Drill bit for concrete STANLEY SDS+ 6 mm STA54522

STANLEY SDS+ 6 mm drill bit for concrete STA54522 is designed for use with rotary hammer drills featuring an SDS+ shank. The 6 mm diameter carbide-tipped bit is intended for drilling precise holes in concrete, masonry and natural stone for anchors, dowels and cable routing. Its SDS+ shank ensures secure fitting and quick bit changes, while the carbide tip improves wear resistance and drilling life under typical construction conditions.

Advantages

The drill bit combines an SDS+ shank for stable engagement with a carbide cutting tip that maintains cutting performance when working in abrasive materials. Its 6 mm diameter offers a standard size for fixing and routing tasks while remaining compatible with common rotary hammer models. The bit’s construction supports repeated use in concrete and masonry applications and allows for efficient debris removal during rotary hammer operation.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes in concrete for anchors and dowels
• Creating cable and conduit routes through masonry
• General installation and construction tasks requiring a 6 mm hole
• Work with natural stone and brick where an SDS+ system is used

Key specifications

• Shank type: SDS+ for secure retention in compatible rotary hammers
• Diameter: 6 mm suitable for standard fixing components
• Tip material: carbide for improved wear resistance
• Intended materials: concrete, masonry and natural stone

How to use

Insert the SDS+ shank into the rotary hammer chuck until it locks, then select the hammer drilling mode if available. Mark the drilling point, start at low speed to establish the position, and then apply steady pressure while allowing the tool to provide the percussive action. Periodically withdraw the bit to clear dust and debris from the hole and maintain drilling performance. Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as eye protection, hearing protection and a dust mask when working with concrete and masonry.

Usage recommendations

For best results, match the drill speed and hammer setting to the base material and avoid excessive sideways pressure on the bit. Replace the bit if the carbide tip shows significant wear or chipping to preserve hole quality and reduce stress on the rotary hammer.
