Masonry Drill Bit DeWalt DT6672-XJ 5 mm, single piece

DeWalt DT6672-XJ 5 mm masonry drill bit, supplied as a single piece, is designed for rotary and hammer drilling into masonry, brick, stone, tiles and light concrete. The 5 mm diameter is intended for common anchor and plastic plug installations, fixing holes and pipework clearance. The bit features an anti-slip shank for secure chucks and a carbide tip brazed with a copper solder designed for low stress at high temperature, improving durability and break-out safety during repetitive drilling tasks.

Advantages

This masonry drill bit combines a hardened steel body with core reinforcement and a large-volume machined spiral to increase tensile strength and remove debris efficiently. The unique carbide tip and low-stress high-temperature copper solder increase tip life and resistance to premature breakage. The anti-slip shank ensures stable grip in standard chucks, reducing slippage and improving drilling accuracy in light to medium-duty applications.

Suitable for

• Installing anchors and plastic plugs
• Drilling fixing holes for fixtures and fittings
• Creating clearance holes for pipes and conduits
• Electrical and plumbing installation work
• General construction and repair tasks on masonry and light concrete

Key specifications

• Diameter: 5 mm
• Material tip: carbide with copper solder
• Shank type: anti-slip shank for secure chuck engagement
• Body: hardened steel with core reinforcement
• Flute: large-volume machined spiral for dust and debris evacuation
• Application: masonry, brick, stone, tiles, light concrete

How to use

Install the 5 mm masonry bit in a compatible drill and ensure the chuck is tightened securely on the anti-slip shank. Choose the appropriate drill setting for the material (rotary hammer or hammer drill for concrete and masonry). Start drilling at low speed to establish the position, then increase speed and apply steady pressure without forcing the bit. Periodically withdraw the bit to clear dust and debris from the hole and from the flute to maintain efficient cutting and to reduce heat buildup.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment including safety goggles and dust mask. For best results in reinforced concrete, use the hammer mode and select a correctly rated drill. Avoid excessive side pressure and ensure the bit is not overheated; allow intermittent cooling when performing multiple consecutive holes.
