Twist drill bit Irwin 10501956 — 6 mm, single piece, for rotary hammer

Irwin 10501956 is a single 6 mm twist drill bit engineered for use with rotary hammers. The bit combines a patented extra-short carbide tip and a single-flute body to deliver faster penetration and effective dust evacuation when drilling 6 mm holes in appropriate materials. The shank is compatible with SDS rotary hammers, and the construction uses a high-temperature brazing process to secure the carbide tip for improved heat resistance and tool life.

Advantages

The patented extra-short carbide tip concentrates cutting forces near the head, improving durability and allowing more aggressive concave cutting angles for faster drilling. The design directs drilling debris into the flute to reduce clogging, while a single-flute geometry increases waste-removal capacity compared with conventional multi-flute bits. Brazing at elevated temperature provides a strong bond between tip and body, contributing to consistent performance and prolonged service life. The shank fits SDS rotary hammers for straightforward tool interchangeability.

Suitable for

• Drilling 6 mm holes with SDS rotary hammers
• Concrete and masonry drilling tasks
• General trades work where a fast, durable 6 mm bit is required

Key specifications

How to use

Secure the bit in the SDS chuck according to the rotary hammer manufacturer's instructions. Use appropriate hammer drill mode for percussion drilling in concrete or masonry. Apply steady, moderate pressure while allowing the bit and tool to do the cutting; avoid excessive force that can accelerate wear. Periodically withdraw the bit from the hole to clear dust and allow cooling, particularly during extended drilling sessions.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment (safety glasses, hearing protection, dust mask) when drilling. Select drill speed and hammer settings suitable for concrete or masonry. Replace the bit when cutting performance declines or if the carbide tip is damaged. Store dry and avoid striking the carbide tip against hard surfaces when not mounted in the tool.
