Masonry Drill Bits

Masonry Drill Bits

AIMS Industrial sells masonry drill bits & sets for drilling concrete, brick, block, stone and mortar joints. Our range from Sutton Tools, Bordo and Morris includes round-shank sets for hammer drills, SDS-plus sets for rotary hammers and extended-range sets for construction and civil applications.

Masonry Drill Types

• Round shank carbide tip: The standard masonry bit for corded and cordless hammer drills — carbide brazed tip with spiral flute for chip clearance in concrete and brick.
• SDS-plus masonry bits: Positive SDS-plus locking shank for rotary hammers — superior impact energy delivery compared to round shank bits in hard concrete drilling.
• Multi-purpose masonry bits: Cross-pattern carbide tips designed to cut in concrete, brick, tile and wood with a single bit — popular for trade renovation work.
• Percussion flat bits: Hardened flat tungsten carbide tip for heavy-duty breaker attachment — used for initial penetration in hard reinforced concrete.
• Set sizes: 5–6 piece sets (5–12 mm) for general trade use; 6–10 piece extended sets (5–16 mm) for construction and renovation with varied anchor sizes.

Drilling Performance Tips

• Hammer mode selection: Always use hammer or rotary hammer mode for masonry — rotation-only drilling destroys carbide tips and generates dangerous heat.
• Bit wear signs: Overheating (tip glowing) and loss of drilling rate indicate a worn carbide tip — a blunt masonry bit causes damage to both bit and surface material.
• Avoiding rebar: A reinforcement-detection scanner before drilling reduces the risk of hitting steel bars in concrete — carbide masonry bits cannot cut through rebar.
• Hole cleaning: Blow out masonry holes with compressed air before inserting anchors — dust and debris prevent full anchor expansion and reduce holding capacity.
