Choosing the Right Bosch Pro Cobalt Drill Bits
Match your drill bits to the task with these considerations:
1. Material Compatibility
For stainless steel and hard metals, opt for cobalt bits to avoid wear and tear. These bits maintain their edge longer than standard ones.
2. Drill Size
Select the right diameter for your project. Larger bits are perfect for making wider holes in structural steel, while smaller bits suit finer tasks.
3. Shank Type
Ensure compatibility with your drill-round or hex shank options can improve grip and reduce slippage during use.

Bosch Pro Cobalt Drill Bit FAQs
Can Bosch Pro Cobalt Drill Bits be used on wood?
While they can be used on wood, these bits are optimised for metalwork. Using them on wood may lead to quicker dulling compared to bits designed for softer materials.
How do I sharpen cobalt drill bits?
Use a bench grinder with a dedicated sharpening jig to maintain the correct angle. Regular maintenance keeps the bit sharp and effective.
What drill speed is best for cobalt bits?
Lower speeds are recommended to prevent overheating and preserve the bit's edge, especially when working with stainless steel or hard metals.
