Bosch 1 618 596 226 drill bit Hammer drill bit 1 pc(s)

The Bosch 1 618 596 226 hammer drill bit is designed for use with rotary hammers to drill into hard materials. With a diameter of 1.6 cm and sold as a single piece, this bit offers a balance of cutting performance and structural durability for concrete, masonry and other solid substrates. Its robust construction and geometry are intended to provide consistent drilling results when paired with compatible SDS-plus or similar rotary hammer systems.

Advantages

This Bosch hammer drill bit delivers reliable drilling performance in demanding conditions thanks to hardened cutting edges and a reinforced shank profile. The single-piece design reduces the risk of breakage at connection points and the optimized flute geometry helps to evacuate dust and debris, maintaining drilling efficiency. The bit's diameter provides a compromise between hole size and drill stability, making it suitable for both through-holes and anchor preparation.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes in concrete and reinforced concrete
• Making holes in masonry, brick and stone
• Preparing holes for anchors and fixings
• Professional and DIY applications with rotary hammers

Key specifications

• Tool type compatibility: rotary hammers (SDS-plus compatible systems)
• Diameter: 16 mm
• Pack quantity: single piece
• Intended materials: concrete, masonry, brick, natural stone
• Construction: hardened cutting edges with reinforced shank

How to use

Select a rotary hammer compatible with SDS-plus style bits and secure the drill bit according to the tool manufacturer's instructions. Mark the drilling point, position the bit perpendicular to the work surface, and start drilling at low speed to create a guide recess. Increase speed and apply steady pressure; avoid excessive force to prevent bit overheating. Periodically withdraw the bit to remove dust and allow cooling. For deep holes, clear debris frequently to maintain efficient cutting and consistent hole diameter.

Recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment including safety glasses, hearing protection and dust mask. Match the drill mode to the material (hammer mode for concrete), and avoid side loads or bending forces on the bit. For best results in reinforced concrete, use shorter drilling intervals to prevent overheating and inspect the bit for wear before each use.
