Drill Bit RAWLPLUG SDS‑MAX 38 mm RT-MAXT-38/540

RAWLPLUG SDS‑MAX 38 mm RT‑MAXT‑38/540 is a carbide-tipped drill bit designed for use with SDS‑MAX rotary hammers. With a 38 mm drilling diameter and a length suitable for medium-depth holes, this bit is intended for creating clean, precise bores in concrete, reinforced concrete and masonry. The standard SDS‑MAX shank ensures secure retention in compatible rotary hammers and efficient transfer of impact energy for effective material removal.

Advantages

The drill bit delivers consistent drilling performance in dense building materials thanks to a carbide cutting tip and a robust fluted body that evacuates dust and debris. The SDS‑MAX shank provides stable insertion and fast bit changes in rotary hammers that accept this interface. The 38 mm diameter meets common requirements for anchor and sleeve installations and allows professional and DIY users to make accurately sized holes without excessive reaming.

Suitable for

• Drilling 38 mm diameter holes in concrete and reinforced concrete
• Creating mounting holes for mechanical anchors and sleeves
• Working with masonry blocks and brick in construction and renovation
• Professional and DIY tasks requiring SDS‑MAX rotary hammer compatibility

Key specifications

• Drilling diameter: 38 mm
• SDS‑MAX shank type for compatible rotary hammers
• Carbide cutting tip for wear resistance and durability
• Helical flute design for efficient dust and debris removal
• Suitable length for medium-depth holes (standard working length for 540 mm overall length)

How to use

Fit the drill bit securely into an SDS‑MAX compatible rotary hammer according to the tool manufacturer's instructions. Select rotary hammer mode with impact drilling enabled for concrete and masonry. Begin drilling at low speed to seat the tip, then apply steady pressure and allow the tool's impact action to penetrate the material. Periodically withdraw the bit to clear dust from the hole and prolong the bit life. Use personal protective equipment such as eye protection, hearing protection and dust control measures when drilling.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use the bit with a rotary hammer matched to the SDS‑MAX interface and with sufficient impact energy for 38 mm holes in concrete. Maintain a steady drilling rhythm, clear debris regularly, and replace the bit when the cutting tip shows significant wear or reduced drilling speed.
