Drill bit Bosch 2608836631, 6 mm diameter, metal and wood drilling

Bosch 6 mm drill bit model 2608836631 is a straight-shank twist bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal and wood. Intended for use with corded and cordless hand drills and drill drivers, this 6 mm bit produces clean, accurate holes for installation, repair and assembly tasks where a standard twist drill geometry is appropriate.

Advantages

The drill bit offers consistent 6 mm hole diameter and straight-shank compatibility with common chucks, enabling quick bit changes and stable operation. Its twist-flute design promotes chip evacuation during drilling in wood and many metal types, and the hardened cutting edges maintain shape for repeatable precision. The compact 6 mm size is versatile for fastening, dowelling and pilot holes.

Suitable for

• Drilling through soft and hard woods for joinery and installation
• Creating pilot holes for screws and bolts in metal and wood
• Light to medium metal fabrication where standard twist bits are used
• General repair, mounting and assembly tasks with handheld drills

Key specifications

• Diameter: 6 mm
• Tip and flute type: straight twist flute for chip removal
• Shank style: straight round shank for standard drill chucks
• Intended materials: metal and wood
• Typical applications: drilling, pilot holes, fastening preparation

How to use

Fit the 6 mm drill bit securely in the drill chuck and tighten according to the drill manufacturer's instructions. Select a drilling speed appropriate to the material: slower speeds for metals and higher speeds for softer woods. Apply steady, moderate pressure and keep the drill perpendicular to the workpiece for accurate hole alignment. Withdraw periodically when drilling deeper holes to clear chips and avoid overheating.

Recommendations

Use cutting lubricant or coolant when drilling harder metals to extend bit life. For increased accuracy when starting holes in metal or on smooth wood surfaces, use a center punch or pilot mark. Inspect the cutting edges before use and replace the bit if excessively worn or chipped.
