Drill bit Makita SDS+ for concrete 5 mm D-00038

Makita SDS+ drill bit for concrete 5 mm D-00038 is a carbide-tipped masonry bit engineered for use with SDS+ rotary hammers. It is designed to drill clean holes in concrete, brick and natural stone, providing reliable centring and efficient chip removal. The 5 mm diameter is suitable for through-holes and anchoring tasks where precise, straight drilling is required.

Advantages

The carbide tip maintains cutting performance and wear resistance when drilling into hard materials, while the SDS+ shank ensures secure retention and quick bit changes in compatible rotary hammers. The flute design promotes effective dust and chip evacuation to reduce clogging and improve drilling speed. Compact 5 mm diameter offers greater control and is suitable for delicate anchoring and pilot holes.

Suitable for

• Drilling through-holes in concrete for anchors and dowels
• Pilot holes in masonry and brickwork
• Light to medium-duty stone and block drilling

Key specifications

• Diameter: 5 mm
• Shank type: SDS+
• Tip material: carbide-tipped
• Primary use: concrete, masonry, natural stone
• Typical applications: through-holes, anchoring, pilot drilling

How to use

Install the Makita SDS+ drill bit in an SDS+ rotary hammer according to the tool manufacturer's instructions. Select an appropriate hammer drilling mode and apply steady, moderate pressure; avoid forcing the bit to prevent premature wear. Drill at a consistent speed, periodically withdrawing the bit to clear dust and chips for improved cutting efficiency. For deep holes, retract the bit more frequently to remove accumulated debris.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment including eye protection, dust mask and hearing protection. Match drilling speed and hammer mode to the substrate hardness; for reinforcement or very hard concrete, consider pre-scanning for rebar. Store bits in a dry place to prevent corrosion and inspect the carbide tip for wear before use to ensure accurate and safe drilling.
