Masonry Drill Bit Selection — Quick Reference
Masonry drill bits cut CONCRETE + BRICK + BLOCK + MORTAR + masonry. TUNGSTEN CARBIDE TIP welded to steel body. Hammer drill or rotary hammer required for efficient cutting — standard drill insufficient.
| Masonry Drill Type | Best For |
|---|---|
| TCT Masonry Drill (Standard) | Concrete + brick + block — hammer drill |
| SDS-Plus Masonry Drill | Rotary hammer drill — workshop standard |
| SDS-Max Masonry Drill | Heavy demolition rotary hammer |
| Diamond-Tipped Masonry | Reinforced concrete + harder material |
| Common Diameters (4-40mm) | Match to fastener / anchor |
| Set (Sizes 4-12mm typical) | Workshop range |
Critical: USE HAMMER DRILL or rotary hammer — standard drill won't cut efficiently + dulls bit fast. SLOW SPEED + steady pressure. Match shank type to drill chuck (standard / SDS-Plus / SDS-Max). PPE — eye protection + dust mask MANDATORY (silica dust). Brands: Sutton Tools, Bordo. Companion: drilling, concrete anchors, concrete screws.
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.
