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 and drilling speed, reduce drill bit wear, and improve resistance to bending forces
• Conforms to ANSI Standard B212.15 for consistent, reliable performance
• 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
• 2-cutter head design for efficient material penetration
• Compatible with SDS-plus shank rotary hammer drills

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of drill is this bit compatible with?

The Simpson MDPL03718 features an SDS-plus shank, making it compatible with any standard SDS-plus shank rotary hammer drill.

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

This drill bit has an overall length of 18 in. and a maximum drilling depth of 16 in.

What materials and construction features contribute to the durability of this drill bit?

The bit body is made from a chromium-nickel-molybdenum steel alloy for hammering quality and extended service life. Uniformly brazed carbide inserts provide longer bit life, and heat-treatment procedures combined with a shot-peened finish increase surface hardness, improve resistance to bending forces, and reduce wear during drilling.

What standards does this drill bit conform to, and what design features improve drilling efficiency?

The Simpson MDPL03718 conforms to ANSI Standard B212.15. Its 2-cutter chisel-shaped head penetrates material efficiently and directs concrete dust into the high-volume, multi-flute spiral, which quickly channels dust out of the hole to improve drilling speed.
