Bosch CYL-5 Drill Bit Set 5, 6, 8 mm

The Bosch CYL-5 Drill Bit Set, featuring 5 mm, 6 mm, and 8 mm diameters, is a high-performance solution designed for demanding drilling tasks in masonry, concrete, and natural stone. Engineered for precision and longevity, these bits utilize a specialized carbide blend and diamond-ground cutting edges to ensure exceptional wear resistance. The integration of the Power Grip Shank System allows for efficient power transfer from the drill to the bit, minimizing energy loss and enhancing overall drilling performance.

Advantages

The primary benefit of this set is its superior durability, achieved through the combination of high-quality carbide materials and precision-engineered cutting edges. The 2-flute vario design features a variable incline that significantly improves dust removal, which reduces friction and heat buildup during operation. Furthermore, the PGM Masonry Drill Bit Association Board certification ensures that these bits maintain tight tolerances, resulting in perfectly sized holes that provide a secure and reliable hold for various fixings.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes for fixings in concrete
• Working with natural and artificial stone
• General masonry drilling applications
• Use with corded or cordless impact drills featuring cylindrical shank systems

When it may not be suitable

These drill bits are specifically optimized for masonry and stone materials and are not intended for drilling through metal, wood, or hardened steel. Using them on materials outside their design scope may lead to premature wear or damage to the carbide tips.

Key specifications

• Diameters included: 5 mm, 6 mm, 8 mm
• Material compatibility: Concrete, natural stone, artificial stone, masonry
• Shank type: Cylindrical
• Design: 2-flute vario design for efficient dust removal
• Cutting edge: Diamond-ground carbide

How to use

To use the Bosch CYL-5 drill bits, insert the desired size into the chuck of your impact drill, ensuring it is tightened securely to utilize the Power Grip system. Position the bit perpendicular to the surface and apply steady, controlled pressure. It is recommended to use the impact function of your drill when working with concrete or stone to achieve the best results. Always ensure the drill is set to the correct rotation speed for the diameter of the bit being used.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your drill chuck is compatible with cylindrical shank bits
• Ensure the selected diameters meet the requirements of your specific fixings
• Check that your drill supports the impact mode necessary for masonry work

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance and to extend the life of your drill bits, clear the dust from the hole periodically during deep drilling and avoid applying excessive lateral force, which can cause the bit to bind or break.
