SDS‑MAX Masonry Drill Bit Verto 18×400 mm model 60H232 for Rotary Hammers

Verto SDS‑MAX masonry drill bit 18×400 mm (model 60H232) is a long SDS‑MAX shank bit designed for use with compatible rotary hammers and demolition hammers. With an 18 mm diameter and 400 mm overall length, it is intended for drilling into concrete, masonry and similar building materials for anchor holes, through‑holes and installation work. The SDS‑MAX connection ensures quick, secure fitting and efficient power transfer during heavy‑duty drilling tasks.

Advantages

The drill bit features a reinforced tip geometry optimized for percussion drilling in hard substrates, providing stable centring and reduced walking at drill start. Its long 400 mm length allows for deeper boreholes without extensions, while the SDS‑MAX shank ensures reliable retention and easy insertion or removal in compatible rotary hammers. The shank and flute design facilitate efficient dust removal and heat dissipation to maintain cutting performance during extended use.

Suitable for

• Drilling anchor holes and through‑holes in concrete and solid masonry
• Installation of electrical and plumbing conduits through walls and floors
• Preparation of fixing points for structural and non‑structural fastenings
• Use with SDS‑MAX rotary hammers for medium to heavy‑duty drilling tasks

Key specifications

• Diameter: 18 mm
• Overall length: 400 mm
• Shank type: SDS‑MAX
• Intended materials: concrete, masonry, brick, stone
• Application: percussion (hammer) drilling for anchor and through holes

How to use

Select a compatible SDS‑MAX rotary hammer and set it to the hammer drilling mode. Secure the bit in the tool's chuck by inserting the SDS‑MAX shank until it locks. Mark the drilling location and start drilling at low speed to establish a pilot seat, then apply steady pressure and increase speed as needed while allowing the hammer action to do the cutting. Withdraw periodically to clear debris from the hole and check depth. Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses, hearing protection and dust control measures while operating the tool.

Usage recommendations

For best results in reinforced concrete, use intermittent drilling and withdraw the bit regularly to remove cuttings and reduce heat. Match drill diameter to anchor specifications and inspect the bit tip for wear before demanding jobs; replace the bit if cutting performance or centring deteriorates.
