Drill Bit Bosch 2 608 588 157

The Bosch 2 608 588 157 drill bit is designed for use with rotary hammers and SDS-plus compatible chucks. With a diameter of 12 mm and a total length of 150 mm, this single drill bit is intended for creating clean and consistent holes in masonry and other hard materials. The bit's construction balances hardness and toughness to deliver reliable performance in repetitive drilling tasks while maintaining a stable cutting edge.

Advantages

This drill bit offers durability through hardened steel and a tip geometry optimized for rotary-hammer operation. Its 12 mm diameter and 150 mm length make it suitable for medium-depth drilling while providing good control and straightness. The bit is manufactured to tight dimensional tolerances to ensure a secure fit in the tool chuck and consistent hole sizes across repeated uses.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes in masonry, concrete, brick and stone
• Anchoring and fixing installations (plugs, bolts, anchors)
• Electrical and plumbing rough-in work requiring medium-depth holes
• Professional and DIY repair or renovation tasks

Key specifications

• Diameter: 12 mm
• Total length: 150 mm
• Shank type: SDS-plus compatible (for rotary hammers)
• Material: hardened steel with wear-resistant tip geometry
• Intended use: masonry and similar hard construction materials

How to use

Insert the drill bit into an SDS-plus rotary hammer according to the tool manufacturer's instructions and secure it in the chuck. Select hammer drilling mode and begin drilling with steady axial pressure; avoid excessive lateral forces. Use a moderate feed rate to allow the tip to clear debris and prevent overheating. Periodically withdraw the bit to remove dust from the hole, and reduce drilling speed when approaching the required depth to maintain accuracy.

Usage recommendations

Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including safety glasses, hearing protection and dust mask when drilling masonry. Match the drill bit diameter to the fastener or anchor being used and verify that the rotary hammer is set to the correct power and mode for the material. Replace the bit if cutting performance declines or the tip shows visible wear.
