Electrical / Demolition Bits - SDS Max

SDS Max demolition bits are built for heavy breaking and chiselling work where standard accessories will not last. They are designed to handle high-impact force when working through concrete, brick, and stone.

The 18mm SDS Max shank allows solid power transfer from larger rotary hammers and breakers. This means more energy reaches the tip with each strike. An SDS chisel bit in this format is made for demanding jobs where material needs to be removed quickly and consistently.

Heavy-Duty Structural Breakout and Surface Prep

On site, SDS Max demolition bits are used anywhere material needs to be broken out or stripped back.

They are commonly used for removing concrete slabs, opening up walls, and breaking through masonry during renovations. In civil and electrical work, they are used to trench through hard surfaces to access services below.

They also come into play when stripping tiles, removing render, or cleaning down surfaces before new work begins. The high-impact action makes it easier to break through dense material without relying on cutting alone.

In demolition work, that extra force is what keeps the job moving. The right SDS chisel bit helps reduce time on each section and keeps the process more controlled.

SDS Max demolition bits are often used alongside SDS Plus drill bits, concrete saws, M class vacuum cleaner dust extractors, and H class vacuum cleaner dust extractors when preparing or clearing work areas.

Bit Geometry and Steel Composition

Different bit shapes suit different types of work.

Pointed chisels are used to break and fracture hard material. Flat chisels are better for general removal and shaping. Wide scaling chisels cover more surface area, which makes them useful for removing tiles, adhesive, or render.

Most SDS Max demolition bits are made from high-grade alloy steel. This helps them handle constant impact without losing strength. Heat treatment processes also improve durability and help the bit resist wear.

Some designs include self-sharpening profiles. These help maintain performance over time by reducing the need for frequent reworking. A well-designed SDS chisel bit will keep cutting effectively even after extended use.

Shank Lubrication and Tip Maintenance

Looking after the bit helps maintain performance and extends its life.

• Apply grease to the SDS Max shank before use

• Check for mushrooming at the tip

• Watch for signs of overheating or discolouration

• Keep locking grooves clean

• Use the correct bit length for the job

Lubrication reduces wear between the bit and the tool holder. It also helps prevent binding during operation.

Over time, the tip can deform or blunt. Catching this early helps avoid further damage and keeps the tool working efficiently.

Using the right bit length also matters. A bit that is too long can introduce extra vibration, which affects both control and tool life.

FAQs

What distinguishes an SDS Max shank from an SDS Plus fitting?

SDS Max uses a larger shank for heavier tools and higher impact force.

When should I use a point chisel versus a flat chisel?

Point chisels break material. Flat chisels are better for shaping and removal.

Are these bits compatible with all large rotary hammers?

They fit tools designed for SDS Max systems.

What is the benefit of a self-sharpening chisel?

It helps maintain cutting performance over time.

How does a wide scaler help with surface removal?

It covers more area, which speeds up bulk removal.

Should I grease the bit shank before use?

Yes, it helps reduce wear and improves operation.

Can these bits be used for drilling?

No, they are designed for percussion work only.

What causes a bit to discolour or turn blue?

Excessive heat can affect the steel temper.

Are there bits suited to different materials?

Yes, some are better for asphalt, others for reinforced concrete.

How do I remove a jammed bit safely?

Release the chuck and carefully work the bit free once the tool has cooled.
