Twist drill bit Bosch HSS hex-shank 6 mm

Twist drill bit Bosch HSS hex-shank 6 mm is a solid high-speed steel (HSS) bit with a 6 mm diameter and a 1/4-inch (6.35 mm) hex shank for secure clamping in impact drivers and standard drills. The bit is precision-ground from solid metal, features an oxide-coated flute to reduce wear, and is manufactured to DIN 338 as Type N with a 135° split-point tip for accurate centring and active cutting.

Advantages

The Bosch HSS hex-shank drill bit provides robust metal drilling performance, improved centring and reduced walking thanks to the pointed split-point tip. The oxide-coated flute lowers friction and wear, extending tool life, while the 1/4-inch hex shank ensures a secure, slip-resistant fit in impact drivers and quick-change chucks. Manufactured to DIN 338 with diameter tolerance h8, the bit offers consistent drilling accuracy.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes in metal sheets and structural steel
• Use with impact drivers and cordless drills that accept 1/4" hex shanks
• General-purpose drilling in workshops and on-site jobs

How to use

Secure the drill bit in the chuck or hex adapter of your impact driver or drill. Select appropriate speed and feed for the metal being drilled; lower speed is recommended for harder steels. Use steady, even pressure and allow the bit to cut without forcing. Clear chips regularly to avoid clogging the flute and overheating. For prolonged life and better results, use cutting fluid when drilling stainless steel or high-strength alloys.

Usage recommendations

Use personal protective equipment (safety glasses, gloves) and clamp workpieces securely before drilling. Replace the bit if signs of wear or chipping are visible to maintain hole quality and reduce risk of breakage.
