Key Features

• Uniformly brazed carbide inserts result in longer bit life
• 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
• Solid-tip carbide construction for superior penetration and longevity
• SDS-plus shank for secure, tool-free bit changes and positive power transfer in rotary hammer applications

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of shank does the MDPL03712S use, and which rotary hammers is it compatible with?

The MDPL03712S features an SDS-plus shank, which is the industry-standard quick-connect system used on a wide range of professional rotary hammers. The SDS-plus interface provides a secure, tool-free bit change while ensuring efficient power transfer from the hammer to the bit during drilling.

What is the maximum drilling depth this bit can achieve?

This drill bit has a maximum drilling depth of 10 in. The overall length of the bit is 12-1/4 in., with the additional length accommodating the SDS-plus shank and allowing the bit to seat properly in the tool chuck.

How does the bit design improve performance in concrete and masonry?

The chisel-shaped drill-bit head is specifically designed to penetrate hard materials efficiently while directing concrete dust into the high-volume, multi-flute spiral. This spiral rapidly channels dust and debris out of the hole, preventing clogging and maintaining consistent drilling speed throughout the application.

What makes the MDPL03712S more durable than standard drill bits?

Durability is achieved through several premium manufacturing processes: uniformly brazed carbide inserts extend bit life, a chromium-nickel-molybdenum steel alloy body withstands the stresses of hammer drilling, and heat-treatment procedures combined with a shot-peened finish increase surface hardness and resistance to bending forces. The bit also conforms to ANSI Standard B212.15, confirming it meets strict industry tolerance requirements.
