ARTU Werkzeuge GmbH was founded in Dortmund with the aim of developing drill bits that withstand extreme heat and wear. The company's flagship product, the multi-purpose drill bit (Universal Drill Bit), revolutionised the market with its ability to drill almost any material without changing bits. This is possible thanks to a unique brazed joint between special steel and a tungsten carbide tip that withstands over 1,000°C.
Today ARTU is synonymous with problem-solving on construction sites and in industry. Whether it is an extra-hard porcelain tile or a cast-iron pipe, ARTU's patented cutting and drilling solutions give professionals the tools to finish the job when conventional HSS or masonry bits fail.
The legendary universal drill bit that replaces several specialist bits. It drills hardened steel, concrete, granite and wood with the same bit.
Designed specifically for the hardest porcelain and ceramic tiles (up to hardness class 9). Drills cleanly without cracking.
Jigsaw blades with carbide grit. They cut materials that blunt toothed blades immediately.
When drilling hardened steel, you must use a high speed (approx. 2,000 rpm) and enough pressure for the bit to 'eat' into the material through friction. Do not use hammer action on metal. It is normal for the drilling point to get hot.
Yes. Because the bit is hard carbide throughout, it can be sharpened with a silicon carbide grinding wheel (green stone). Sharpening extends the bit's service life considerably.
ARTU Universal bits are suitable for hammer drilling in masonry (concrete, granite, brick). When drilling metals, glass or ceramic tiles, the hammer function must be switched off.
Although the bit withstands heat, glass is sensitive to thermal shock. We recommend using water or turpentine for cooling when drilling glass to get the best result.
