The Simpson SDS-Plus Solid-Tip Carbide Drill Bit, 3/16 in. x 6-1/4 in. is a premium, professional-grade rotary hammer bit engineered for reliable performance in concrete, masonry, and other demanding drilling applications. Built to precise tolerance requirements, this bit incorporates proprietary design features that work together to maximize drilling speed, extend service life, and reduce operator effort - making it a dependable choice for contractors and tradespeople who need consistent results on the job.

Key Features

• Uniformly brazed carbide inserts - deliver consistent cutting performance throughout the life of the bit, reducing the need for frequent replacements and lowering overall tool costs
• Chromium-nickel-molybdenum steel alloy body - provides the structural integrity needed to withstand repeated hammer blows, ensuring hammering quality and extended service life even under heavy use
• Heat-treatment procedures and shot-peened finish - increase surface hardness and drilling speed, reduce drill bit wear, and improve resistance to bending forces so the bit holds up in tough conditions
• Chisel-shaped drill-bit head - penetrates material efficiently and directs concrete dust into the multi-flute spiral, keeping the cutting zone clear for faster, cleaner drilling
• High-volume, multi-flute spiral - quickly channels concrete dust from the hole to improve drilling speed and help maintain a cleaner work area
• Solid-tip carbide construction - offers reliable, consistent penetration in concrete and masonry without the inconsistency of lesser tip designs
• SDS-plus shank - is compatible with standard SDS-plus rotary hammer tools, allowing secure engagement and quick, tool-free bit changes to keep work moving efficiently
• Conforms to ANSI Standard B212.15 - ensures the bit meets recognized industry dimensional and performance standards, giving buyers confidence in quality and compatibility

Why This Product

• Professional-grade materials engineered for longevity - the combination of a chromium-nickel-molybdenum steel alloy body, uniformly brazed carbide inserts, and a heat-treated, shot-peened finish means this bit is built to outlast standard carbide bits in repetitive concrete and masonry drilling tasks
• Faster drilling with less downtime - the chisel-shaped head and high-volume, multi-flute spiral work together to clear concrete dust continuously, maintaining cutting speed and reducing the interruptions that come with clogged or slowed bits
• Precision manufacturing to verified standards - designed and produced to meet ANSI Standard B212.15 and precise tolerance requirements, this bit delivers predictable, repeatable results for professional applications where accuracy matters
• Broad compatibility with SDS-plus rotary hammer tools - the SDS-plus shank fits the widely used SDS-plus system, making this bit a practical addition to an existing tool setup without requiring adapters or special equipment

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of shank does this drill bit use?

This drill bit features an SDS-plus shank, which is compatible with SDS-plus rotary hammer tools and allows for quick, tool-free bit changes.

What is the maximum drilling depth for this bit?

This bit provides a maximum drilling depth of 4 in., with an overall length of 6-1/4 in. and a diameter of 3/16 in.

What makes this drill bit more durable than standard bits?

Durability is enhanced through several design features: uniformly brazed carbide inserts extend bit life, a chromium-nickel-molybdenum steel alloy body ensures hammering quality and extended service life, and heat-treatment procedures combined with a shot-peened finish increase surface hardness and improve resistance to bending forces.

How does this bit handle concrete dust during drilling?

The chisel-shaped drill-bit head penetrates the material and directs concrete dust into the high-volume, multi-flute spiral, which quickly channels the dust out of the hole to improve drilling speed and keep the work area cleaner.
