Simpson MDPL06808 11/16 in. x 8 in. SDS-plus Shank Drill Bit is a premium-quality, professional-grade carbide-tipped drill bit from Simpson Strong-Tie, engineered to deliver precise, high-speed drilling in concrete and masonry applications. Built to meet exact tolerance requirements and conforming to ANSI Standard B212.15, this 2-Cutter Head SDS-plus bit incorporates proprietary design features that maximize durability, drilling speed, and ease of use on demanding jobsites.

Key Features

• Uniformly brazed carbide inserts result in longer bit life
• Most bits contain a centering tip that facilitates easy spot drilling
• Chromium-nickel-molybdenum steel alloy body ensures hammering quality and extended service life
• Heat-treatment procedures and shot-peened finish increase surface hardness, drilling speed, reduces drill bit wear and improves resistance to bending forces
• Drill bits conform to ANSI Standard B212.15
• Chisel-shaped drill-bit head penetrates the material and directs concrete dust into the multi-flute spiral
• High-volume, multi-flute spiral quickly channels concrete dust from the hole to improve drilling speed
• Designed to meet precise tolerance requirements for consistent, reliable performance

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of shank does the Simpson MDPL06808 drill bit use?

The MDPL06808 features an SDS-plus Shank, which is compatible with SDS-plus rotary hammer drills. This shank design allows for quick, tool-free bit changes and efficient transfer of hammering energy during drilling.

What is the drilling depth and overall length of this bit?

The Simpson MDPL06808 has a drilling depth of 6 in. and an overall length of 8 in., with a diameter of 11/16 in. These dimensions make it well suited for anchoring and fastening applications that require precise, consistent hole depths in concrete and masonry.

What makes the carbide inserts on this drill bit last longer?

The carbide inserts are uniformly brazed onto the bit, which ensures a consistent and secure bond across the entire cutting edge. This uniform brazing process distributes stress evenly during drilling, resulting in longer bit life and more reliable performance over extended use.

How does the design of this bit help manage concrete dust during drilling?

The chisel-shaped drill-bit head penetrates the material and directs concrete dust into the multi-flute spiral. The high-volume, multi-flute spiral then quickly channels that concrete dust from the hole, which improves drilling speed and helps keep the hole clear for more accurate, efficient drilling.
