Boor Smart SDS-MAX 18 mm, model 18-180540

The Smart SDS‑MAX 18 mm drill bit (model 18-180540) is designed for use with SDS‑MAX rotary hammers and delivers an 18 mm diameter hole in concrete, masonry and natural stone. This bit is intended for professional demolition and anchoring tasks where SDS‑MAX compatibility and robust drilling performance are required. It is suitable for workflows that demand secure bit retention and efficient dust removal when used with compatible rotary hammer functions.

Advantages

The SDS‑MAX shank provides secure engagement with SDS‑MAX chucks, reducing slippage during heavy-impact drilling. The 18 mm diameter is commonly used for anchor installation and medium-size through-holes in structural materials. The bit design supports efficient drilling in dense substrates, maintaining cutting stability and straightness under load. Compatibility with standard SDS‑MAX rotary hammers ensures interchangeability across professional tools.

How to use

Install the bit by inserting the SDS‑MAX shank into the rotary hammer chuck until it locks. Select the hammer-drill mode appropriate for impact drilling into concrete or masonry. Apply steady axial pressure and allow the tool’s impact action to advance the bit; avoid excessive lateral force that could deflect the bit. For deep holes, periodically withdraw the bit to clear debris and improve dust extraction. After use, remove the bit and store it in a dry place to prevent corrosion.

Recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment, including eye protection, hearing protection and dust mask or extraction where dust is present. Match drill speed and hammer setting to material hardness and follow the rotary hammer manufacturer’s guidance for SDS‑MAX accessories to ensure safe and effective operation.
