Metallics BFR14 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size hole does the Metallics BFR14 masonry bit drill, and will it fit a standard 3/8 inch chuck drill?
The BFR14 cuts a 5/16 inch diameter hole and has a 1/4 inch round shank, so it chucks into any 3/8 inch or larger keyed or keyless drill chuck without an adapter.
2) Can I use the Metallics BFR14 in a rotary hammer with an SDS chuck?
No. The BFR14 is a straight 1/4 inch round shank bit, not an SDS or SDS-Plus shank, so it will not lock into a rotary hammer chuck. Run it in a standard rotary or hammer-drill chuck, or choose an SDS-Plus bit if your tool only takes SDS.
3) Is the Metallics BFR14 masonry bit meant for concrete and block, or for metal and wood?
It is a carbide-tipped masonry bit with a slow spiral flute, built for concrete, block, brick, and mortar. Carbide tip plus slow spiral handles the dust and impact of hammer drilling in masonry. For steel use a twist drill in HSS or cobalt, and for wood use a brad point or auger.
4) What part number do I order for the Metallics 5/16 inch carbide masonry bit?
Order Metallics part number BFR14. That is the 5/16 inch diameter, 1/4 inch shank carbide slow spiral masonry bit.
5) Which anchors does a 5/16 inch masonry drill bit pair with for electrical strut and box mounting?
A 5/16 inch hole is the standard drill size for 1/4 inch sleeve, wedge, and drop-in style masonry anchors, which is the common size for hanging strut, straps, and boxes on concrete walls and decks. Confirm the hole diameter printed on your anchor's packaging, since some 1/4 inch screw anchors call for a smaller bit.
6) How many bits come in the Metallics BFR14, and how is it packaged?
One bit per order, supplied in a pouch. If you are drilling a run of anchor holes on a commercial job, order multiples rather than expecting a set.
