Masonry drill bit Irwin 14 x 160 mm for concrete, brick and stone

Irwin masonry drill bit 14 x 160 mm is designed for drilling clean, accurate holes in concrete, brick and natural stone. Intended for use with hammer drills and rotary hammers, this bit combines a durable carbide tip and flute geometry optimised for efficient dust removal and stable drilling performance. The 14 mm diameter and 160 mm overall length make it suitable for common anchoring and through-hole requirements in construction and renovation projects.

Advantages

The carbide tip provides long wear resistance and effective penetration into hard substrates while the flute design clears debris quickly to maintain cutting efficiency. Robust shaft construction reduces bending and increases stability during hammering action. Compatible with standard SDS-plus or cylindrical chucks when used with the appropriate drill, the bit delivers repeatable hole quality for fast installation of anchors, fixtures and conduits.

Suitable for

• Drilling anchor holes in concrete and masonry
• Creating through-holes for pipes and cables in brick or stone
• Preparing fixation points for fixtures, brackets and rails
• General construction and renovation drilling tasks

Key specifications

• Diameter: 14 mm
• Overall length: 160 mm
• Material tip: carbide
• Intended materials: concrete, brick, natural stone
• Compatibility: hammer drills and rotary hammers (requires matching chuck type)

How to use

Secure the drill bit in the appropriate chuck for your hammer drill or rotary hammer, ensuring correct seating and tightening. Mark the drilling position and start at low speed to establish the groove, then apply steady pressure with hammer action engaged for masonry. Withdraw the bit periodically to clear dust and prevent overheating. For through-holes, verify depth as you proceed and finish with a clean pull to remove remaining debris.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment including eye protection, hearing protection and dust mask. Match drill speed and hammer settings to the substrate: lower speeds for harder stone, moderate speeds for concrete and standard settings for brick. Keep the bit clean and inspect the carbide tip for wear; replace the bit when cutting performance declines to maintain hole accuracy and safety.
