Metallics BFRB58 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size hole does the Metallics BFRB58 masonry bit drill, and how deep can it go?
The BFRB58 is a 5/8 inch diameter carbide-tipped masonry drill bit with a 6 inch overall length. Usable hole depth is less than the full 6 inches, since the shank length sits in the chuck, so plan your anchor embedment against the flute length rather than the overall figure.
2) Is the Metallics BFRB58 bit sold individually or in a bulk pack?
It comes 40 bits to a pouch, not as a single bit. That bulk count suits an electrical contractor or MRO crib drilling repeat 5/8 inch holes for anchors and sleeves, but if you only need one hole, this pack is more bit than the job calls for.
3) Does the Metallics BFRB58 fit an SDS rotary hammer?
No. The BFRB58 is a straight-shank carbide masonry bit, so it chucks into a standard keyed or keyless drill chuck or a hammer drill with a three-jaw chuck. An SDS-Plus or SDS-Max rotary hammer needs a bit with the matching SDS shank, which this is not.
4) Will a 5/8 inch carbide masonry bit work in concrete, block and brick?
Carbide-tipped masonry bits like the BFRB58 are made for concrete, concrete block, brick and mortar. They are not intended for steel, tile or wood. Run them with hammer action or rotary percussion for concrete; straight rotary drilling in hard cured concrete dulls a carbide tip fast.
5) Is a 5/8 inch masonry bit the right choice for drilling through a block wall for conduit?
For a 5/8 inch hole, yes, and that is a common size for sleeving small anchors or running a single small-diameter wire. For passing EMT or rigid conduit through masonry you need a larger opening than 5/8 inch, so step up to a core bit or a larger-diameter masonry bit sized to the conduit OD plus clearance.
