Hammer drill bit Bosch SDS max-8X 26x200x320mm for SDS-max rotary hammers

Bosch SDS max-8X 26x200x320mm hammer drill bit is engineered for use with SDS-max rotary hammers. With a 26 mm diameter, 200 mm working length and 320 mm overall length, this carbide-tipped bit is suitable for drilling and light chiseling in concrete and masonry. The SDS-max shank provides a secure, quick-fit connection to compatible hammer drills and ensures stable transmission of impact energy for efficient progress on construction and renovation tasks.

Advantages

The reinforced head geometry and carbide tip deliver reliable wear resistance and longer service life when working in abrasive materials. The SDS-max connection gives fast and secure mounting while minimizing play between bit and tool. Optimised flute design removes dust and debris effectively from the hole, maintaining drilling speed and preventing premature clogging. The combination of dimensions offers a balance between reach and rigidity for both through-holes and deeper anchoring holes.

Suitable for

• Drilling standard and reinforced concrete
• Making fixing and anchor holes in masonry
• Light chisel and slotting work where rotary hammer compatibility is required
• Construction, renovation and installation tasks requiring repeated hole drilling

Key specifications

• Shank type: SDS-max
• Tip material: carbide
• Diameter: 26 mm
• Working length: 200 mm
• Total length: 320 mm
• Intended materials: concrete, masonry
• Primary function: drilling and light chiseling

How to use

Select a rotary hammer with SDS-max chuck compatible with the specified shank type. Securely insert the SDS-max shank until it locks according to the tool manufacturer’s instructions. Mark the drilling position and, where possible, use appropriate safety equipment such as eye protection and dust extraction. Start drilling at low speed to create a pilot impression, then apply steady pressure and allow the hammer action to advance the hole; avoid excessive lateral force. For deeper holes, periodically withdraw the bit to clear dust and prevent binding. Use the chisel function of the tool only with bits designed for chiseling if required.

Recommendations

If drilling through reinforced concrete, use progressive drilling with steady pressure and ensure the carbide tip remains sharp; replace the bit when wear reduces drilling efficiency. For reduced dust exposure and cleaner holes, pair the rotary hammer with a compatible dust extraction system or vacuum attachment. Store the bit in a dry place and protect the carbide tip from impact to maintain performance.
