Simpson Strong-Tie SDS-Plus Fixed-Depth Drill Bit for 1/2" Short Drop-In Anchor (DIAS) - Model MDPL062DIAS - is an SDS-plus shank drill bit engineered to properly prepare anchor sites for Simpson Strong-Tie Drop-In anchors in normal-weight, sand-lightweight, and hollow-core concrete. Designed to drill to a precise, fixed depth, this bit ensures consistent, correctly sized holes for reliable anchor performance without guesswork or manual depth-setting.

Key Features

• Fixed-depth design drills to an exact, predetermined depth for consistent anchor installation every time
• SDS-plus shank provides secure, tool-free bit retention and efficient rotary-hammer energy transfer
• Specifically matched to the 1/2 in. Short Drop-In (DIAS) anchor for properly sized hole preparation
• Compatible with normal-weight, sand-lightweight, and hollow-core concrete substrates
• 5/8 in. diameter bit produces the correct hole size required for 1/2 in. Drop-In anchors
• 1-1/16 in. drilling depth is precisely calibrated to the anchor's required embedment
• Eliminates the need for external depth stops or manual measurement during drilling

Frequently Asked Questions

What anchor is this drill bit designed to work with?

This fixed-depth SDS-plus drill bit is specifically designed to prepare anchor sites for the Simpson Strong-Tie 1/2 in. Short Drop-In anchor (DIAS). It is matched to that anchor's required hole diameter and embedment depth.

What hole diameter and drilling depth does this bit produce?

The MDPL062DIAS produces a 5/8 in. diameter hole at a fixed drilling depth of 1-1/16 in., precisely calibrated for the 1/2 in. Short Drop-In anchor installation requirements.

What concrete types is this drill bit compatible with?

This bit is suitable for use in normal-weight concrete, sand-lightweight concrete, and hollow-core concrete - the substrates for which Simpson Strong-Tie Drop-In anchors are approved.

What type of drill is required to use this bit?

This bit features an SDS-plus shank, which requires an SDS-plus compatible rotary hammer drill. The SDS-plus interface ensures secure bit retention and efficient energy transfer during drilling.
