Metallics BFRB16 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size hole does the Metallics BFRB16 masonry drill bit make, and how deep can it go?
The BFRB16 is a carbide-tipped masonry bit with a 3/8 inch cutting diameter and an overall length of 4 inches, so usable hole depth is shorter than 4 inches once you account for the shank in the chuck. For a 3/8 inch anchor that needs to seat deeper than that, you need a longer bit in the same diameter.
2) Will a 3/8 inch carbide masonry bit work in a standard drill, or do I need a rotary hammer?
The BFRB16 is a round-shank carbide masonry bit, not an SDS bit, so it chucks into a standard three-jaw keyed or keyless drill chuck. It will not fit an SDS-Plus or SDS-Max rotary hammer, which take a slotted shank. For heavy concrete work on an SDS hammer you need an SDS-shank bit instead.
3) How many masonry bits come in a pack of Metallics BFRB16?
They ship 50 pieces to a pouch, which is a consumable quantity rather than a single-bit purchase. That suits an electrical or MRO crew drilling concrete, block or brick repeatedly for 3/8 inch anchors, where bits dull and get replaced on the job.
4) What anchors does a 3/8 inch masonry bit drill for?
A 3/8 inch hole is the standard drill size for 3/8 inch sleeve anchors, wedge anchors and drop-in style anchors used to hang strut, conduit racks and equipment on concrete or block. Match the bit diameter to the anchor diameter called out by the anchor maker, which for 3/8 inch mechanical anchors is a 3/8 inch carbide bit like the BFRB16.
5) What is the part number to order the Metallics 3/8 inch by 4 inch masonry bit?
Order it as Metallics BFRB16. That single model covers the 3/8 inch diameter, 4 inch carbide masonry drill in the 50-piece pouch; there are no finish or size options to specify.
