Reliable Concrete & Masonry Drilling for Trade Work
Need a masonry drill bit that matches the job rather than simply fitting the chuck? Bremick Masonry Drill Bits give builders, installers, concreters & maintenance crews carbide drilling options for concrete, brick, blockwork & compatible masonry materials.
Across the broader Bremick carbide range, you'll find SDS Plus & SDS Max drill bits, 2 Cutter & 3 Cutter configurations plus diameters from 5–42 mm. This makes it easier to choose around the rotary hammer you're using, the size of hole required & the depth of drilling ahead.
Before ordering, check the material, your rotary hammer's SDS connection, required diameter & working depth. For anchor installations, use the fixing manufacturer's drilling requirements to confirm the correct hole size rather than relying on the anchor diameter alone.
Pair your bits with suitable Hammer Drills or browse Drill Accessories when setting up for ongoing concrete & masonry work.
What Are Bremick Masonry Drill Bits?
Made specifically for hard mineral materials, Bremick Masonry Drill Bits use carbide cutting geometry to drill concrete, brick, blockwork & compatible masonry with a suitable rotary hammer.
During drilling, the cutting head works into the material while the flute provides a pathway for debris to move back through the hole. This combination makes masonry bits fundamentally different from conventional drill bits intended primarily for timber or metal.
For everyday construction & installation work, SDS Plus options are commonly paired with compatible light to medium-duty rotary hammers. Typical jobs include drilling for brackets, fixtures, services, anchors & general building installations.
Heavier drilling can call for SDS Max, which uses a larger, different tool-holder interface found on compatible rotary hammers. SDS Plus & SDS Max aren't interchangeable, so always confirm which system your machine accepts before buying.
Bremick also offers 2 Cutter & 3 Cutter configurations. Rather than choosing purely by cutter count, consider the material, required hole, drilling depth & machine you're working with.

Why Choose Bremick Masonry Drill Bits?
A good result starts with a bit suited to both the machine & the material. That's particularly important when you're drilling holes for anchors, brackets or equipment where diameter, depth & positioning can affect the installation that follows.
Depending on the selected bit, Bremick's broader carbide masonry range includes:
► SDS Plus & SDS Max options
► 2 Cutter & 3 Cutter configurations
► Carbide cutting geometry
► Self-centring tip design
► Reinforced flute geometry
► Multiple diameters & drilling lengths
► Options for different concrete & masonry applications
Where accurate starting position matters, a self-centring tip can be useful for repeated fixing points, mounting layouts, brackets & fixtures.
As drilling progresses, reinforced flute geometry helps provide a pathway for loosened material to move away from the cutting area. Carbide cutting material is also suited to the abrasive conditions encountered in concrete & masonry drilling.
For crews completing repeated holes, having the correct diameter, length & SDS fitting ready can make a meaningful difference to workflow. Instead of trying to make one masonry bit cover every task, select the bit around the actual hole you're there to drill.
Common Applications
From a handful of bracket holes to repeated site installations, Bremick Masonry Drill Bits suit a broad range of professional drilling work.
Common applications include:
► Concrete drilling
► Brick & blockwork drilling
► Concrete anchor-hole preparation
► Mechanical anchor installations
► Chemical anchor preparation
► Bracket & fixture installation
► Equipment mounting
► Electrical supports & services
► Plumbing supports & penetrations
► HVAC installations
► Commercial fit-outs
► General building work
► Concrete & masonry fastening
► Industrial maintenance
Fixing work deserves extra care because the finished hole becomes part of the installation. Before drilling, confirm the required diameter & depth for the anchor you're using.

Product Selection Guide
Start With the Material
Concrete, brick & blockwork don't all drill the same way.
Dense concrete can place substantial abrasive & impact demands on the cutting head. Brick can vary in hardness, age & condition while masonry blocks may be solid or hollow. Identifying the base material first helps you choose a more appropriate drilling setup.
For anchor installations, the substrate matters twice: once when selecting the drilling equipment & again when confirming that the fixing itself is suitable for the base material.
Check Your SDS Connection
Take a look at the rotary hammer before comparing drill-bit sizes.
SDS Plus bits require a compatible SDS Plus tool holder while SDS Max bits are designed for compatible SDS Max machines. They are different connection systems & shouldn't be selected purely because the diameter or length looks right.
Checking the machine first is a simple way to avoid ordering a bit that won't fit the tool on site.
Choose the Correct Diameter
Hole diameter becomes particularly important when the drilling is being done for an anchor or specified fixing.
Use the drill-hole diameter stated for the exact fixing you're installing. Don't assume that the nominal size printed on the anchor automatically represents the drill-bit diameter required.
For general-purpose holes, choose the diameter around the clearance or penetration the job calls for.
Check How Deep You Need to Drill
Diameter isn't the only measurement that matters.
A bit also needs enough usable working length to reach the required depth. This is worth checking carefully for deeper anchor holes, concrete penetrations, larger fixtures & installations with defined embedment requirements.
Overall bit length & usable drilling length aren't necessarily the same measurement, so check the product specification before ordering.
Compare 2 Cutter & 3 Cutter Options
Both configurations have a place in masonry drilling.
When comparing available Bremick bits, consider the material, hole diameter, drilling depth, rotary hammer & type of installation rather than treating cutter count as a simple measure of which bit is better.
The right choice is the one whose complete specification suits the drilling task.
Mark & Measure Before You Drill
A powerful rotary hammer can't correct a badly positioned hole.
Brackets, equipment mounts & repeated anchor points benefit from careful marking before drilling begins. Check spacing, alignment, clearances & any project requirements before committing to the hole.

Expert Tips
Check the SDS fitting first. Confirming the connection before choosing diameter & length can save an unnecessary return or site delay.
Inspect carbide before repetitive drilling. Chipped, damaged or heavily worn cutting material can reduce drilling performance & should be dealt with before starting another run of holes.
Keep the machine aligned with the hole. Excessive sideways movement can affect drilling, particularly as the hole becomes deeper.
Let the rotary hammer provide the impact. Controlled pressure is preferable to simply leaning harder on the machine in an attempt to force the bit through.
Confirm usable depth before starting. A quick length check is much easier than discovering halfway through the hole that the bit doesn't have enough reach.
Pay attention when resistance suddenly changes. Reinforcement, voids or changes in substrate may alter how the machine feels. Follow the relevant site, project or engineering requirements where unexpected reinforcement or structural conditions are encountered.
Read the fixing instructions before drilling. Anchor systems can specify particular hole diameters, depths, cleaning procedures & installation methods. Those requirements should guide preparation of the hole.
Plan for masonry dust before the first hole. Concrete & masonry drilling can generate respirable crystalline silica, so appropriate controls & PPE should be selected for the task & work environment.
