Bosch GBM 1000 Rotary Drill 350W Compact Drill for Versatile Drilling Applications

Core specs include a 350 W motor, 0–2,800 rpm no-load speed, weight of 1.2 kg, 10 mm chuck capacity, and drilling capacities of up to 20 mm in wood and 10 mm in steel. It also features variable speed control, forward/reverse rotation, and a chuck key for secure bit changes.

It's well-suited for woodwork (pilot holes, furniture assembly), light metal drilling (aluminum, soft metals), and screwdriving tasks in tight spaces where a compact, lightweight tool is advantageous.

Unplug the drill, open the 10 mm chuck by turning the jaws with the chuck; insert the bit fully, then tighten the chuck securely with the chuck key. Remove the key before operation.

Use the variable speed control to match material and task: lower speeds for screwdriving and harder materials, higher speeds for faster drilling in wood. Use the forward/reverse rotation switch to select the desired direction for drilling or screwdriving.

Wear eye protection and gloves, secure your workpiece with clamps, keep hair and loose clothing away from the chuck, unplug before bit changes, and avoid forcing the tool—let the drill do the work at the appropriate speed.

Keep the exterior clean and free of dust, periodically inspect the chuck for wear, ensure the chuck key is stored with the drill, and use the proper bits for each material. Store in a dry place and avoid exposing the tool to moisture.

For a similar compact rotary drill on Fepy, you can also check the Bosch GBM 350 Professional Rotary Drill at https://fepy.com/product/bosch-gbm-350-professional-rotary-drill and the higher-power Bosch GBM 1000 Rotary Drill at https://fepy.com/product/bosch-gbm-1000-rotary-drill. The GBM 350 is lighter and more maneuverable, while the GBM 1000 offers higher power for tougher materials. Choose based on whether you need lighter handling (GBM 350) or more drilling power (GBM 1000).

The package includes the drill and a chuck key. Ensure you have compatible 10 mm bits for your intended tasks.

Yes. The forward rotation enables screwdriving, and the variable speed helps you control driving depth and avoid overdriving screws. Use appropriate bits and pilot holes for best results.

Use HSS bits for metal, twist and brad-point bits for wood, and specialty bits as required for your project. For masonry tasks, use a dedicated hammer drill or a suitable bit designed for that material, as this drill is optimized for wood and metal.

Take advantage of the ergonomic in-line grip for improved control, clamp the workpiece securely, and use small-diameter bits to reduce torque in confined areas. Maintain a steady feed pressure and avoid overheating by drilling at appropriate speeds.
