Do I need a special bit for this drill? Drilling through concrete block hanging a curtain rod on a porch. The size I need is 1/8".

Any standard bit will work in this. It comes with a special tool to take bits on and off.

You should use a masonry bit when you drill into concrete, brick or mortar.

It comes with a Philip and Flat Tip combination drill bit. You can use that as a sample to get the right size you want.

All you should need is a good bi-metallic drill bit. I had not problem, just make sure you use a small center punch to make a dimple so the drill bit does not walk and ruin the finish. Just a small dimple don't go overboard and make a big one.

No. But the required size I believe is somewhere in the Amazon spec or in other reviews (forgot ... it's been a year). Then you can go to Wikipedia looking for drill bit (standard) sizes and it equates the bit# to the fractional inch size. The size recommended works just great. But no, it does not come with a bit.

Yes , I use a sds 24 and a 12 inch 3/8 masonary bit occasionally in my line of work. I wouldn't use it as sds drill all the time, it's not made for that.

I would double check the size of your drill bit. I used a 5/16 and had no problem. If this don't work use a scrap piece of pvc and work your way up in bit sizes until you find one that works. Good luck

I use a 3/8" drill bit when drilling my hole. I believe the inside diameter of the hole is the same or very slightly smaller. Hope this helps! :o)

It's like a regular drill bit, will fit a 3/8 inch drill, but I wouldn't buy it unless you are drilling into loose soil. The shaft will strip and then just spin around in the drill.

I am doing the exact same thing to make poles for deck railing. How did this work out? A vice would be necessary. Did you get one ? if so what one would a person suggest ? I am drilling 75 poles. with a total of 2 1/2" holes and 11 1/8th" holes. Would this do the job ?

For drilling in concrete with any regularity, get yourself a Hilti TE1 or TE2 SDS rotary hammer drill. You will be a lot happier. On the other hand, cinder blocks are pretty soft, and you could get away with chucking in a concrete bit and firing away. Hope this helps.

The size you have that's close to,but under 1/2 inch. This will also help in not splitting the wood. If you have a 3/8 wood bore bit that's the best

My husband measured the bit he will be using to drill the holes for my pulls, and he said it takes a 5/32 drill bit, or if you want the hole a little larger, use 11/64 bit size. Hope this helps!

I have a regular Ryobi drill and it works great(not impact). It uses a 1/4" hex bit

This is a very special bit, it is not part of the bit selection which comes with the drill. You can find it at http://www.mscdirect.com/product/details/71206916 (as an example, other places online would probably have them)

long as you have the right bit. It's not a hammer drill but you can drill small holes ect into masonry and all with a masonry bit.

No, you will need special drill bits for this attachment. 1/4 inch hex drive

sure they are just 1/4 inch small shank drill bits. Just start out slow and brace it well to get it started or you can sorta angle it to geta cut going Put some water where you want to cut too.they are easy to use maybe take a practice cut on a scrap tile or sumthin
