Drill bit Bosch 8 mm diameter model 2608833891 for metal and general drilling

Bosch 8 mm drill bit model 2608833891 is a straight-shank metal and general-purpose twist bit engineered for routine drilling tasks. Designed by Bosch for use in handheld drills and drill presses, this 8 mm diameter bit provides consistent hole size for repair, installation and fabrication work. The bit is intended for cutting into metal and a variety of general materials where a durable, repeatable 8 mm hole is required.

Advantages

This 8 mm drill bit offers a straight shank that fits common chucks, ensuring secure mounting and reduced slippage during use. Its design prioritizes reliable cutting performance and repeatability for standard metal drilling applications and general-purpose tasks. The bit is compact and easy to handle, making it suitable for both handheld and machine-mounted operations while maintaining consistent hole quality.

Suitable for

• Drilling 8 mm diameter holes in metal sheets and profiles
• General-purpose drilling in wood and plastic where an 8 mm hole is required
• Repair and maintenance work requiring repeatable hole sizes
• Installation tasks such as mounting hardware and fixtures

Key specifications

• Diameter: 8 mm
• Shank type: Straight shank for standard chucks
• Material compatibility: Metal and general-purpose materials (wood, plastic where applicable)
• Intended use: Handheld drills and drill presses

How to use

Select an appropriate drill and secure the straight shank in the chuck, tightening according to the drill manufacturer’s instructions. Mark the drilling location and, where possible, use a center punch for metal to prevent wandering. Start at low speed to establish the hole, increasing speed as recommended for the material being drilled. Apply steady, moderate pressure and use cutting lubricant when drilling metal to prolong bit life and improve chip evacuation. Clear chips periodically and allow the bit to cool to avoid overheating.

Recommendations

For best results when drilling metal, use cutting fluid and moderate feed rates; for softer materials such as wood or plastic, higher speeds and minimal lubrication are appropriate. Inspect the bit for wear before use and replace when cutting performance or hole quality declines.
