Drill Bit Bosch 2 608 597 523 Length 65 mm

The Bosch 2 608 597 523 drill bit, length 65 mm, is a sheet metal cone drill bit with a hex shank designed for precision drilling in thin metal materials. Manufactured by Bosch for power tool accessories, this bit is intended for use with compatible drills that accept hex shanks and is suitable for tasks requiring controlled hole enlargement and accurate positioning.

Advantages

This 65 mm Bosch cone drill bit features a hex shank for secure grip in chucks and quick bit changes. The geometry of the cone tip enables precise center drilling and gradual hole enlargement, reducing the risk of material distortion. Built to Bosch quality standards, the bit offers consistent performance for repetitive sheet metal operations.

Suitable for

• Drilling and enlarging holes in sheet metal and thin metal panels
• Creating pilot holes for rivets and fasteners
• Use with handheld drills and impact drivers that accept 1/4" hex shanks

How to use

Insert the hex shank into the drill chuck or quick-change adapter until it locks securely.

Start drilling at a perpendicular angle to ensure accurate entry, and allow the cone geometry to gradually open the hole. Retract occasionally to clear chips if necessary.

Recommendations

Use cutting lubricant when working with tougher metals to reduce heat and prolong bit life. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses and gloves. Verify compatibility with your drill and avoid excessive lateral force to prevent breakage and workpiece damage.
