used and use correct drilling speed and hammer setting for masonry.
