Why a Masonry Bit Drills Slowly

Slow drilling can come from a worn tip, wrong hammer mode, excessive dust or a bit that does not suit the material.

Concrete & Masonry Tools: selection checklist

  • Confirm the hammer and shank system.
  • Clear dust from the hole.
  • Replace worn bits and use the correct impact mode.

How to choose the right option

  1. Stop and inspect the tool, workpiece and machine interface.
  2. Correct the size, geometry, setup or cutting condition involved.
  3. Run a controlled test and inspect the result before returning to production.
