Drill Bit EPM E-326-2060 for Ytong Blocks, 60 mm Diameter

The EPM E-326-2060 core drill bit is designed for creating 60 mm diameter holes in Ytong and other aerated concrete blocks. Intended for use with compatible rotary drills or drill drivers and appropriate holders, this bit enables precise circular cuts in porous masonry to accommodate pipes, conduits or anchor points. Its form and cutting edge are optimized for working with lightweight, low-density block materials common in modern construction and installation tasks.

Advantages

This core drill bit offers a 60 mm cutting diameter that delivers consistent hole size for installations requiring larger openings. The geometry and edge design reduce tearing and crumbling in aerated concrete, improving the quality of the hole and reducing manual finishing. Compatibility with standard drill holders and rotary tools makes it straightforward to integrate into existing tool sets on site.

Suitable for

• Creating circular openings for pipes and conduits in Ytong and aerated concrete
• Making holes for anchors and fixtures in lightweight masonry
• Installation work in residential and commercial construction where large-diameter holes are needed

Key specifications

• Cutting diameter: 60 mm
• Material target: Ytong and aerated concrete blocks
• Intended tool type: rotary drills and drill drivers with compatible holders
• Application: dry drilling or low-speed drilling in porous masonry
• Typical use: making pipe, conduit and anchor openings

How to use

Mount the core bit in a compatible drill chuck or holder designed for large-diameter bits, ensuring secure clamping before operation. Position the drill perpendicular to the block surface and start drilling at low to moderate speed, applying steady, even pressure. Withdraw occasionally to clear debris and prevent clogging. After reaching the required depth, stop the tool and remove the bit carefully to avoid chipping the hole edge. Follow the drill and holder manufacturer's safety and operation instructions throughout the task.

Usage recommendations

Use a drill with sufficient torque rather than high RPM, and consider water cooling only if both the bit and tool are rated for wet use; otherwise perform dry drilling with periodic clearing of dust. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment including eye protection and a dust mask when drilling aerated concrete.
