Metallics BFR10 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size hole does the Metallics BFR10 masonry bit drill, and what anchor does that suit?
The BFR10 is a 1/8 inch diameter carbide masonry bit. A 1/8 inch hole in concrete, brick or block is the size used for the smallest plastic anchors and masonry screws, so it is the bit you reach for when fastening light items like low-voltage clips, straps and small device brackets rather than structural anchors.
2) Will the BFR10 masonry bit fit my cordless drill chuck?
Yes. The BFR10 has a 3/32 inch round shank, so it seats in any standard keyless or keyed three-jaw chuck. It is not an SDS or SDS-Plus bit, so it will not go into a rotary hammer that only takes SDS shanks.
3) Is a slow spiral carbide bit the right choice for drilling concrete, or should I use a regular twist bit?
Use the carbide slow spiral. The BFR10 has a carbide tip that crushes its way through concrete, brick and block, and the slow (wide) spiral flute clears coarse masonry dust without packing the hole. A standard HSS twist bit for steel or wood will dull almost immediately in masonry. For wood or sheet metal, use the twist bit instead.
4) Does the Metallics BFR10 come as a single bit or in a multi-pack?
One bit per order. The BFR10 ships as a single piece in a pouch, so if you are stocking a van or standardizing a crew, order the quantity you need rather than expecting a set of sizes.
5) Can I use the BFR10 in a hammer drill setting?
Yes, hammer mode is how a carbide-tipped masonry bit is meant to be run in concrete or brick. Keep it in rotation-only mode for soft block or tile edges to avoid chipping. Bear in mind this is a 1/8 inch bit with a 3/32 inch shank, so the shank is thin, and heavy side load or leverage is what breaks bits this small.
6) What is the Metallics part number to order for a 1/8 inch masonry bit?
Order Metallics BFR10. That is the manufacturer part number for the 1/8 inch diameter carbide slow spiral masonry bit with the 3/32 inch shank, sold one per pouch.
