Masonry drill bit DeWalt DT6693 for drill and rotary hammer, right-hand rotation, 1 pc

DeWalt DT6693 masonry drill bit for drill and rotary hammer is designed for right-hand rotation and supplied as a single unit. The bit features an anti-slip shank with three milled clamping surfaces to prevent rotation in the chuck, a hardened steel body with core reinforcement and a large-volume machined spiral for high tensile strength and fast drilling progress, and a unique hard-metal tip joined with low-stress high-temperature copper soldering for improved durability and break-out safety. The bit is suitable for standard rotary drilling and light hammering into masonry materials where a masonry-specific cutting tip is required.

Advantages

The anti-slip shank reduces slippage in the chuck and improves concentricity during drilling. Hardened steel construction with core reinforcement and an engineered spiral ensures high tensile strength and efficient removal of drilling debris, which supports faster penetration. The hard-metal tip, copper-soldered under controlled conditions, provides enhanced wear resistance and reduces the risk of tip break-out under normal use. Overall, the design balances durability, drilling progress and reliable performance in masonry applications.

Suitable for

• Drilling into brick and blockwork
• Piercing light concrete and similar masonry
• Creating holes in stone and ceramic tile (with appropriate drilling technique)
• General masonry fixing and anchor preparation

How to use

Install the bit securely into the drill or rotary hammer chuck, ensuring the three milled surfaces engage to prevent slippage. Select the appropriate drilling mode (rotary or light hammering) depending on material and tool capabilities. Begin drilling at low speed to establish a guide point, then increase speed and apply steady, even pressure. Withdraw the bit periodically to clear debris and avoid overheating. For tile or delicate stone, use reduced speed and minimal hammer action to prevent cracking.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment including eye protection and dust mask when drilling masonry. Match drill mode and speed to the material: use rotary-only for tile and light hammering for concrete and brick. Avoid excessive lateral force on the bit and allow the tool to do the work to extend tip life.
