Concrete drill bit Vorel SDS+ 16 mm model 23860

Concrete drill bit Vorel SDS+ 16 mm model 23860 is a purpose-built masonry drill designed for use with rotary hammer drills that accept SDS+ shanks. With a 16 mm diameter and a geometry optimised for drilling into concrete, stone and masonry, this Vorel drill bit delivers consistent hole quality for fixing anchors, installing conduits and routing cables. Constructed for repeated use in demanding conditions, it fits standard SDS+ chucks and is suitable for both professional tradespeople and DIY users who require reliable performance when working with hard substrates.

Advantages

The Vorel SDS+ 16 mm concrete drill bit provides stable drilling with effective dust evacuation thanks to its flute design. Its hardened tip and robust body resist wear during repeated penetration of reinforced concrete and natural stone. Compatibility with SDS+ rotary hammers ensures quick tool changes and secure retention during hammer drilling. The 16 mm diameter offers a common size for anchors and sleeves, balancing hole size and material removal for efficient work.

Suitable for

• Drilling anchor holes in concrete and solid masonry
• Creating openings for conduit and cable routing
• Installing fasteners, sleeves and through-fixings
• General renovation and construction drilling tasks

Key specifications

• Shank type: SDS+ compatible
• Drill diameter: 16 mm
• Intended materials: concrete, masonry, stone
• Tip: hardened carbide or wear-resistant cutting edge (geometry suited to hammer drilling)
• Typical applications: hammer drilling with impact function enabled

How to use

Fit the drill bit into an SDS+ rotary hammer chuck until it locks securely. Select the hammer drilling mode on the rotary hammer. Mark the drilling position and start at low speed to establish the pilot point, then increase speed and apply steady pressure consistent with the tool's specifications. Periodically withdraw the bit to clear accumulated dust and allow the flute to evacuate debris; for deep holes, clear debris more often to maintain drilling efficiency. Use appropriate eye, ear and respiratory protection and follow the rotary hammer manufacturer's guidelines for feed pressure and operation.

Usage recommendations

For best results when drilling reinforced concrete, start with a slightly offset pilot hole to avoid bit wandering, maintain steady feed pressure without forcing the bit, and clear dust regularly. Use dust extraction where available and choose anchors and fasteners matched to the 16 mm hole size.
