WHAT IS THEIR CARBIDE TECHNOLOGY ADVANTAGE?


Bosch Carbide Technology enhances accessory Durability resulting in a much longer lifetime compared to other products.
Bosch Carbide accessories are developed for applications with the Toughest work materials.

A Bosch Carbide accessory is also:

  • able to cut more materials with ease - including ones that were not possible before,
  • hard, unbreakable and heat resistant,
  • faster than blades out of other material (including Diamond, in the rights material) for the blades range.

CARBIDE Drill bit - SDS max-8X


How is carbide applied? The carbide drill head is welded onto the drill bit. This ensures a strong and long lasting bond between the full carbide head and the spiral steel body.

What are the advantages of Bosch carbide?

  • LONG LIFETIME versus SDS-max drill bits with standard embedded and brazed tips
  • Outstanding durability in heavy duty drilling applications (e.g. in reinforced concrete)
  • Full Carbide 4-cutter head (head up to 32mm) - only available from Bosch

+  For which target group and material?

  • All heavy application professionals including,
  • Construction specialists (e.g. reinforcing iron and rebar workers, industrial electricians, HVAC installers, etc.),
  • Material: concrete, steel reinforced concrete.
