Masonry drill bit DeWalt DT8918 — 6.5 mm, for rotary hammer, 1 pc

DeWalt DT8918 masonry drill bit 6.5 mm is a single-piece drill designed for percussion drilling into brick, concrete and other masonry materials with a rotary hammer. The bit’s diameter of 6.5 mm is suitable for common fixing and anchoring tasks; it is produced to work with rotary hammer systems and can be used with compatible chucks, including SDS-plus where applicable. The geometry and carbide tip are intended to deliver controlled drilling performance in masonry substrates.

Advantages

This masonry drill bit offers a consistent 6.5 mm hole size for repeatable anchoring and fixture installation. The carbide cutting tip provides wear resistance and improved life when used for percussion drilling in masonry. The single-piece design reduces the risk of breakage at joints and allows stable drilling alignment in brick and concrete. The bit is compact and ready for immediate use as one piece, simplifying selection for standard masonry tasks.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes for wall anchors and plugs in brick and concrete
• Fixing conduit and cable clips to masonry surfaces
• Installing light to medium load fixtures requiring 6.5 mm holes
• Percussion drilling with rotary hammers and compatible chucks

Key specifications

• Diameter: 6.5 mm
• Intended material: brick, concrete and general masonry
• Design: single-piece masonry drill bit with carbide tip
• Application type: percussion (rotary hammer) drilling
• Quantity: 1 piece

How to use

Fit the drill bit into a compatible rotary hammer chuck according to the tool manufacturer’s instructions. Select percussion drilling mode and set an appropriate rotation speed for masonry. Position the bit perpendicular to the surface and apply steady, moderate pressure; allow the tool to progress the hole rather than forcing the bit. Withdraw the bit occasionally to clear dust and reduce heat buildup. Use appropriate personal protective equipment, such as eye protection, hearing protection and a dust mask, while drilling.

Usage recommendations

Use the 6.5 mm bit for anchor and plug sizes that specify this diameter, and verify compatibility with your rotary hammer chuck type before use. For prolonged drilling sessions, periodically clear debris from the hole and inspect the carbide tip for wear to maintain drilling performance.
