What size hole will a #10 auger bit bore?
Don’t let it throw you, though. The number simply refers to the bit diameter in 16ths of an inch. So, a bit marked 10 would be 10⁄ 16 “, or 5⁄ 8 “. Most augers self-feed with a screw tip.
What is the diameter of SDS max shank?
18 mm
The diameter of an SDS and SDS Plus shank is 10 millimeters. The SDS Max is larger with an 18 mm shank diameter, while the SDS Quick has a smaller 6 mm shank diameter. The SDS shank has the advantage of fitting into a simple spring-loaded chuck, so that bits are simply pushed into the chuck without tightening.
What size is SDS Max?
The shortest SDS-plus masonry drill bits are about 110 mm overall length, and the longest 1500 mm. SDS-max is more common for larger rotary hammers and chipping guns, and common sizes start at 1⁄2 inch (13 mm) diameter up to 1 3⁄4 inches (44 mm) diameter. Standard lengths are 12 to 21 inches (300 to 530 mm).
Are SDS and SDS Max interchangeable?
SDS and SDS Plus are interchangeable. The difference is that SDS Plus have 4 splines in the shank that hold it more securely. Both are 10mm shank size. SDS Max is 18mm shank size, so SDS Max bits are not interchangeable with SDS or SDS Plus.
