Drill Bit Bosch 2609255213 1.6 cm Diameter 160 mm Length

The Bosch 2609255213 drill bit has a diameter of 1.6 cm and a total length of 160 mm, engineered for accurate hole making in a range of common materials. Designed by Bosch for general drilling applications, this bit offers a balance of cutting performance and wear resistance suitable for both professional tradespeople and home DIY users. The construction and geometry of the tip support precise entry and stable drilling, reducing wobble and improving hole quality.

Advantages

This drill bit provides consistent drilling performance with a robust shaft and cutting edge geometry that maintains accuracy over repeated use. Its 160 mm length allows for deeper holes than standard short bits while the 1.6 cm diameter is suitable for medium-sized fasteners and fittings. The bit's design reduces heat buildup and helps preserve cutting edges, contributing to longer service life when used within recommended material types and speeds.

Suitable for

• Drilling medium-diameter holes in wood and engineered timber
• Creating openings for fixtures and fasteners in construction and renovation
• General-purpose drilling where a 16 mm diameter is required
• Workshop and site tasks requiring a longer reach for through-holes

Key specifications

• Diameter: 1.6 cm (16 mm)
• Overall length: 160 mm
• Intended use: general-purpose drilling
• Material compatibility: wood, composite timber products, and similar common construction materials
• Tip geometry: designed for precise entry and reduced wandering

How to use

Select an appropriate drill or cordless driver that accepts the shank type of this bit and secure the bit in the chuck according to the tool manufacturer's instructions. Mark the drilling point, apply steady pressure, and run the drill at a speed suitable for the material being drilled. For deeper holes, periodically withdraw the bit to clear chips and reduce heat buildup. Use proper clamping and protective equipment to ensure safety during operation.

Usage recommendations

For best results, match drill speed and feed rate to the material: use higher speeds for softer woods and lower speeds for denser materials. Keep the bit clean of resin and debris, and avoid excessive force that may cause deflection or premature wear. Store the bit in a dry place and inspect cutting edges before use to maintain consistent performance.
