Four Flute, Two-Cutter ROCK CARBIDE® SDS Plus Bits
The four flute, two-cutter ROCK CARBIDE® SDS Plus bits, ranging from 5/32" - 1 1/8", are designed for maximum durability and bit life. For increased bit life, DEWALT built the line of two-cutter ROCK CARBIDE® SDS Plus bits with a carbide tip that is 10 percent thicker than the leading competitor. It has a thicker core diameter that is three times more durable than the leading competitor. Additionally, DEWALT designed an elongated four flute helix to pull debris out of the drilled hole and increase the drilling speed.

The new four-cutter, ROCK CARBIDE® SDS Plus bits, ranging from 5/8 - 1 1/8", are designed with broader shoulders at the head of the bit for increased life. The open head design on the four-cutter allows debris to flow into the flute and out of the hole which allows it to drill 25 percent faster than the leading competitor. For increased speed the bits have also been equipped with an elongated four flute helix.
