SDS max – drilling for wedge bolts
Biff_Loman
| Posted in Tools for Home Building on
Apparently, we can’t find the right bits to use our Hitachi SDS Max hammer to drill for wedge bolts. The smallest SDS max bit we have is 3/4″.
Which means that we end up drilling a lot of 1/2″ and 5/8″ holes with our ordinary Milwaukee 1/2″ hammer drill. Blech.
Are there such things, or would we have to go to the smaller SDS plus to find the right bits?

Is it a chuck that you have to swap out, or just an adapter?

I may be missing something, but I think those should be available.

I've got a 5/8 Bosch sds max.
Home Depot stocks 1/4" and bigger SDS bits....
I just got a 1/2" sds max bit at the depot Clearance price $17.00. 03/27/09
1/2" is a very common size for sds max i have from 10" to 24" bits.
The adapter works but is not as convenient as the right bit. Good luck

you ain't looking hard enough..
Bosch and Hitachie for the max in the smaller sizes...
BTW is this a good time to mention they were clearing out the Bosch 12V LI batteries and chargers or for 10$ a set???...
