One way to make sure that you’re delivering the right product for the trades is to take ownership of the manufacturing process and that’s certainly what Bosch Professional Power Tools has done with its accessories. Indeed, what distinguishes this German industrial giant from its competitors is that it makes its own carbide technology in-house. The use of a combination of titanium and cobalt carbide ensures maximum precision and a longer lifetime, whilst the different grades available make each drill bit or blade perfectly suited to that application.
The benefits, however, don’t stop there. Bosch Professional Accessories’ SDS Max-8X drill bits are part of the Expert range, can be used on any SDS Max machine and, as the name would suggest, deliver a premium performance. A solid full carbide 4-cutter head provides outstanding durability in heavy-duty drilling applications. In fact, Bosch promises that its drill bits will enjoy a 50% longer lifetime versus a standard SDS Max drill bit with a standard embedded and brazed tip, which equals real value for money for tradespeople.
Trade professionals have learnt the hard way that inferior accessories – which will break on the job and need replacing– are a false economy. Consider the Bosch Professional Accessories’ Expert range in terms of cost per drill and the inevitable conclusion will be that they are cost effective and well worth the investment.
The end user can drill into reinforced concrete and, if you were to hit rebar, it won’t snag. Moreover, unique diffusion welding technology creates a stronger bond between the steel body and the carbide tip of the drill bit. That has the effect of dampening the impact on high stress areas offering increased levels of heat resistance.
It’s not just durability that makes these accessories a winner either, because a wider and sharper pyramid shaped tip attacks the material much more aggressively. Four symmetrical, 90 degree cutters allows for faster and more precise drilling, which will ultimately improve the finish.
New additions to the Expert range include the SDS Plus and SDS Max Hollow Drill Bits for dustless drilling. They are called SDS Clean, and are the ideal drill bits when using chemical anchors. The major health and safety benefits of reduced levels of airborne dust are complemented by the productivity improvements associated with eliminating the need to constantly remove material from the hole.
