Drill bit Bosch 8 mm diameter 2608833787 for metal and wood

Bosch drill bit 8 mm diameter 2608833787 is designed for general drilling tasks in materials such as metal and wood. The bit features a precision-ground tip and a hardened shank to ensure stable rotation and accurate hole placement. Its geometry balances cutting performance and chip evacuation, making it suitable for common workshop, repair and DIY activities where an 8 mm hole is required. The drill bit fits standard drill chucks and is intended for manual and powered drilling operations.

Advantages

The precision-ground tip reduces walking at startup, improving hole-centre accuracy. Hardened steel construction increases wear resistance during repeated use in metal and wood. The shank is machined for concentric rotation, which helps maintain straight holes and reduces vibration. Compatibility with standard chucks and common drills provides straightforward mounting and reliable torque transfer for general-purpose tasks.

Key specifications

• Diameter: 8 mm
• Material suitability: metal and wood
• Tip: precision-ground for reduced walking
• Shank: hardened, machined for concentricity
• Compatibility: standard drill chucks (straight shank)
• Application: general-purpose drilling for repair, assembly and installation

How to use

Secure the drill bit in the chuck of a compatible drill, ensuring the bit is fully seated and tightened. Set the drill to an appropriate speed for the material: moderate to high speeds for wood and lower speeds for metal, using cutting fluid when drilling steel. Mark the drilling position and start drilling with light pressure until the tip engages, then apply steady pressure to complete the hole. Withdraw the bit periodically when drilling deep holes to clear chips and avoid overheating.

Recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses and gloves. For metal drilling, apply suitable cutting fluid and moderate feed to extend tool life. Avoid excessive side loads; keep the drill axial and stable to maintain hole accuracy and reduce wear.
