Drill Bit Bosch 2 608 597 506 Length 50 mm

The Bosch 2 608 597 506 Length 50 mm drill bit is designed for precision drilling in a variety of materials. With a 50 mm overall length and Bosch-engineered cutting geometry, this drill bit provides consistent bore quality and controlled chip evacuation. It is intended for general drilling tasks where accuracy and a clean hole finish are required, suitable for both professional tradespeople and home users working on renovation or assembly tasks.

Advantages

This 50 mm drill bit delivers reliable drilling performance due to hardened cutting edges and a geometry optimized for reduced walking and accurate centring. The bit construction promotes longer life under normal use and maintains cutting effectiveness across repeated operations. Its compact length gives improved control when drilling shallow holes and in confined spaces, while the compatibility with common drill chucks makes it practical for a wide range of handheld and bench drills.

Suitable for

• Drilling small to medium-diameter holes in wood
• Light-duty metal drilling and thin sheet work
• Installing fixtures and fittings where 50 mm length is sufficient
• DIY projects, cabinetry, and joinery tasks

Key specifications

• Length: 50 mm (overall)
• Intended use: general drilling in wood and light metals
• Shank type: standard cylindrical shank for common drill chucks
• Cutting geometry: tipped/hardened cutting edges for improved wear resistance
• Suitable for handheld and bench drills

How to use

Select an appropriate drill speed and clamp the workpiece securely before starting. Install the drill bit in the drill chuck and tighten firmly. Begin drilling with moderate pressure, allowing the bit to cut at its own pace; avoid excessive force which can reduce bit life and cause poor hole quality. For metal work, use cutting lubricant and lower speeds as recommended for the material. Withdraw the bit periodically when drilling deeper holes to clear chips and prevent clogging.

Usage recommendations

Use personal protective equipment such as safety glasses and gloves. Match drill speed and feed to the material being drilled, keep the bit perpendicular to the work surface for straight holes, and store the bit dry to prevent corrosion when not in use.
