Flat drill Bosch EXPERT SELFCUT Speed 12x400 mm model 2608900340 for wood and soft materials

Bosch EXPERT SELFCUT Speed flat drill 12 x 400 mm (model 2608900340) is designed for fast, long-reach drilling in wood and other soft materials. The self-cutting flat bit provides efficient chip removal and stable bore guidance for deeper holes, making it suitable for door fittings, carpentry and installation work where a longer drill reach is required.

Advantages

The SELFCUT design reduces the need for pre-drilling by cutting cleanly into wood; the long 400 mm overall length enables deep and hard-to-reach holes; its shape promotes reliable chip evacuation and steady guidance during drilling; the 12 mm diameter delivers consistent bore size for fittings and hardware installation.

Suitable for

• Drilling long or deep holes in solid wood and softwood
• Creating holes for door fittings, locks and hinges
• Carpentry and on-site installation work requiring extended reach

How to use

Position the bit perpendicular to the workpiece, start at low speed to engage the self-cutting tip, then increase speed as the bit enters the material. Apply steady pressure without forcing; allow the bit to remove chips and clear them regularly when drilling deep holes. Follow the drill and accessory manufacturer's safety and mounting instructions.

Recommendations

Use the Bosch EXPERT SELFCUT Speed 12x400 mm for tasks that require precise, deep holes in wood. For best results, check compatibility with your drill, secure the workpiece, clear chips periodically, and wear appropriate eye and hearing protection while drilling.
