Drill bit SDS‑MAX Makita 36×1360×1500 mm, 6‑edge

Makita SDS‑MAX drill bit with a 36 mm diameter and 1360 mm working length (1500 mm total length) is designed for rotary and rotary‑hammer drilling in concrete and masonry. The 6‑edge profile improves bit guidance and vibration stability during deep drilling while the SDS‑MAX shank ensures secure, impact‑efficient connection with compatible hammer drills. This tool is intended for creating anchor holes, through‑holes and pilot holes during heavy‑duty demolition and installation work.

Advantages

The 6‑edge profile provides improved centring and reduced deflection in long‑reach drilling. A long 1360 mm working length allows drilling through thick walls and structural elements without the need for extensions. The SDS‑MAX shank offers fast, reliable fitting and efficient transfer of impact energy from the hammer drill to the carbide tip. Manufactured to Makita standards, the bit combines durability with consistent cutting performance on reinforced concrete and masonry.

Suitable for

• Drilling anchor holes in reinforced concrete
• Creating through‑holes in walls and floors
• Pilot drilling for heavy‑duty demolition and retrofit works
• Use with SDS‑MAX rotary‑hammer drills on construction sites

Key specifications

• Diameter: 36 mm
• Working length: 1360 mm
• Total length: 1500 mm
• Shank type: SDS‑MAX
• Profile: 6‑edge
• Intended material: concrete and masonry (including reinforced concrete)

How to use

Select a compatible SDS‑MAX rotary or rotary‑hammer drill and secure the bit in the chuck according to the drill manufacturer’s instructions. Mark the drilling position and, if necessary, pilot the site at low speed to ensure correct alignment. Use rotary‑percussion (hammer) mode for concrete and masonry, applying steady axial pressure without forcing the bit. Withdraw the bit periodically to clear dust from the hole and reduce heat buildup. For through‑holes, maintain alignment and proceed until the required depth is reached.

Usage recommendations

Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including eye protection, hearing protection and dust mask. Use water extraction or dust extraction attachments where possible to minimise airborne silica dust. Avoid excessive lateral force on the bit and allow the drill’s percussion action to do the work to extend bit life.
