Bosch 2608577315 HSS Metal Twist Drill Bit PointeQ DIN 338 20x140mm with Reduced Shank

The 4-flute design improves chip evacuation and reduces friction, helping to prevent overheating. The 135° split point reduces walking and starts holes more precisely, especially in hard materials or tight spaces.

This set is optimised for softwood, hardwood, and mild steel. It’s designed to deliver clean, accurate holes in these materials and is not intended for masonry or reinforced concrete.

Key specs: cobalt-enriched HSS construction, 4-flute design, 135° split point, lightweight and ergonomic handling. The set includes a depth stop for precise drilling depth and two extra drill bits for extended versatility.

Clamp your workpiece securely, attach the depth stop to the drill bit, and set the stop to your desired depth. Start drilling with light, steady pressure and let the stop limit the bit’s penetration to the marked depth.

Yes. The P1-HSS-Pointteq is described as lightweight with an ergonomic handle, making it easier to maneuver in tight spaces. Always clamp the workpiece and maintain steady control when drilling in awkward positions.

Compare each for flute count, material compatibility, and whether a depth stop is included.

Common use cases include cabinetry and furniture making, carpentry in tight spaces, drilling pilot holes and holes for screws in softwood and hardwood, and light-duty metalwork involving mild steel where clean, accurate holes are important.

Before use, inspect for any damage and ensure the shank fits your drill chuck. Use moderate speed and steady pressure; avoid forcing the drill. For metal, especially, consider applying cutting fluid or oil to reduce heat. After use, clean any resin or debris, dry thoroughly, and store in a dry case to prevent corrosion.

Wear safety glasses, secure the workpiece with clamps, avoid loose clothing or jewelry, and maintain a firm grip. Start with a light pilot hole if needed, and never force the drill. Let the bit do the work and periodically pause to cool if drilling deep holes.

Evaluate the total set features (4-flute HSS design, 135° split point, depth stop, included extra bits), material compatibility (softwood, hardwood, mild steel), and how often you drill in these materials. If you frequently work in wood and light metal, the depth stop and extra bits add value by improving accuracy and reducing setup time.

No. This set uses cobalt-enriched HSS optimized for wood and mild steel. For masonry or concrete, use carbide-tipped drill bits or a masonry-specific bit set.

Ensure correct chuck size for the bit shank, verify the drill’s speed setting is appropriate for metal or wood, and avoid overheating by drilling with controlled pressure. If you’re drilling deep holes, consider taking breaks to prevent bit dulling due to heat buildup.
