SDS-Plus drill bit DeWalt DT9568 14 x 260 mm, Extreme2

DeWalt SDS-Plus drill bit DT9568 14 x 260 mm from the Extreme2 line is engineered for rotary hammers with SDS-Plus chucks. It features a 14 mm diameter and overall length of 260 mm, with a carbide tip designed to improve wear resistance and maintain cutting performance when drilling in concrete, masonry and natural stone. The flute geometry promotes efficient dust removal to enable deeper, cleaner holes while reducing bit clogging during continuous use.

Advantages

The carbide tip provides enhanced durability and prolonged life compared to standard steel points, helping to preserve drilling accuracy over multiple holes. Optimised flute design increases debris extraction and cooling, which reduces friction and helps maintain drilling speed in dense materials. The SDS-Plus shank ensures secure, slip-free engagement with compatible rotary hammers and enables quick bit changes on site.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes in concrete for anchors and dowels
• Creating openings in masonry and brickwork
• Installing fixtures in stone or structural blockwork
• Renovation and construction tasks requiring medium-depth holes

Key specifications

• Shank type: SDS-Plus
• Diameter: 14 mm
• Overall length: 260 mm
• Tip material: carbide
• Intended materials: concrete, masonry, natural stone
• Flute design: spiral for improved dust extraction

How to use

Fit the SDS-Plus shank securely into a compatible rotary hammer chuck according to the tool manufacturer's instructions. Select appropriate hammer mode and speed for the material being drilled; start drilling at low pressure to establish the hole and then apply steady force, allowing the drill bit's carbide tip and flute action to remove debris. Periodically withdraw the bit to clear accumulated dust and check progress; use water cooling only if the tool and worksite allow it and if it does not compromise the rotary hammer.

Usage recommendations

Use personal protective equipment such as safety goggles, ear protection and dust mask when drilling. For reinforced concrete, use progressively larger pilot holes if necessary, and replace the bit when wear reduces drilling efficiency or bit geometry is visibly damaged.
