Drill bit Bosch 5 mm diameter model 2608833821 for metal and wood drilling

Bosch drill bit 5 mm diameter model 2608833821 is designed for standard drilling tasks in metal and wood. The solid cylindrical shank fits common drill chucks and delivers a precise 5 mm hole diameter for repair, assembly and light construction work. This drill bit is intended for general-purpose use where a consistent hole size and compatibility with corded or cordless drills are required.

Advantages

The 5 mm Bosch drill bit offers dimensional accuracy for repeatable holes and a shank profile that ensures secure clamping in standard chucks. Engineered for drilling in both metal and wood, it provides a balance between cutting performance and durability suitable for everyday workshop tasks. Its straightforward geometry simplifies use and reduces the need for frequent bit changes when working across those two material types.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Drilling 5 mm holes in mild steel, sheet metal and metal profiles
• Drilling 5 mm holes in soft and hard woods, plywood and particle board
• General repair and maintenance work
• Assembly tasks requiring accurate 5 mm holes for fasteners
• Light construction and carpentry jobs

Key specifications

• Nominal diameter: 5 mm
• Material compatibility: metal and wood
• Shank type: cylindrical for standard chucks
• Intended use: general-purpose drilling
• Compatible with: corded and cordless drills with matching chucks

How to use

Install the drill bit into the drill chuck and tighten securely according to the drill manufacturer’s instructions. Select an appropriate drilling speed and apply steady pressure; for metal, start at a lower speed and use cutting fluid if needed to extend bit life. For wood, higher speeds and moderate pressure are typically effective. Withdraw the bit periodically to clear chips when drilling deeper holes. Observe standard safety measures such as eye protection and secure clamping of the workpiece.

Usage recommendations

Use lubricant or cutting oil when drilling hard or thick metal to reduce heat and wear. Choose drill speeds appropriate to the material: lower speeds for metal, higher speeds for wood. Replace the bit if cutting performance declines or if the tip is damaged to maintain hole accuracy.
