5/16" x 24" Carbide Masonry Bit

This carbide-tipped masonry drill bit measures 5/16 inch in diameter and 24 inches in overall length. It is engineered for use in portable electric drills when boring into brick, concrete and sandstone. The brazed carbide tip is larger than the nominal size to create clearance for anchor screws, expansion shields and toggle bolts. The bit suits installers who need deep holes for heavy-duty fasteners.

Wide Flute Dust Removal

Wide flutes are designed to evacuate dust quickly while drilling in softer masonry materials. This geometry helps maintain cutting efficiency during sustained drilling rather than only in short bursts. Faster dust clearance reduces binding and keeps the tip cooler over long runs. The design targets continuous work in brick, concrete and sandstone where debris builds up rapidly.

Heat and Wear in Normal Use

Carbide tips brazed to tough steel bodies resist heat buildup and wear during typical drilling cycles. The brazed joint and carbide hardness are chosen to handle the friction of masonry without rapid dulling. No vibration, noise or power-draw figures are supplied for this accessory.
