Deltagon SDS Plus Drills redefine concrete cutting

November 2007
Bordo’s range of Deltagon SDS Plus drill bits offer outstanding performance in a wide variety of masonry drilling applications. Deltagon bits offer specific advantages over standard SDS Plus bits:
• High durability and improved drilling speed.
• Tungsten carbide head is permanently bonded to shank — not brazed. This results in extended bit life by eliminating bit failure due to excessive heat melting brazing material.
• Drills through reinforcing mesh and reinforcing bar.
• Minimised bit binding against reinforcing bar – increasing operator safety.
• Easily drills through all typical steel decking plate including Bondek®.
• Eliminates rifling - drilling holes close to perfect roundness.
• Extremely round holes result in improved fastener performance by increasing pull out loads.
• More accurate hole starting without bit walk.
• Limited circumferential wear.
• Reduced vibration minimising operator fatigue.
• Extremely hard wearing for long tool life.
• Triple thread shank for improved dust extraction.
• The Delta Shank, on small size Deltagon drills, has a triangular cross section and provides exceptional resistance to bending. The Delta Shank provides efficient dust extraction without the need for conventional flutes (sizes 6mm and smaller).
