What is differences between SDS Plus and SDS Max drill bit?
What is an SDS drill bit? It's a specialised bit designed for rotary hammers, featuring a unique shank that allows for quick changes and improved performance in various materials. Two main types exist: SDS Plus and SDS Max.
1.Shank Diameter: Approximately 10 mm (3/8 inch)
2.Shank Design: Has 4 grooves (2 open and 2 closed) on the shank, which allows for a secure grip in the chuck. It is smaller and more commonly used in light- to medium-duty applications.
3.Compatibility: Fits into SDS Plus rotary hammer drills, which are typically used for lighter tasks.
4.Drilling Capacity: The SDS Plus drill bit is suitable for drilling smaller holes (typically 4mm to 30mm in diameter) in materials such as concrete, brick, masonry and light demolition work. It is used in lighter rotary hammers and is designed for general use including domestic and light construction tasks.
5.Cost: Since they are smaller and used for lighter jobs, they are generally priced lower. The tools and accessories associated with SDS Plus are also usually more affordable.
1.Shank Diameter: Approximately 18 mm (11/16 inch).
2.Shank Design: Has 5 grooves (3 open and 2 closed), providing a more robust connection for larger tools.
3.Compatibility: Designed for SDS Max rotary hammer drills, used for heavy-duty applications like drilling larger holes or chiseling through tough materials.
4.Drilling Capacity:The SDS Max drill bit is ideal for drilling larger holes (typically 12mm to 50mm or larger) in harder materials such as reinforced concrete or for chiseling holes. It is designed for heavy duty rotary hammer drilling and is used in professional construction, heavy demolition work and industrial tasks.
5.Cost:Due to their larger size and heavy-duty tasks, they come with a higher price tag. SDS Max drill bits tend to be a larger investment and are used in more professional work environments.
Summary:
SDS Plus is designed for light to medium-duty tasks with smaller rotary hammers, typically used for drilling smaller holes and lighter demolition.
SDS Max is intended for heavy-duty tasks with larger rotary hammers, used for drilling larger holes and more demanding applications like chiseling and breaking concrete.
Your choice between SDS Plus and SDS Max should depend on the scale and difficulty of the job
