Drill bit RAWLPLUG SDS‑MAX 26 mm RT‑MAXT‑26/690 for rotary hammers and concrete drilling

RAWLPLUG SDS‑MAX 26 mm RT‑MAXT‑26/690 is a drill bit engineered for use with SDS‑MAX rotary hammers, designed to drill into concrete, reinforced concrete and masonry. With a 26 mm diameter and a geometry suited to impact drilling, this bit provides consistent hole quality and reliable performance for heavy‑duty anchoring, dowelling and through‑hole drilling tasks on construction and renovation sites.

Advantages

The drill bit features an SDS‑MAX shank for secure tool engagement and efficient transfer of hammer energy, reducing slippage and wear during repetitive impact drilling. Its carbide tip and flute geometry are optimized to evacuate dust and debris effectively, maintaining drilling speed and extending the service life of the bit. The 26 mm core size balances rigidity and material removal rate, offering stability for accurate hole placement in demanding applications.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes for heavy‑duty anchors and dowels in concrete and masonry
• Through‑hole drilling where a 26 mm diameter is required
• Renovation and construction tasks involving reinforced concrete and blockwork
• Use with SDS‑MAX rotary hammers for impact drilling applications

Key specifications

• Shank type: SDS‑MAX compatible
• Nominal diameter: 26 mm
• Intended materials: concrete, reinforced concrete, masonry
• Tip material: carbide cutting tip for impact drilling
• Flute design: optimized for dust evacuation during hammer drilling

How to use

Fit the SDS‑MAX shank securely into the rotary hammer chuck according to the tool manufacturer's instructions. Select the hammer drilling mode and apply steady axial pressure while allowing the tool to perform the impact action—avoid excessive force that may cause bit breakage or premature wear. Withdraw the bit periodically to clear dust and debris from the hole and flutes, and check hole depth against the required specification. Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety goggles, hearing protection and dust mask when drilling.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use the drill bit with rotary hammers rated for SDS‑MAX bits and match drilling speed and pressure to the material. Monitor the condition of the carbide tip and replace the bit if wear reduces drilling efficiency or causes inaccurate holes. When drilling reinforced concrete, use controlled feed pressure and consider pre‑locating rebar to avoid contact that can damage the bit.
