Drill bit Bosch 8 mm diameter 2608680279 for metal and wood

Bosch drill bit 8 mm diameter 2608680279 is a single-purpose cutting tool designed to produce precise 8 mm holes in metal and wood. Intended for use with standard drill chucks, the bit supports common repair, assembly and construction tasks where an accurate, clean bore is required. The geometry and material selection make it suitable for penetrating a range of ferrous and non-ferrous metals as well as typical wood types used in carpentry and joinery.

Advantages

This 8 mm drill bit provides consistent hole diameter and stable drilling performance when used at appropriate speeds and feed. The cutting edges are ground to maintain concentricity and reduce wobble in the chuck. Its design balances durability with cutting efficiency, delivering clean chip evacuation in wood and controlled cutting in metal. Compatibility with common drill chucks allows easy replacement and use across corded and cordless drills.

Suitable for

• Drilling 8 mm holes in sheet metal and plate
• Creating pilot and through-holes in timber and composite wood
• Repair, mounting and assembly tasks requiring accurate bores
• Use with hand-held corded and cordless drills with standard chucks

Key specifications

• Diameter: 8 mm
• Intended materials: metal and wood
• Shank type: standard cylindrical shank for common drill chucks
• Typical use: through-holes and pilot holes for assembly and repair
• Compatibility: hand-held and bench drills with matching chuck capacity

How to use

Select a drill with a compatible chuck and secure the 8 mm bit firmly. Mark the drilling position and, when drilling metal, use appropriate cutting speed and light cutting pressure to avoid overheating; apply cutting fluid for prolonged metal drilling. When drilling wood, use steady feed and moderate speed to prevent splintering at the exit face. Maintain firm, level control of the drill and clear chips from the hole periodically for longer cuts.

Usage recommendations

Use personal protective equipment such as safety glasses and gloves. For metals, apply cutting lubricant and pause to clear chips when drilling deeper holes. For clean exit holes in wood, consider backing the workpiece with sacrificial material. Store the drill bit in a dry place to prevent corrosion and inspect for wear before use; replace when cutting edges become dull or chip.
