Drill bit Bosch CYL-3, diameter 10 mm, length 120 mm, single piece

The Bosch CYL-3 drill bit, diameter 10 mm and overall length 120 mm, is a single-piece masonry bit designed for use with corded and cordless impact drills that accept cylindrical shanks. Engineered for drilling into abrasive materials like concrete and natural stone, this bit features a durable carbide tip and a 2-flute U-shaped body that promotes efficient dust removal and reduces friction. The geometry and material selection aim to deliver precise 10 mm holes and consistent performance for general-purpose drilling and fixing installation tasks.

Advantages

The carbide blend used in the tip is formulated for high wear resistance during repetitive drilling in concrete, helping to maintain sharpness and accuracy over time. The 2-flute U-shape design facilitates rapid removal of drilling debris, lowering heat build-up and friction, which contributes to extended tool life. Compatibility with cylindrical shank systems makes the bit suitable for a wide range of standard drills and ensures reliable engagement and stable drilling behaviour. The product is tested to masonry drill bit association standards for consistent tolerances and dependable fixing hold.

Suitable for

• Drilling 10 mm holes in concrete for anchor bolts or wall plugs
• Creating openings in natural stone and other abrasive masonry materials
• General-purpose fixing installation where a precise 10 mm diameter is required
• Use with corded or cordless impact drills that accept cylindrical shanks

Key specifications

• Diameter: 10 mm
• Overall length: 120 mm
• Tip material: wear-resistant carbide blend
• Flute design: 2-flute U-shaped for improved dust removal
• Shank type: cylindrical
• Application materials: concrete, natural stone and other abrasive masonry

How to use

Secure the drill bit in the drill chuck designed for cylindrical shanks and set the tool to impact mode when drilling into masonry. Mark the drilling position, start at low speed to obtain a guide point, then increase speed and apply steady pressure without excessive force. Periodically withdraw the bit to clear accumulated debris and allow cooling. For through-holes or deep fixing holes, work in short bursts to avoid overheating the bit and the workpiece.

Usage recommendations

Use personal protective equipment such as safety glasses, gloves and a dust mask when drilling masonry. Match the drill speed and feed rate to the material hardness, avoid excessive side pressure, and replace the bit when wear affects hole accuracy or drilling performance.
