Freud PMAPC1030 Masonry Drill Bit 3/16 X 4 Inches 5-pack

Product Description

The FREUD PMAPC1030 is a carbide-tipped masonry drill bit designed for drilling into brick, block, and similar masonry substrates. Sized at 3/16 inches in diameter and 4 inches in length, this bit features a brazed carbide tip for extended wear resistance in abrasive materials. Dual flutes channel dust and debris out of the hole during drilling, improving cut quality and reducing bit bind. This SKU is sold as a 5-pack, making it a practical choice for contractors and tradespeople who run through masonry bits regularly on job sites.

This bit is suited for residential and light commercial applications where drilling into concrete block, brick veneer, mortar joints, or similar masonry is required. Typical uses include anchor and fastener pilot holes, conduit penetrations through block walls, and fixture mounting in masonry construction. The 3/16-inch diameter is a common size for sleeve anchors and light-duty masonry fasteners. This bit is rated for use with standard rotary drills only and must not be used in hammer or SDS mode.

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard rotary-mode drills when drilling into brick, concrete block, and similar masonry materials. Not intended for use with rotary hammer or SDS-style tools.

Installation Notes

Masonry drilling should be performed by qualified tradespeople following applicable site safety protocols. Confirm the drill is set to rotary mode only before use — engaging hammer mode with this bit can cause tip damage or bit failure. Eye protection and dust control measures are recommended when drilling masonry, in accordance with OSHA general industry standards. Allow the bit to cool periodically during extended drilling to preserve tip integrity.
