Drill Bits Bosch CYL-5 2608588136 5-piece set for wood and metal

The Bosch CYL-5 2608588136 5-piece drill bit set is designed for precision drilling in wood and metal and offers durable construction for repetitive use. These bits are intended to deliver clean, accurate holes suitable for both professional tradespeople and DIY users. The set combines Bosch engineering and material choices to provide reliable performance across a range of common drilling tasks.

Advantages

The CYL-5 bits feature a carbide-enhanced tip and diamond-ground cutting edges for increased wear resistance and consistent hole quality. A 2-flute vario geometry with a short, variable incline reduces friction on the flute and improves dust removal, helping to limit wear during extended use. The Power Grip shank system provides reliable power transfer from drill to bit, minimising loss of torque and reducing wear on both tool and bit. The set is suitable for use in everyday applications where accurate holes and long bit life are required.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes in wood for joinery and fittings
• Drilling through metal for fasteners and brackets
• General home improvement and repair tasks
• Light to medium-duty professional drilling where precision is required

Key specifications

• Set contents: 5 drill bits designed for wood and metal drilling
• Tip material: carbide-enhanced with diamond-ground cutting edges for wear resistance
• Flute design: 2-flute vario geometry for improved dust evacuation and reduced friction
• Shank type: Power Grip shank system for direct power transfer
• Intended materials: wood and metal (suitable for a range of common construction and repair materials)

How to use

Select the appropriate drill bit size from the 5-piece set and secure it firmly in the drill chuck or compatible cylindrical shank system. Use the correct speed and feed for the material: moderate speeds for metal and higher speeds for softer woods. Apply steady, even pressure and allow the bit to cut without forcing. Clear chips and dust periodically to maintain cutting efficiency and reduce heat build-up. For best results with impact-capable drills, ensure compatibility with the cylindrical shank and the drill's power settings.

Usage recommendations

When drilling metal, use cutting lubricant and moderate speed to extend bit life. For wood, choose an appropriate speed and avoid excessive side-loading. Inspect bits regularly for wear and replace when cutting performance deteriorates to maintain hole accuracy and fixation reliability.
