Drill bit Bosch 8 mm diameter 2608680283 for metal and wood drilling

Bosch drill bit 8 mm diameter 2608680283 is designed for standard drilling tasks in metal and wood. The straight-shank bit fits common drill chucks and provides stable, precise holes for fastening, assembly and repair jobs. Its geometry balances cutting performance and hole finish to meet everyday workshop, construction and DIY requirements.

Advantages

The drill bit offers consistent drilling accuracy and reliable centring in both metal and wood. Its hardened cutting edges maintain shape during routine use, while the straight shank ensures secure clamping in compatible chucks. The bit’s diameter provides a versatile hole size for many fasteners and fittings, supporting repeatable results across multiple materials.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes in mild steel and sheet metal
• Creating pilot and through-holes in soft and hardwood
• Workshop, construction and general maintenance tasks
• DIY assembly and furniture installation

Key specifications

• Diameter: 8 mm
• Material compatibility: metal and wood
• Shank type: straight shank for standard chucks
• Typical applications: drilling for fasteners, pilot holes and through-holes

How to use

Secure the drill bit in the drill chuck and tighten firmly. Select an appropriate drilling speed for the material: lower speeds for metal and higher speeds for wood. For metal drilling, use cutting lubricant or coolant as recommended for the workpiece thickness to reduce heat and improve tool life. Apply steady axial pressure and allow the bit to cut without forcing; withdraw periodically to clear chips when drilling deep holes in metal. For wood, control feed to avoid splintering at the exit side.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the bit for wear or damage before use and replace when cutting edges are blunt. Use appropriate personal protective equipment, secure the workpiece, and follow the drill manufacturer’s instructions for chuck clamping and speed settings to achieve safe and reliable results.
