Drill bit Bosch 8 mm diameter model 2608833800 for metal and wood

Straight shank drill bit Bosch 8 mm diameter model 2608833800 is a precision cutting tool designed for drilling clean, accurate 8 mm holes in metal and wood. The bit features a straight shank that fits standard drill chucks and drill presses with compatible capacity. Its geometry and material make it suitable for general-purpose tasks in installation, repair and construction where reliable hole quality and repeatability are required.

Advantages

The Bosch 8 mm drill bit delivers consistent hole diameter and centered starts due to its well-balanced tip geometry. Constructed from hardened tool steel and finished for durability, it resists wear during repeated use on common metals and wood types. The straight shank provides stable mounting in chucks, minimizing runout and vibration for improved accuracy. Its universal design allows use in handheld drills and bench machines for both professional and DIY projects.

Suitable for

• Drilling 8 mm clearance or pilot holes in metal sheets and plates
• Creating 8 mm holes in soft and hardwood for joinery and fittings
• Installation tasks such as mounting brackets, fasteners and fixtures
• Repair and maintenance work requiring precise small-diameter holes
• Use in handheld drills and drill presses with matching chuck capacity

Key specifications

• Diameter: 8 mm
• Shank type: straight shank for standard chucks
• Primary materials: suitable for metal and wood
• Intended applications: general drilling in installation, repair and construction
• Compatibility: designed for use in standard drills and drill presses with matching chuck size

How to use

Secure the drill bit in the chuck and tighten firmly to reduce slippage. Select an appropriate cutting speed and, when drilling metal, use cutting lubricant to extend bit life and improve chip evacuation. For wood, choose a moderate speed and clamp the workpiece to prevent movement. Begin drilling with light pressure to ensure correct centering, then apply steady feed until the hole is complete. Withdraw the bit periodically when drilling deep holes to clear chips and avoid overheating.

Recommendations

For prolonged performance, store the drill bit dry and avoid impact damage to the cutting edges. Replace the bit if wear or chipping affects hole quality; re-sharpening may be possible for certain tool steels but ensure correct geometry is maintained.
