Metallics BFRB12 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size hole does the Metallics BFRB12 masonry bit drill, and how deep can it go?
The BFRB12 is a 1/4 inch diameter carbide-tipped masonry bit with a 4 inch overall length. Because the overall length includes the shank held in the chuck, usable hole depth is less than 4 inches, so it suits typical anchor embedments in concrete, block and brick rather than deep through-drilling of a thick wall. For deeper holes in poured concrete you want a longer bit in the same diameter.
2) Why would an electrical contractor buy masonry bits 100 at a time?
Carbide masonry bits are a consumable on electrical work, strapping conduit, mounting boxes, straps and brackets to block and concrete, and a 1/4 inch bit dulls fast in hard aggregate. The BFRB12 ships 100 bits in a pouch, which is how a crew buys them for repeat anchoring on a job rather than one bit at a time. Metallics catalogues it as an electrical supply fastening item for exactly that use.
3) Is the Metallics BFRB12 a hammer drill bit or a rotary bit, and will it cut steel or wood?
It is a carbide-tipped masonry bit, intended for concrete, block, brick and mortar. The carbide tip is brazed for percussive work, so it runs in a hammer drill as well as straight rotary. It is not a bit for steel or for clean holes in wood, use HSS or a twist/brad point bit for those. Hitting rebar with a 1/4 inch masonry bit will usually kill the tip.
4) How do I order the Metallics 1/4 inch by 4 inch masonry bit, and is there more than one version?
One part number covers it: Metallics BFRB12, the 1/4 inch by 4 inch carbide masonry bit, sold as a 100 piece pouch. There are no finish, length or diameter options to pick on this part, so BFRB12 is the whole order.
