Drill bit Bosch 6 mm diameter model 2608836650 for metal and wood

Straight shank drill bit by Bosch with a 6 mm diameter designed for drilling in metal and wood. The 6 mm cutting diameter provides precise round holes for assembly, repair and construction tasks. The bit fits standard chucks of handheld drills and drill presses and is intended for general-purpose use where a reliable, hardened cutting edge and stable shaft are required.

Advantages

This Bosch 6 mm drill bit offers consistent hole diameters and stable runout thanks to its straight shank design. Manufactured from hardened steel and finished for cutting in both metal and wood, the bit maintains edge integrity under normal drilling loads. Compatibility with common drill chucks makes it suitable for workshop and on-site use. The simple geometry supports straightforward centering and easy removal of swarf during operation.

Suitable for

• Drilling 6 mm holes in mild steel, sheet metal and non-hardened metal components
• Drilling through soft and hardwoods for joinery and fitting tasks
• Use in handheld electric drills and drill presses with compatible chucks
• General assembly, maintenance and light construction work

Key specifications

• Cutting diameter: 6 mm
• Shank type: straight shank for standard chucks
• Intended materials: metal and wood
• Typical applications: drilling for assembly, repair and construction

How to use

Select a drill or drill press with a chuck that securely clamps a straight 6 mm shank. Mark the drilling position and, when possible, use a center punch on metal to improve initial tracking. Start drilling at low speed to establish the hole, then increase speed appropriate to the material: lower speeds for metal, higher speeds for wood. Apply steady axial pressure without excessive force and periodically withdraw the bit to clear chips when drilling deeper holes. Ensure the workpiece is securely clamped and wear appropriate eye and hand protection.

Usage recommendations

For best performance when drilling metal, use cutting lubricant and moderate drilling speeds; when drilling wood, use higher speeds and clear chips frequently. Inspect the bit for wear or damage before use and replace it if dulling or chipping is observed.
