Twist drill bit Bosch Metal HSS-G DIN 338 8 mm

The Bosch Metal HSS-G DIN 338 twist drill bit 8 mm is a high-speed steel drill designed for precise metal drilling. It features a right-hand cutting, two-flute cylindrical body with a shank equal to the drill diameter and a polished finish. The tip is a 135° split point manufactured to DIN 1412 C with diameter tolerance h8, suitable for clean, accurate hole making in various metalworking tasks.

Advantages

Made from HSS (high speed steel) to DIN 338, this drill bit provides durability and heat resistance for metal drilling. The 135° split-point tip reduces walking and improves centring, while the two-flute design ensures efficient chip evacuation. The shank equal to the drill diameter allows secure clamping in standard chucks and the polished surface reduces friction during cutting.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes in mild steel and other metals
• Precision workshop and assembly tasks
• Use in handheld drills and bench drills with standard chucks
• General metal fabrication and maintenance work

How to use

Mark the drilling point and clamp the workpiece securely. Fit the 8 mm HSS-G drill bit into the drill chuck and tighten firmly. Use appropriate drill speed for metal and apply steady pressure without forcing. For best results when drilling metals, apply suitable cutting oil (recommended universal cutting oil 2 607 001 409) to reduce heat and improve tool life. Retract periodically to clear chips on deep holes.

Recommendations

Use the universal cutting oil 2 607 001 409 when drilling metals with HSS-G bits; select proper speed and clamping to avoid breakage and extend tool life.
