The Richard JRP-1 is a straight shank masonry drill bit designed for professional use in 3-jaw chuck drills, suitable for both rotary and hammer drilling applications. It features a diamond ground tungsten carbide tip, which is copper brazed for enhanced durability and heat resistance up to 1,800 degrees Fahrenheit. Tungsten carbide provides exceptional hardness and wear resistance, maintaining a sharp cutting edge for extended tool life when drilling into challenging materials like brick, concrete, cinder block, stone, tile, and marble. The bit is manufactured with a 15-degree negative grind to reduce carbide chipping and produced according to ANSI standards (B212.15) to ensure proper hole tolerance. Its special flute design rapidly removes dust and debris, preventing overheating and breakage. This drill bit measures 1/8 inch in cutting diameter, 3 inches in overall length, and has a 1/8 inch shank diameter.
