Twist Drill Bit Bosch 5 mm Diameter 2608637559 for Metal and Wood

Bosch twist drill bit with a 5 mm diameter designed for drilling in common materials such as metal and wood. The bit is compatible with standard drill chucks and intended for both DIY and professional use. It delivers precise 5 mm holes for assembly, repair and installation tasks, combining reliable cutting performance with straightforward handling.

Advantages

The 5 mm diameter provides accurate hole dimensions for fasteners and fittings. Constructed to withstand regular use on metal and wood, the bit maintains cutting edge stability and consistent drilling results. Its shank fits standard drill chucks for easy mounting and quick tool changes. The design balances rigidity and manageable cutting action to reduce walking at the start of drilling and support straight holes.

Suitable for

• Drilling pilot and through-holes in sheet metal and structural metal parts
• Making holes in soft and hard wood for assembly and furniture installation
• General repair, maintenance and installation tasks requiring 5 mm holes
• Work with handheld and bench drills that accept standard straight shanks

Key specifications

• Diameter: 5 mm
• Material application: metal and wood
• Shank type: straight shank compatible with standard drill chucks
• Intended use: through-holes and pilot holes for fastening and assembly
• Design: twist (spiral) flute for chip removal

How to use

Select appropriate drill speed and steady feed pressure according to the work material: lower speeds for metals and higher speeds for wood. Secure the workpiece with clamps or a vice to prevent movement. Insert the 5 mm twist drill bit into the drill chuck and tighten firmly. Start drilling with light pressure to establish the point, then increase to a consistent feed to complete the hole. Withdraw the bit occasionally when drilling deep holes to clear chips and avoid overheating. Use cutting lubricant or coolant when drilling metals to prolong bit life and improve cutting performance.

Usage recommendations

For best results, match drill speed and coolant use to the material: reduced speed and cutting oil for ferrous metals, moderate speed without lubricant for soft woods. Inspect the bit before use for wear or damage and replace when tip geometry is compromised to maintain hole accuracy.
