Drill Bit MODECO SDS+ 16 mm for Concrete, model MN-61-178

MODECO SDS+ 16 mm concrete drill bit (model MN-61-178) is designed for rotary and hammer drilling in concrete, reinforced concrete and masonry. The 16 mm diameter balances hole size and drilling speed, making the bit suitable for creating anchor holes, passages for conduits and through-fixing points in construction and renovation projects. The shank fits SDS+ chucks and is intended for use with rotary-hammers that accept SDS+ bits.

Advantages

This SDS+ drill bit delivers stable drilling performance in hard materials thanks to its optimized flute geometry and carbide tip. Compatibility with standard SDS+ chucks ensures quick bit changes and secure retention under hammering load. The 16 mm diameter provides efficient material removal while maintaining straight, clean holes for reliable anchoring and fixing.

Suitable for

• Drilling anchor holes in concrete and reinforced concrete
• Making passages for electrical conduit and plumbing
• Preparing fixing points for structural and non-structural fixtures
• General masonry drilling during renovation and construction

Key specifications

• Diameter: 16 mm
• Shank type: SDS+
• Intended materials: concrete, reinforced concrete, masonry
• Drilling modes: rotary and rotary-hammer (hammer drilling)
• Typical applications: anchor holes, conduit passages, fixing points

How to use

Fit the drill bit into an SDS+ compatible rotary-hammer, ensuring the bit locks correctly in the chuck. Select hammer drilling mode for concrete or masonry; use rotary mode only for lighter materials if supported. Start drilling at low speed to establish the position, then apply steady pressure and allow the tool’s hammer action to do the work. Periodically withdraw the bit to clear dust from the hole and prevent clogging. Use appropriate personal protective equipment, including eye and ear protection and dust control measures.

Usage recommendations

For best results, match drill diameter to anchor or conduit specifications. Use a compatible rotary-hammer with sufficient impact energy and keep the bit cool by allowing brief pauses on long runs. Replace the bit when tip wear reduces drilling efficiency or hole quality.
