Drill bit Bosch 6 mm diameter model 2608603656 for metal and wood drilling

Bosch drill bit 6 mm diameter model 2608603656 is a single straight-flute drill designed for drilling precise 6 mm holes in metal and wood. Intended for use with compatible hand drills and drill presses, this bit provides a consistent hole diameter suitable for installation, assembly and repair tasks. The geometry of the cutting edges and the shaft diameter match standard 6 mm requirements, enabling straightforward use in common drilling operations.

Advantages

The drill bit delivers a reliable 6 mm hole size with consistent concentricity and stability during drilling. Its construction balances cutting performance and durability for general-purpose metal and wood tasks. The standard shank diameter ensures compatibility with most three-jaw chucks and quick-change adapters, simplifying tool changes and setup.

Suitable for

• Drilling 6 mm holes in mild steel, sheet metal and non-hardened alloys
• Drilling through timber, plywood and laminated boards
• General workshop assembly and small repair jobs
• DIY home improvement projects requiring a precise 6 mm hole

Key specifications

• Nominal diameter: 6 mm
• Material compatibility: metal and wood
• Shank type: straight shank suitable for standard chucks
• Intended use: manual drills and drill presses for general-purpose drilling
• Typical applications: installation, assembly and repair

How to use

Secure the drill bit in the drill chuck so the shank is firmly clamped. Select a drill speed appropriate for the material: lower speeds for metals, higher speeds for wood. Mark the drilling point and, if necessary, use a center punch on metal to prevent wandering. Apply steady, even pressure and allow the bit to cut without forcing. Withdraw occasionally to clear chips when drilling deeper holes. After use, clean off debris and store the bit in a protective case to preserve cutting edges.

Usage recommendations

Use cutting oil or lubricant when drilling hardened or thicker metal to reduce heat and extend tool life; for wood, ensure chip clearance and use speeds that prevent burning. Inspect the bit for wear before tasks that require high positional accuracy, and replace if the cutting edges are rounded or the bit shows signs of damage.
