Drill Bit RAWLPLUG SDS‑MAX 26 mm, model RT‑MAXT‑26/340

RAWLPLUG SDS‑MAX 26 mm drill bit (model RT‑MAXT‑26/340) is a rotary hammer accessory engineered for drilling 26 mm diameter holes in concrete, masonry and similar substrates. Designed for use with SDS‑MAX chucks, this bit provides the geometry and material properties required for efficient penetration and removal of material when used with compatible rotary hammers. The design supports construction, installation and anchoring tasks that require reliable, consistent hole diameter and depth control.

Advantages

The drill bit combines SDS‑MAX compatibility with a robust flute profile to ensure fast dust removal and stable drilling. Its carbide tip and hardened body deliver wear resistance and maintain cutting performance over repeated use in abrasive materials. The shank and connection are manufactured to fit securely in SDS‑MAX hammer chucks, reducing play and improving energy transfer from the tool to the cutting edge for effective drilling in reinforced concrete and masonry.

Suitable for

• Drilling 26 mm diameter anchor and dowel holes in concrete and masonry
• Creating holes for through-fixing or setting chemical anchors
• Preparation work for plumbing, electrical and HVAC installations in structural substrates
• General construction and refurbishment tasks requiring precise, repeatable holes

Key specifications

• Nominal drill diameter: 26 mm
• Compatibility: SDS‑MAX rotary hammers
• Cutting tip: carbide tip for improved wear resistance
• Shank type: SDS‑MAX connection for secure engagement
• Intended materials: concrete, reinforced concrete, brick and masonry
• Typical application: anchor and fixing hole drilling

How to use

Insert the SDS‑MAX shank into the rotary hammer chuck until it locks. Select the hammer drilling mode on the tool and apply steady axial pressure while keeping the drill perpendicular to the work surface. Use a slow to medium feed rate at first to establish the hole, then maintain consistent pressure and allow the tool’s hammering action to advance the bit. Periodically withdraw the bit to clear accumulated dust and debris from the hole for improved performance and to prevent overheating. Observe the manufacturer’s instructions for the rotary hammer and recommended drilling speeds for the substrate.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment including eye protection, hearing protection and dust mask when drilling. For deep holes or hard, reinforced sections, use intermittent drilling with frequent clearing of debris and consider pilot drilling if required. Match drill diameter and depth to anchor or fixing manufacturer guidelines to ensure secure installations.
