Drill bit, Bosch 2609255205 — 8 mm diameter, 115 mm length, 1 piece

Bosch 2609255205 is a single 8 mm diameter, 115 mm long brad point drill bit designed for clean, tear-free drilling in wood. The bit features a centring tip and shoulder cutter that produce precise holes with reduced splintering at the entry and exit surfaces. Supplied as one piece, this drill bit fits compatible hand drills and drill drivers and is manufactured to Bosch's factory standards for consistent geometry and reliable performance.

Advantages

The brad point tip ensures accurate centring and prevents wandering on the workpiece, while the shoulder cutter creates a defined hole edge for neat results. The 115 mm length provides sufficient reach for through-holes and deeper drilling tasks in timber, and the single-piece supply makes it easy to replace or keep as a spare. Manufactured to Bosch production standards, the bit offers consistent diameter and cutting geometry for repeatable, precise holes.

Suitable for

• Drilling precise 8 mm holes in softwood and hardwood
• Furniture making and joinery tasks requiring clean edges
• Through-holes in boards, panels and workpieces up to the bit's length
• Use with compatible handheld drills and drill drivers

Key specifications

How to use

Select a compatible drill or driver and secure the 8 mm bit in the chuck according to the tool manufacturer's instructions. Mark and, if needed, clamp the workpiece to prevent movement. Start drilling at low speed to allow the brad point to centre, then increase speed as the bit engages the material. Apply steady, even pressure and withdraw the bit periodically for chip clearance when drilling deeper holes. After completion, remove any remaining chips and inspect the hole for the desired finish.

Usage recommendations

For the best results with this Bosch brad point bit, use appropriate clamping and a suitable drill speed for the wood type: lower speeds for hardwoods and moderate speeds for softwoods. Where a perfectly clean exit is required, consider backing the workpiece with sacrificial support to further reduce tear-out.
