Comprehensive line of carbide-tipped rotary hammer and hammer drill bits have a number of design refinements that contribute to faster drilling, extended bit and tool life, and ease of operation.

Metabo Corporation, a leading international manufacturer of professional grade portable electric power tools, abrasives and tooling for industrial, construction and welding applications, has introduced a new, comprehensive line of carbide-tipped rotary hammer and hammer drill bits for use in a variety of concrete, masonry and stone applications.

The bits have a number of design refinements that contribute to faster drilling, extended bit and tool life, and ease of operation.

The Pro 4 uses a self-centering, chisel-shaped bit tip for rapid penetration, as well as a multifluted shaft that efficiently removes concrete dust while transferring more impact to the bit's tip.

The 2-Cutter design features a symmetrical double-fluted shaft with a reinforced linear core to improve stability and maximize power transmission.

Its narrow lands reduce friction and vibration.

The 4-Cutter design has four carbide cutting surfaces at the tip for precise drilling with the least amount of vibration and strain transferred to the tool and the operator.

Its large flute entrances and reinforced shank design ensures the fastest drilling and the longest tool life.

The bits are available in a variety of configurations.

Pro 4 is available with an SDS-Plus Shank in diameters from 5/32in to 5/8in and in working lengths from 2in to 16in.

The Pro-4 line also offers several bits designed to work with the 5/16 Condrive system.

The 2-Cutter designs are available with SDS-Plus shanks and bit diameters from 3/4in to 1in with working lengths from 6in to 16in.

2-Cutter bits are also available with straight shanks, in diameters from 1/8in to 1in and working lengths from 1-3/8in to 18in.

The 4-Cutter design is available with SDS-Plus shanks in diameters from 1-1/8in to 1-1/4in and working lengths of 8in and 16in, as well as with SDS-Max shanks and Spline shanks in diameters from 5/8in to 1-1/2in with working lengths from 7-1/2in to 18in and 5in to 17in respectively.
