Drill bit DeWalt DT60828-QZ, length 540 mm, single piece

DeWalt DT60828-QZ drill bit, 540 mm length, single piece — a long-reach masonry drill bit designed for drilling reinforced concrete, masonry, natural and artificial stone. The solid carbide tip with four cutting faces reduces jamming in rebar, maintains concentric holes and supports consistently high drilling speed. The extended helix and optimized free space enable faster debris removal, while the optimized heat treatment increases overall strength for demanding drilling tasks.

Advantages

The drill bit features a solid carbide tip with four cutting faces that minimize binding when encountering rebar and produce cleaner, more concentric holes. Its long helix profile and optimized free space improve chip evacuation, reducing clogging and maintaining drilling efficiency. Optimized heat treatment enhances tip and shaft durability, making the bit suitable for repeated use in hard materials. Sold as a single piece, it provides a cost-effective option when a single long bit is required for deeper holes or limited-access work.

Suitable for

• Drilling reinforced concrete and encountering rebar
• Masonry work such as brick, block and mortar drilling
• Hole making in natural and artificial stone
• Applications requiring extended reach or access in confined spaces

Key specifications

• Length: 540 mm overall length for extended reach
• Tip: Solid carbide tip with four cutting faces for reduced jamming and cleaner holes
• Design: Long helix length with optimized free space for faster debris removal
• Material treatment: Optimized heat treatment for improved strength and durability
• Packaging: Single piece
• Compatibility: For use with compatible rotary or percussion drills

How to use

Mount the drill bit securely in a compatible rotary or percussion drill according to the drill manufacturer's instructions. Start drilling at low speed to establish the hole, then increase to the recommended speed for the material being drilled. Apply steady, even pressure; avoid excessive side loads. Use the drill's percussion function when working in concrete or masonry. Periodically withdraw the bit to clear debris and allow cooling, especially during deep or prolonged drilling operations.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment (safety glasses, hearing protection, gloves) and select drill speeds and percussion settings suitable for masonry and concrete. For extended deep holes, remove debris frequently to prevent overheating and wear. Inspect the carbide tip regularly and replace the bit when cutting performance decreases or the tip is damaged.
