Drill America DAM18X1/2 1/2 x 18 Carbide Tipped Masonry Drill Bit

Engineered with wide flutes to provide fast dust removal in softer materials, the Drill America DAM series carbide-tipped masonry drill bit is designed for drilling in brick, concrete, and sandstone. Featuring carbide tips brazed to tough steel bodies, these drill bits are larger than the nominal drill size to provide clearance for the installation of anchor screws, expansion shields, and toggle bolts. The carbide-tipped tools boast cutting edges of carbide for wear resistance, coupled with a steel shank for toughness, making them suitable for use in portable electric drills.

The black oxide treatment added to these tools enhances lubricity and creates small pockets on the surface, which act to hold coolant near the cutting edge. This feature helps to improve the drilling performance and extend the tool's lifespan. Additionally, the round shanks of the drill bits allow for use with a wide variety of toolholding systems, providing versatility and flexibility in various applications.

When operated in a counterclockwise direction (right-hand cut), the spiral fluted design of the tools effectively evacuates chips up and out of the cut, reducing the risk of clogging. This efficient chip removal contributes to a smoother and more efficient drilling process, minimizing the need for frequent interruptions to clear the work area.

Designed specifically for use in portable electric drills, these carbide-tipped masonry drill bits from Drill America's DAM series offer a durable and reliable solution for drilling tasks in a wide range of materials, including brick, concrete, and sandstone. The combination of the carbide tips, steel bodies, and various engineering features ensures that these drill bits can withstand the demands of heavy-duty drilling applications while delivering consistent and high-quality results.

In summary, the Drill America DAM series carbide-tipped masonry drill bits are engineered to provide efficient and effective drilling performance in a variety of masonry materials. With their unique design elements, such as wide flutes for fast dust removal, carbide tips for wear resistance, and a black oxide treatment for enhanced lubricity, these drill bits are well-suited for use in portable electric drills, delivering a convenient and reliable solution for a wide range of construction and renovation projects.
