FAQs
Can I use these bits for drilling into glass?
These bits are designed for concrete, masonry, metal, wood, and plastic. For glass, specialized glass drilling bits are recommended to prevent breakage.
What is the difference between rotary and impact mode for these bits?
Rotary mode spins the bit to cut material. Impact mode adds a hammering action, which is highly effective for breaking up hard materials like concrete and stone. For softer materials like wood or metal, rotary mode is sufficient and prevents damage.
How do I clean the Bosch EXPERT HEX-9 drill bits?
After use, wipe the bits clean with a dry cloth or a soft brush to remove dust and debris. For stubborn residue, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying.
What sizes are included in the set?
The set includes seven pieces: 4 x 45 x 90 mm, 5 x 50 x 100 mm, 6 x 60 x 100 mm (x2), 8 x 50 x 100 mm, 10 x 90 x 150 mm, and 12 x 90 x 150 mm.
Are these bits suitable for precise metalworking?
Yes, the high precision and durable construction make them suitable for precision engineering tasks and metalworking applications.
Can I use these bits with a standard drill without impact function?
Yes, these bits can be used effectively with any standard rotary drill. The impact function is an optional enhancement for specific hard materials.
Troubleshooting
Drill bit slipping in chuck
Ensure the hex shank is fully inserted and the chuck is tightened securely. If using a standard 3-jaw chuck, ensure it's gripping the hex shank firmly. Consider using a drill with a dedicated hex collet chuck for maximum security.
Slow drilling speed in concrete
Verify that the drill is set to impact (hammer) mode. Ensure the bit is not clogged with debris. Apply steady, consistent pressure.
Bit overheating
Reduce drilling pressure and speed. Allow the bit to cool periodically. Ensure you are using the correct drilling mode for the material. For metal, consider using a lubricant.
Inaccurate hole starting (wandering)
Ensure the bit's centering geometry is clean. Mark the starting point clearly. Apply gentle pressure initially until the centering geometry engages the material.
Pros and Cons
Pros
Exceptional versatility across multiple material types.
Secure hex shank prevents bit slippage and maximizes power transfer.
Precise drilling initiation thanks to centering geometry.
Suitable for both impact and rotary drilling modes.
Designed for durability and long-term performance.
High precision suitable for demanding tasks.
Cons
Requires user to select correct drilling mode for optimal results.
May be overkill for simple, single-material drilling tasks.
Performance may vary slightly between material types.
Requires a drill with a hex chuck or a suitable chuck adapter.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Select the appropriate drill bit size for your intended hole.
Insert the hex shank of the drill bit firmly into your drill's chuck.
Ensure the chuck is tightened securely around the hex shank to prevent slippage.
If using a hammer drill, ensure the impact mode is engaged only when drilling into concrete, stone, or masonry.
For wood, plastic, metal, and tile, use the rotary-only drilling mode.
Compatibility:
Compatible with all standard drills featuring a 3-jaw chuck or a hex collet chuck.
Ideal for use with impact drills and standard rotary drills.
Ensure your drill has sufficient power and speed settings for the material being drilled.
Care:
After use, clean the drill bits to remove debris and dust. A soft brush or cloth is recommended.
Store the drill bits in their original case or a designated bit holder to prevent damage and loss.
Avoid overheating the bits by not forcing them excessively, especially in hard materials. Allow the drill to do the work.
Inspect bits regularly for wear and tear; replace any damaged or excessively worn bits.
