A steel collar on each bit marks the precise depth of the hole. Once the collar is flush with the concrete surface, the correct depth is reached.
Bosch offers a complete line of five carbide-tipped steel bits that include 3/8-, ½- and 5/8-inch sizes. Depths range from 13/16- to 2 1/16-inch. The size and depth range of the products accommodates more than 80 percent of all requirements for drop-in anchors. The size and depth combinations prevent over-drilling and drilling into rebar, which allows the professional user to install drop-in anchors properly and securely. The bits take the place of the manual depth gauge on rotary hammers, a feature many users disable. Drill bit maximum speed is 1,100 rpm.
