Masonry drill bit DeWalt DT6695-XJ — 1 pc, right-hand rotation, for drill and rotary hammer

DeWalt DT6695-XJ masonry drill bit is designed for drilling into brick, light concrete, masonry and other similar materials using drills and rotary hammers. Supplied as a single-piece bit with right-hand rotation, it combines a hardened steel body, a machined spiral for efficient dust removal and a specially soldered hard-metal tip to offer durability and reliable drilling performance for standard and hammer-drilling tasks.

Advantages

The bit features an anti-slip shank with three milled clamping surfaces to reduce slippage in the chuck. Its hardened steel body incorporates core reinforcement and a large-volume machined spiral to increase tensile strength and maintain high drilling progress. A unique hard-metal tip is soldered with a low-stress high-temperature copper process, optimised for long life and reduced risk of break-out.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes in brick and masonry for anchors and fixings
• Creating passage holes in light concrete and aerated blocks
• Drilling into stone and tile for installation work (with appropriate care)
• General-purpose hammer-drilling where a masonry bit is required

How to use

Select a drill or rotary hammer compatible with a 3 mm masonry bit and secure the DeWalt DT6695-XJ in the chuck, ensuring the three milled surfaces align for a firm grip. For hammer-drilling applications, set the tool to the hammer function if available. Begin drilling at low speed to create a guide, then increase speed and apply steady, moderate pressure; allow the bit to do the work rather than forcing it. Withdraw the bit periodically to clear dust and prevent overheating.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment including safety glasses, dust mask and hearing protection. For tile or thin stone, consider using lower speed and stabilising guides to avoid chipping. Avoid excessive side load and over-torquing to extend bit life; replace the bit if the tip becomes worn or damaged. Store the bit dry and protected to prevent corrosion.
