5/16 in carbide masonry bit
The Westward 6PTD9 is a straight masonry drill bit with a 5/16 in carbide tip and a 1/4 in shank. Its overall length is 6 in with a maximum drilling depth of 4 1/2 in. The bright uncoated finish suits general-purpose drilling in brick, block and concrete.
Replaces worn or smaller bits
This bit upgrades from dull or narrower masonry bits when a 5/16 in hole is required. The jump is worth it when the shank fits a 1/4 in chuck and the 4 1/2 in depth covers the fastener or anchor length. It is not for SDS-plus or SDS-max rotary hammers, nor for holes larger than 5/16 in.
Highlights
- Carbide tip drills hard masonry cleanly

Questions about this item
What chuck size does the 1/4 in shank on this 5/16 in masonry bit require?
The bit has a straight 1/4 in shank diameter, so it fits any drill chuck that accepts 1/4 in round shanks, including standard 3/8 in and 1/2 in keyed or keyless chucks.
How deep can I drill with the 6 in overall length and what step is often missed?
Maximum drilling depth is 4 1/2 in; the step people miss is clearing dust frequently so the carbide tip does not overheat and the flutes stay free to eject debris.
