Dry Drill Bosch 2608599042 12 mm – 12 mm Bosch drill bit for dry drilling

Bosch dry drill 12 mm (model 2608599042) is a 12 mm-diameter drill bit engineered for dry drilling tasks. It is manufactured to provide accurate holemaking where coolant or lubrication is not used. The drill bit is compatible with standard chucks on rotary drills and is intended for straightforward drilling operations in materials suited to dry drilling techniques.

Advantages

The drill bit offers a precise 12 mm hole size with consistent cutting geometry that helps maintain hole roundness and dimensional accuracy. Its design reduces the need for additional cooling, making it suitable for operations where wet drilling is impractical. Bosch manufacturing standards ensure consistent quality and compatibility with a wide range of handheld and benchtop drills.

Suitable for

• Dry drilling tasks in materials that tolerate dry cutting
• Installation of fixtures and fittings requiring 12 mm holes
• On-site or field work where coolant systems are unavailable
• General-purpose maintenance and repair jobs with compatible drills

Key specifications

• Diameter: 12 mm
• Intended use: dry drilling (no coolant)
• Compatibility: standard drill chucks and Bosch rotary drills
• Application type: holemaking/cutting in suitable materials

How to use

Secure the 12 mm drill bit in the drill chuck according to the drill manufacturer’s instructions, ensuring firm clamping and correct alignment. Select a suitable rotation speed for the material being drilled and apply steady axial pressure without forcing the bit. Periodically withdraw the bit to clear chips where possible and allow the tool to cool between prolonged runs. Follow the safety and operating guidelines of the drill used, including eye protection and appropriate personal protective equipment.

Usage recommendations

Use the drill bit for materials and applications that are suitable for dry drilling; if the material or working conditions require lubrication or cooling, choose an appropriate coolant-capable drill bit instead. Match rotation speed and feed rate to the material to prolong bit life and maintain hole quality.
