Made by Bosch, this 8 mm diameter bit provides a precise cutting edge and is compatible with standard drill chucks, delivering consistent hole diameter for workshop, maintenance and repair tasks.

Advantages

The drill bit offers accurate 8 mm hole sizing and reliable concentricity, helping to produce clean, repeatable holes. Its straight shank fits standard chucks for quick mounting and stable operation. The geometry and hardness are appropriate for drilling into a variety of metals and general materials encountered in construction and repair, ensuring predictable performance and long service life under normal working conditions.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes in steel, iron and non-hardened metal sheets
• General-purpose drilling in wood and plastics when an 8 mm hole is required
• Workshop maintenance, assembly and on-site repair tasks
• Use with handheld and bench drills that accept an 8 mm straight-shank bit

Key specifications

• Diameter: 8 mm
• Shank type: straight shank for standard chucks
• Drill type: twist drill suitable for metal and general materials
• Application: general drilling, metalworking and common construction materials
• Compatibility: fits standard drill chucks on handheld and bench drills

How to use

Select a drill or drill press with a compatible chuck and secure the 8 mm bit firmly in the chuck. Mark the drilling point and, where appropriate, use a center punch on metal to prevent wandering. Start drilling at low speed to establish the hole, then increase speed and apply steady, moderate pressure. For metal drilling, use appropriate cutting fluid or lubrication to reduce heat and prolong bit life. Withdraw the bit periodically to clear chips and avoid clogging.

Recommendations

Use suitable personal protective equipment such as safety glasses and gloves. Match drill speed and feed to the material: lower speeds for harder metals, higher speeds for softer materials. Keep the bit sharp and replace if worn or damaged to maintain hole accuracy and safe operation.
