Drill bit DeWalt DT9580 SDS‑Plus 16 x 260/200 mm

DeWalt SDS‑Plus drill bit DT9580, 16 x 260/200 mm, is engineered for rotary hammers with an SDS‑Plus chuck to create accurate holes in concrete, masonry and natural stone. With a 16 mm diameter, 260 mm overall length and 200 mm working length, this drill bit is intended for installation of anchors, dowels and through‑holes in construction and renovation projects where reliable hole sizing and steady drilling performance are required.

Advantages

The drill bit features a precision‑ground carbide tip and a reinforced flute geometry that improve drilling speed and reduce bit wandering. Its SDS‑Plus shank ensures secure engagement with compatible rotary hammers and simplifies bit changes. The combination of a robust cutting head and a durable body provides consistent performance when drilling into hard substrates and helps extend service life under frequent use.

Suitable for

• Drilling anchor and dowel holes in concrete and masonry
• Making through‑holes for utilities and fixings in renovation work
• Installing threaded rods and chemical anchors
• Professional and DIY tasks that require 16 mm holes in stone or brick

Key specifications

• Compatibility: SDS‑Plus rotary hammers
• Diameter: 16 mm
• Overall length: 260 mm
• Working length (drilling depth): 200 mm
• Tip material: carbide cutting tip (precision ground)
• Flute design: reinforced for chip removal and stability

How to use

Fit the DeWalt SDS‑Plus drill bit into the rotary hammer's SDS‑Plus chuck until it locks. Select the hammer‑drill (rotary hammer) mode appropriate for concrete and masonry. Start drilling at low speed to establish the hole, then apply steady pressure while allowing the tool to work at its designed impact rate; avoid excessive side force. Withdraw the bit periodically to clear dust and debris from the hole for efficient cutting and cooling. For through‑holes, mark the required depth and confirm clearances before drilling.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment including safety glasses, hearing protection and dust mask when drilling. Match the drill bit diameter to the anchor or dowel specification and avoid using the bit in hammerless drills or incompatible chucks. For optimum life, use the bit at recommended impact settings and replace it if the cutting tip becomes worn or damaged.
