Drill bit GRAPHITE SDS‑MAX 32 mm for concrete, model 57H542

GRAPHITE SDS‑MAX 32 mm drill bit for concrete (model 57H542) is a masonry drill designed for use with SDS‑MAX rotary hammers. The 32 mm diameter and carbide tip provide durability and efficient material removal when creating holes in plain or reinforced concrete and common masonry substrates. The shank is formed to fit SDS‑MAX chucks, ensuring secure engagement and torque transfer for heavy‑duty drilling operations in construction, installation and repair tasks.

Advantages

The carbide tip maintains cutting performance and wear resistance when drilling into abrasive concrete and masonry. The SDS‑MAX shank design delivers reliable seating in compatible rotary hammers, reducing slippage and improving impact energy transmission. The 32 mm diameter is suitable for common anchor and sleeve installations, while the bit geometry supports effective dust removal and steady drilling progress under sustained loads.

Suitable for

• Drilling anchor holes in reinforced and plain concrete
• Installation of sleeves and dowels
• Creating passageways for pipes and conduits in masonry
• Repair and renovation works requiring through or blind holes in concrete

Key specifications

• Diameter: 32 mm
• Tip material: carbide
• Shank type: SDS‑MAX
• Intended use: concrete and general masonry
• Application: rotary hammer drilling with hammer function

How to use

Install the drill bit into an SDS‑MAX compatible rotary hammer according to the tool manufacturer's instructions, ensuring the chuck and shank are clean and undamaged. Select the hammer drilling mode and set an appropriate drilling speed and feed pressure—steady, moderate pressure helps the carbide tip work efficiently while avoiding bit overheating. Periodically withdraw the bit to clear dust and debris from the hole; for deep holes, use staged drilling with intermittent clearing. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including eye, ear and respiratory protection, and follow site safety procedures.

Usage recommendations

For best results in reinforced concrete, start with a pilot position and maintain consistent feed pressure. When drilling deep or multiple holes, allow the bit to cool by pausing occasionally and clearing debris to prolong tip life. Use a dust extraction system or vacuum attachment where possible to reduce dust exposure and keep the work area clean.
