Drill bit GRAPHITE 10 mm for concrete, cylindrical shank (57H344)

GRAPHITE 10 mm drill bit for concrete with a cylindrical shank is designed for drilling masonry and concrete surfaces. The bit is intended for use with hammer drills and rotary hammers that accept cylindrical shanks and is suitable for creating anchor holes, dowel holes and through-holes in concrete, brick and similar materials. The tool geometry and carbide tip provide efficient material removal and consistent hole diameter when used with suitable power tools.

Advantages

The 10 mm diameter and cylindrical shank design ensure compatibility with a wide range of hammer drills and stand mixers that accept straight shanks. The carbide tip improves wear resistance and penetration into hard substrates, while the flute geometry facilitates efficient dust and debris evacuation from the hole. The bit is balanced for stable drilling and maintains hole accuracy during repetitive tasks.

Suitable for

• Drilling anchor and dowel holes in reinforced concrete
• Creating through-holes in brick and masonry
• Installation work for electrical and plumbing fixtures that require fixed-diameter holes
• General construction and renovation where hammer action is used

Key specifications

• Diameter: 10 mm
• Shank type: cylindrical (straight) shank
• Intended material: concrete, brick, masonry
• Tip material: carbide tip for concrete drilling
• Flute design: spiral flutes for chip removal

How to use

Secure the cylindrical shank in the chuck of a hammer drill or rotary hammer that accepts straight shanks. Select the hammer or rotary mode appropriate for concrete or masonry. Position the bit perpendicular to the work surface, start drilling at low speed to establish the pilot, then increase to recommended drilling speed while applying steady pressure. Withdraw the bit periodically to clear dust from the hole and prevent overheating. Use appropriate personal protective equipment including eye protection, gloves and a dust mask.

Usage recommendations

Use the drill bit with machines that support cylindrical shanks and hammer action. Match drilling speed and pressure to the substrate hardness; excessive force or very high speed can reduce bit life. For longer holes, clear debris frequently and consider using dust extraction or wet drilling where applicable to prolong tool life and improve hole quality.
