Spiral cutting drill bit Bosch 2 608 585 602 6 mm

The Bosch 2 608 585 602 6 mm spiral cutting drill bit is a precision tool designed for drilling with hand drills and rotary hammers where a compact diameter is required. Manufactured by Bosch, this 6 mm bit features a spiral cutting geometry that helps remove material efficiently and maintain a straight drilling line. The tool is intended for general drilling tasks in compatible materials and for users who need a reliable, narrow-diameter drill option.

Advantages

The spiral cutting design improves chip evacuation and reduces clogging while drilling, supporting consistent cutting action and more accurate hole placement. Its 6 mm diameter provides a balance between small-hole capability and sufficient stiffness for controlled drilling. The bit is made to industry tolerances that promote compatibility with common drill chucks and shank holders, ensuring straightforward installation and repeatable results.

Suitable for

• Drilling small-diameter holes in wood and similar soft materials
• Light-duty metal drilling where a 6 mm hole is required
• Installation tasks that require precise, narrow holes (e.g., dowels, pilot holes)
• Use with drills and rotary hammers appropriate for small-diameter bits

Key specifications

• Diameter: 6 mm
• Cutting geometry: spiral flute for chip removal
• Intended tool types: hand drills and rotary hammers compatible with small-diameter bits
• Typical applications: wood, light metals, and general-purpose drilling tasks

How to use

Secure the drill bit in the drill chuck or SDS holder according to the tool manufacturer's instructions, ensuring the bit is seated and tightened properly. Select an appropriate speed and feed rate for the material being drilled; lower speeds are generally better for metals while higher speeds can be used for softer materials like wood. Apply steady, even pressure and allow the spiral flute to carry chips away from the hole. Withdraw the bit periodically on deeper holes to clear chips and reduce heat buildup.

Usage recommendations

Use cutting fluid or lubrication when drilling metals to extend bit life and improve surface finish. For clean holes in wood, clamp workpieces securely and start with a pilot mark to prevent wandering. Inspect the bit for wear or damage before use and replace if edges are dull or the flute is clogged.
