Drill Bit Smart SDS‑MAX 14 mm for Concrete, model 18-140340

Smart SDS‑MAX 14 mm drill bit (model 18-140340) is designed for rotary and rotary‑hammer drilling in concrete and masonry. The bit has an SDS‑MAX shank that provides secure retention in compatible hammer drills and allows efficient power transfer for drilling 14 mm diameter holes in reinforced and non‑reinforced concrete, blockwork and similar hard substrates. It is intended for both professional and DIY construction tasks where durable, reliable concrete drilling is required.

Advantages

The solid carbide tip and optimized flute geometry ensure fast material removal and consistent drilling performance in tough substrates. The SDS‑MAX shank design minimizes play and simplifies bit changes under jobsite conditions. Durable construction reduces wear during repeated use and maintains hole accuracy over time. The bit's dimensions and balance are suitable for use with SDS‑MAX rotary‑hammer tools, providing stable drilling and reduced user effort.

Suitable for

• Drilling 14 mm diameter holes in reinforced and non‑reinforced concrete
• Creating anchor and fixing holes in masonry and blockwork
• Installation of dowels, rebar starter holes, and through‑fixings
• Use with SDS‑MAX rotary‑hammer drills on construction sites and renovation projects

Key specifications

• Shank type: SDS‑MAX for compatible rotary‑hammer tools
• Drill diameter: 14 mm
• Intended material: reinforced and non‑reinforced concrete, masonry
• Tip: carbide‑tipped for improved wear resistance and drilling speed
• Application: rotary and rotary‑hammer drilling modes

How to use

Fit the SDS‑MAX shank securely into a compatible rotary‑hammer drill according to the tool manufacturer's instructions. Select the rotary‑hammer or rotary mode appropriate for the substrate, then position the bit at the marked drilling point. Apply steady, moderate pressure and allow the tool to do the work; avoid excessive force that can cause premature wear. Withdraw the bit periodically to clear dust and debris from the hole for improved drilling efficiency and cooler cutting conditions. After drilling, inspect the hole and clean as required before placing anchors or fixings.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses, hearing protection and dust mask when drilling concrete. Match the drill bit length and the hammer drill's power to the application to ensure efficient performance; replace the bit when wear impairs drilling speed or hole accuracy.
