Description
SDS drill bit is a specific type of drill bit designed for use with rotary hammer drills that have an SDS (Slotted Drive System) chuck.
Here's what the "8x110mm" specification typically means:
Diameter (8mm): The "8mm" measurement refers to the diameter of the drill bit. In this case, it's 8 millimetres. This measurement indicates the size of the hole the drill bit will create.
Length (110mm): The "110mm" indicates the length of the drill bit. This length allows you to drill holes of that depth.
Here are some key points about SDS drill bits:
SDS Shank: SDS drill bits have a specialized shank that fits into an SDS chuck. The SDS chuck provides a secure and quick-release mechanism, allowing for efficient drilling and hammering in rotary hammer drills.
Usage: SDS drill bits are commonly used for heavy-duty drilling in hard materials like concrete, brick, and stone. The hammering action of the rotary hammer drill, combined with the rapid rotation of the bit, allows for fast and efficient drilling in tough materials.
Varieties: SDS drill bits come in various sizes and styles, including standard SDS, SDS-Plus, and SDS-Max, which have different shank designs and are compatible with specific types of rotary hammer drills.
Safety: When using SDS drill bits, it's crucial to wear appropriate safety gear, including safety goggles, hearing protection, and dust masks, as drilling into masonry can produce dust and noise.
Cooling: For longer bit life and better results, it's advisable to periodically withdraw the bit from the hole to allow for cooling and to remove accumulated dust and debris.
Availability: SDS drill bits, including the 8x110mm size, can be found at hardware stores, construction supply outlets, and online retailers. Always ensure that you are using the correct type and size of drill bit for your specific drilling needs and that it is compatible with your rotary hammer drill's chuck type (SDS, SDS-Plus, or SDS-Max). Follow safety guidelines and the manufacturer's instructions to ensure safe and effective drilling.
