Drill Bit Bosch 2 608 550 079

The Bosch 2 608 550 079 is an 8 mm pilot drill bit designed for use with a hexagonal toolholder. It is intended for precision drilling in a variety of materials and constructed for reliable, long-lasting performance. The bit suits both professional tradespeople and DIY users seeking a compact, accurate drilling accessory.

Advantages

The 8 mm pilot geometry provides accurate centring when used with a hexagonal shank holder, reducing wander and improving hole placement. Hardened construction offers wear resistance for repeated use, while compatibility with hexagonal toolholders ensures a secure fit and easy bit changes.

Suitable for

• Precision pilot drilling in wood
• Guiding larger drill bits or hole saws
• General repair and assembly tasks requiring accurate start holes

Key specifications

• Drill diameter: 8 mm
• Shank type: hexagonal (for hexagonal toolholder)
• Intended use: pilot/guide drilling
• Material: hardened steel (designed for wear resistance)

How to use

Insert the drill bit into a compatible hexagonal toolholder and secure it according to the holder manufacturer’s instructions. Position the tip at the intended start point, apply steady axial pressure, and run the drill at a speed suitable for the workpiece material. Use the pilot drill to create an accurate starter hole before switching to a larger drill or hole saw if required.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment and select drilling speed and feed rate based on the material being drilled. Periodically inspect the bit for wear and replace it if cutting performance diminishes.
