Drill bit Smart SDS MAX 14 mm for concrete, model 18-140540

Drill bit Smart SDS MAX 14 mm for concrete, model 18-140540 is a rotary-hammer bit designed for drilling clean, precise holes in reinforced and non-reinforced concrete, masonry and natural stone. The 14 mm diameter makes it suitable for installing anchors, dowels and through-fixing in construction and renovation tasks. This SDS MAX shank bit is compatible with rotary hammers that accept SDS MAX tooling and is intended for both professional tradespeople and informed DIY users who need reliable performance when working with hard substrates.

Advantages

The Smart SDS MAX 14 mm drill bit provides consistent drilling performance in concrete thanks to its purpose-designed flute geometry and durable cutting head. Its SDS MAX shank ensures secure tool-to-bit connection for efficient impact energy transfer and reduced slipping during heavy-duty use. The bit is balanced for straight drilling and helps to reduce clogging, which improves drilling speed and hole quality. Manufactured with materials and heat treatment appropriate for concrete drilling, it offers a practical balance of durability and usability for frequent on-site use.

Suitable for

• Creating anchor and dowel holes in reinforced and non-reinforced concrete
• Drilling through-holes for plumbing or electrical conduits in masonry
• Fixing brackets, rails and fixtures to stone or block walls
• Renovation tasks where precise 14 mm holes are required

Key specifications

• Drill diameter: 14 mm
• Shank type: SDS MAX compatible
• Intended material: concrete, reinforced concrete, masonry, natural stone
• Application: rotary hammer (hammer drilling) use
• Typical use case: anchor and through-hole drilling

How to use

Fit the SDS MAX shank into the rotary hammer according to the tool manufacturer's instructions and secure it in the chuck. Select appropriate rotation and hammer mode for concrete drilling. Start drilling at low speed to create a guide, then increase to normal working speed with steady, even pressure—avoid forcing the bit to prevent overheating or premature wear. Periodically withdraw the bit to clear dust from the hole and to allow cooling. For deep holes, work in stages and clear debris regularly to maintain drilling efficiency.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment: safety goggles, dust mask and hearing protection. For reinforced concrete, use intermittent drilling and apply lubricant or cooling only if recommended by the rotary hammer manufacturer. Match the 14 mm bit to anchor or dowel diameters specified by the fastener manufacturer to ensure correct fit and load performance.
