Drill bit Bosch 8 mm diameter model 2608833801 for metal and wood drilling

Bosch drill bit 2608833801 with an 8 mm diameter is designed for general-purpose drilling in metal and wood. The bit fits standard chucks and is suitable for handheld drills and drill presses. It provides consistent, precise holes for repair, construction and DIY tasks, with a geometry optimized for clean entry and stable performance during straight drilling operations.

Advantages

The 8 mm Bosch drill bit offers reliable centring and uniform cutting action across a range of common materials such as steel, iron, and soft to medium-hard woods. Its shank is compatible with most standard drill chucks for fast mounting and secure retention. The bit's design reduces walking at the start of the drill operation and supports repeatable hole diameters for applications that require accuracy.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes in metal sheets and plates
• Creating pilot and through-holes in wood for carpentry and furniture assembly
• General repair and maintenance tasks requiring 8 mm holes
• Use with handheld drills and benchtop or floor drill presses

Key specifications

• Diameter: 8 mm
• Material compatibility: metal and wood
• Intended chuck type: standard drill chucks
• Typical applications: through-holes, pilot holes, and general-purpose drilling
• Suitable for handheld drills and drill presses

How to use

Secure the drill bit in the drill's chuck and tighten firmly according to the drill manufacturer's instructions. Select an appropriate rotation speed for the material: moderate to high speeds for wood and lower speeds with cutting fluid for harder metals. Align the bit with the marked drilling point and start at a low speed to establish the hole, then increase speed and apply steady pressure. Withdraw the bit periodically when drilling deeper holes to clear chips and reduce heat buildup. After use, clean and store the bit in a dry place.

Recommendations

For best results when drilling metal, use cutting fluid or lubricant and maintain lower rotational speeds to extend bit life. When working with wood, secure the workpiece and use clamps to prevent movement. Replace the bit when wear or dullness reduces cutting performance to preserve hole quality and avoid damage to the workpiece.
