Drill bit Bosch 2608833785, 5 mm diameter, carbide tip

Bosch 5 mm drill bit with a carbide tip is designed for precision drilling of small holes in common materials. The bit offers a consistent 5 mm diameter and is compatible with both handheld and stationary drills. Its construction balances wear resistance and accurate cutting geometry to maintain hole size and edge quality during repeated use in DIY, repair and light professional tasks.

Advantages

The carbide tip improves cutting performance and extends tool life compared with standard high-speed steel bits. The precisely ground flutes and point geometry provide stable drilling and reduced walking at start, producing cleaner holes. Its 5 mm diameter ensures repeatable, accurate hole sizing for fittings, fasteners and dowels, while the robust shank fits common drill chucks for quick bit changes.

Suitable for

• Drilling pilot and through-holes in wood
• Light metal drilling such as thin sheet or soft alloys
• Plastic and composite materials
• Home repair, furniture assembly and mounting tasks

Key specifications

• Cutting tip: carbide
• Nominal diameter: 5 mm
• Shaft type: straight cylindrical shank compatible with standard chucks
• Typical applications: wood, plastics, light metals
• Intended use: handheld and stationary drills

How to use

Secure the drill bit in the drill chuck and tighten firmly to prevent slippage. Mark the drilling position and, where necessary, use a center punch to reduce walking. Start drilling at low speed to establish the hole, then increase speed appropriate to the material while applying steady, even pressure. For metals and plastics use cutting lubricant or pauses to avoid overheating; for wood use continuous cutting with moderate feed. Withdraw the bit occasionally to clear chips and maintain hole quality.

Usage recommendations

Wear eye protection and follow general workshop safety. Select drill speeds and feed rates according to material hardness to prolong the carbide tip life. Replace the bit when wear affects hole accuracy or cutting performance.
