Drill bit Bosch 5 mm diameter model 2608833775 for metal and wood

Bosch drill bit 5 mm diameter model 2608833775 is a single-purpose twist drill designed for drilling clean, accurate 5 mm holes in metal and wood. The bit fits standard drill chucks and is intended for routine assembly, repair and DIY tasks where a consistent 5 mm hole is required. Its geometry and material provide reliable cutting performance for common shop and on-site applications.

Advantages

The drill bit offers precise 5 mm hole size control and compatibility with standard chucks, allowing quick installation and removal. The cutting geometry reduces walking and improves centring when starting holes in both metal and wood. Made to Bosch quality standards, the bit provides consistent diameter tolerance and straightforward use for professionals and hobbyists alike.

Suitable for

• Drilling 5 mm holes in mild steel, sheet metal and non-hardened metal alloys
• Drilling through soft and hard wood, plywood and chipboard
• General assembly and repair work requiring a fixed 5 mm hole
• DIY and hobby projects where a single reliable drill size is needed

Key specifications

• Cutting diameter: 5 mm
• Type: twist drill bit for metal and wood
• Shank: straight shank compatible with standard chucks
• Material and finish: hardened steel appropriate for metal and wood drilling
• Intended use: hand drills and drill presses for routine drilling tasks

How to use

Install the 5 mm drill bit into the drill chuck and tighten securely. Select an appropriate rotational speed for the material: moderate speeds for metal and higher speeds for wood, using cutting lubricant when drilling metals to reduce heat and prolong bit life. Start drilling with light pressure to establish a centre, then apply steady pressure until the hole is complete. Withdraw the bit periodically to remove chips when drilling deeper holes.

Usage recommendations

Use suitable personal protective equipment (safety glasses and gloves) and clamp workpieces to prevent movement. For metal drilling, apply cutting oil and maintain moderate speeds; for wood, clear chips frequently and avoid excessive speeds that can burn the material. Inspect the bit for wear before use and replace it if the cutting edges become dull to maintain hole accuracy.
