Hammer drill bit Bosch SDS Plus-5 8 mm

The Bosch Hammer drill bit SDS Plus-5 8 mm is a masonry drill designed for use with rotary hammers that accept SDS‑plus holders. Made in Germany, this drill bit features a centring tip and a visible wear mark to help maintain accurate hole diameter for metal anchor setting. The bit is PGM-certified, indicating compliance with tight tolerances and consistent drilling performance.

Advantages

The ActiveTeq centring tip provides reliable guidance for easy starts without jarring or wandering. AWB brazing and hardening technology reduces vibration and mechanical strain during drilling, increasing user comfort and tool control. A wear mark shows whether the diameter remains within tolerance for secure fixings, and the PGM test mark verifies quality and precision.

Suitable for

• Drilling in concrete and masonry
• Preparing holes for metal anchors and fixings
• Use with SDS‑plus rotary hammers

How to use

Fit the 8 mm SDS Plus-5 bit into a compatible rotary hammer with an SDS‑plus chuck. Position the centring tip on the marked drilling point and start drilling at low speed to establish the hole. Apply steady pressure while maintaining drill alignment; the centring tip helps prevent wandering. Monitor the wear mark to ensure the drill bit still produces holes within the required diameter tolerance for metal anchors.

Recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment (eye protection, gloves, hearing protection) and follow the rotary hammer manufacturer’s instructions. Replace the drill bit when the wear mark indicates the diameter is out of tolerance or when cutting performance declines.
