Drill bit Smart SDS+ 12 mm (model 20-1200600)

The Smart SDS+ 12 mm drill bit (model 20-1200600) is a carbide-tipped masonry bit designed for use with SDS+ rotary hammers and hammer drills. With a 12 mm diameter and an SDS+ shank, it delivers percussive drilling performance suitable for concrete, brick and natural stone. The bit combines a reinforced flute profile for fast dust extraction with a hardened core to withstand repeated hammering during heavy-duty tasks. It is intended for applications where secure bit retention and compatibility with SDS+ chucks are required.

Advantages

The drill bit is engineered for consistent drilling depth and stable axial alignment, reducing wobble during operation. Its carbide tip improves cutting efficiency and extends tool life when used on masonry materials. The SDS+ shank ensures quick insertion and positive locking in compatible hammers, while the flute geometry facilitates more efficient removal of drill debris to maintain drilling speed and reduce heat buildup.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes in concrete for anchors and dowels
• Boring through brick and blockwork for cable and pipe installation
• Creating openings in natural stone for light fixtures and fastenings
• Professional and DIY percussive drilling tasks with SDS+ rotary hammers

Key specifications

• Diameter: 12 mm
• Shank type: SDS+
• Tip material: carbide
• Primary use: concrete, masonry, stone
• Designed for use with rotary hammers and hammer drills featuring SDS+ chucks

How to use

Securely insert the SDS+ shank into the compatible rotary hammer chuck until it locks. Select the hammer drilling mode on the tool and apply steady forward pressure while allowing the hammering action to do the cutting. Withdraw the bit periodically to clear debris from the hole and reduce heat buildup. For through holes, start at low speed to establish position, then increase power as needed. Inspect the carbide tip before use and replace the bit if the tip is chipped or the flute is damaged.

Usage recommendations

Use personal protective equipment including safety goggles, hearing protection and dust mask when drilling masonry. Match drill diameter to anchor specifications and avoid excessive side load to preserve tip life. For extended service life, operate within the recommended tool settings for SDS+ bits and replace the bit when drilling efficiency noticeably decreases.
