Frequently Asked Questions

How deep can a 160mm working length drill?

The 160mm working length is the fluted cutting section, so the bit drills holes up to 160mm deep. That covers standard anchor depths and most wall fixing jobs, and it reaches through render or plaster into the block behind in one pass.

What is a 6.5mm masonry drill used for?

A 6.5mm SDS masonry bit drills the fixing hole for wall plugs and small anchors that need a 6.5mm hole, common in brick and block work for shelving and light brackets.

Is the 160mm working length enough for most jobs?

Yes, 160mm covers standard anchor depths and most wall fixing jobs. It also reaches through thick mortar and plaster. For deeper work, the D614 series offers a 210mm working length.

How do I drill a clean hole in brick?

Let the hammer action and carbide tip do the work with a steady, light feed. Do not push hard; the self centering point holds the bit on the mark and the flute clears the dust.

Can I use this bit on granite?

Yes. Sutton lists granite among the materials the D613 is built for. Granite is hard and slow work, so use a steady feed and let the carbide tip cut rather than forcing the bit.
