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, reduce drill bit wear, and improve 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
• 2-cutter head design for efficient material penetration
• SDS-plus shank for secure, tool-free bit changes in compatible rotohammers

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of rotohammer is this drill bit compatible with?

This drill bit features an SDS-plus shank, which allows for secure, tool-free bit changes in any SDS-plus compatible rotohammer. It is not compatible with SDS-max or standard round-shank rotary drills.

What is the maximum drilling depth this bit can achieve?

The Simpson MDPL05618 has a drilling depth of 16 in. and an overall length of 18 in., giving the user clearance for the shank to remain engaged in the tool chuck while reaching the full drilling depth.

What materials is this drill bit designed to drill into?

This bit is designed for drilling into concrete, masonry, and similar hard materials. Its carbide-tipped, chisel-shaped 2-cutter head penetrates hard material efficiently, while the high-volume multi-flute spiral channels concrete dust out of the hole to maintain drilling speed.

What construction and quality standards does this drill bit meet?

The Simpson MDPL05618 conforms to ANSI Standard B212.15. It is made from a chromium-nickel-molybdenum steel alloy body with uniformly brazed carbide inserts, and undergoes heat-treatment procedures and a shot-peened finish to increase surface hardness, extend service life, and improve resistance to bending forces.
