Metallics BFR2 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What hole size does the Metallics BFR2 masonry bit drill?
The BFR2 drills a 3/16 inch diameter hole in masonry. That is the size you want for anchors and fasteners specified for a 3/16 inch hole, such as small sleeve or screw-type masonry anchors sized to that bore. Carbide tipped, so it is cutting brick, block, and concrete rather than steel or wood.
2) What does slow spiral mean on a masonry drill bit, and when should I use it instead of a fast spiral bit?
Slow spiral means a shallower flute helix. It leaves more carbide and steel behind the cutting edge, which holds up better in hard, abrasive material like poured concrete and brick, at the cost of slower dust evacuation. The BFR2 is a slow spiral carbide bit. Fast spiral geometry clears chips quicker and suits softer block or deeper holes where dust packing is the limiting factor.
3) Can I use the BFR2 masonry bit to drill through steel studs or wood?
No. It is a carbide tipped masonry bit, ground for brick, block, and concrete. The tip geometry on a masonry bit scrapes rather than cuts, so it will dull quickly and wander in steel and will tear wood. Use a twist drill or step bit for metal and a brad point or auger for wood.
4) Is the Metallics BFR2 sold individually or in a multi-pack?
One bit per pouch. The BFR2 ships as a single piece in a pouch pack, so if you are stocking a van or a facility crib for repeat 3/16 inch anchor work you will want to order the quantity you need rather than expecting a bulk tube or case.
