Drill bit Irwin 10501957 twist drill bit 6 mm for rotary hammer 1 pc

Irwin 10501957 is a single 6 mm twist drill bit designed for use with rotary hammer drills. The bit combines a patented extra-short carbide tip and a new single-flute geometry to deliver faster drilling and improved waste removal. Constructed with a high-temperature brazed carbide tip and a shank compatible with SDS rotary hammers, this 1-piece drill bit is intended for reliable performance in tasks that require a precise 6 mm hole using a rotary hammer.

Advantages

The patented extra-short carbide tip takes the majority of the workload, improves durability and enables faster penetration while its concave cutting angles increase cutting aggressiveness. The short tip clears drilling dust directly into the flute to reduce clogging and the self-centering feature simplifies control when starting holes. The single-flute design provides approximately 28% greater chip capacity for more efficient waste removal, and the brazed carbide tip attached at high temperature enhances heat resistance and overall tool life. The shank fits SDS rotary hammers for secure mounting.

Suitable for

• Drilling 6 mm holes with SDS-compatible rotary hammer drills
• General masonry and concrete drilling where faster penetration is required
• Applications needing reliable chip evacuation to reduce clogging
• Jobs that benefit from a self-centering bit for easier starts

How to use

Fit the 6 mm Irwin drill bit into an SDS-compatible rotary hammer according to the tool manufacturer's instructions. Use the appropriate mode (hammer drilling) and apply steady, even pressure; allow the bit's design to remove material rather than forcing it. Start drilling with the self-centering tip to improve control and accuracy. Periodically withdraw the bit to clear debris if drilling deep holes, and ensure the tool's speed and impact settings are suitable for the material being worked.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use the bit in hammer-drilling mode on masonry, concrete or similar materials and avoid excessive lateral loads. Maintain appropriate drill speed and allow the single flute to evacuate chips; clear debris from the hole when necessary. Use appropriate personal protective equipment, including eye and hearing protection, and follow the rotary hammer manufacturer's safety guidelines.
