Masonry drill bit Bosch SDS-plus-5 18 mm, 1 pc, SDS-plus shank

The Bosch SDS-plus-5 masonry drill bit with 18 mm diameter is a single-piece drill designed for use with rotary hammers that accept SDS-plus shanks. It is engineered for drilling into concrete, masonry and stone, providing consistent drilling performance for construction and renovation tasks that require reliable penetration and accurate hole formation.

Advantages

This SDS-plus masonry bit features a robust carbide tip and a flute geometry optimized to remove debris efficiently while maintaining drilling speed. The SDS-plus shank ensures secure retention in compatible rotary hammers and rapid bit changes. The 18 mm diameter offers a balance between hole size and material removal rate for typical fastening and anchoring applications in concrete and masonry.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes for anchors and dowels in concrete and masonry
• Creating through-holes and fixing points in stone and brick
• Trade and renovation work with SDS-plus rotary hammer tools

Key specifications

How to use

Install the bit into a rotary hammer with an SDS-plus holder until it locks in place, then select the rotary or hammer-drill mode according to the tool's settings and the material. Start drilling at low speed to establish the bore, then apply steady pressure and maintain the tool perpendicular to the surface. Periodically withdraw the bit to clear dust from the hole and allow cooling if drilling for extended periods.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses, hearing protection and gloves. For reinforced concrete, use controlled drilling pressure and avoid excessive side load to extend bit life. Match drill diameter to anchor or fastener specifications and ensure the rotary hammer is set to the correct mode for percussion drilling in masonry.
