Metallics BFR25 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size hole does the Metallics BFR25 masonry bit drill, and will it fit my 1/2 inch chuck?
The BFR25 cuts a 7/8 inch diameter hole and has a reduced 1/2 inch shank, so it runs in any 1/2 inch chuck rotary drill rather than requiring a larger tool. Overall it is a 6 inch bit, which limits how deep you can go once you account for the portion held in the chuck.
2) Is the Metallics BFR25 a hammer-drill SDS bit or a straight shank bit?
It is a straight 1/2 inch round shank carbide bit, not an SDS or spline drive. It chucks into a standard 1/2 inch rotary or hammer drill with a keyed chuck. If your tool is SDS-plus or SDS-max only, this bit will not mount in it.
3) What is a slow spiral carbide masonry bit good for on an electrical rough-in?
Slow spiral flutes clear dust more gradually and give the bit more body strength, which suits concrete, block and brick where a 7/8 inch hole is being drilled for anchors, conduit sleeves or strut fasteners. The carbide tip is what does the cutting in masonry; the same bit is not intended for steel or wood.
4) Will a 7/8 inch bit drill the right hole for a 3/4 inch wedge anchor?
Yes for most sleeve-style and wedge anchors sized by bolt diameter, the carbide BFR25 at 7/8 inch matches anchors that call for a 7/8 inch nominal hole. Always drill to the hole diameter printed on the anchor packaging rather than the anchor's bolt size, since the two are not always the same number.
5) Does the Metallics BFR25 come as a set or a single bit?
One bit per order. The BFR25 ships as a single piece in a pouch, so if you need spares on a long concrete run, order the quantity you want up front.
