- Cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks for versatile compatibility with common power drills.
- Robust high-speed steel (HSS) construction offers durability and high wear resistance during intensive use.
- Smooth spiral design aids effective chip removal to prevent clogging during deep drilling.
Specifications
- Design: Brad point tip with precision-ground flutes; suitable for both hand-held drills and drill presses[6].
- Material: Hardened high-speed steel (HSS) provides longevity under demanding conditions[8].
- Total length: Approximately 150 mm; Working length: around 90–100 mm depending on model[2][5]. Diameter: Ø12 mm.

How it works
The Bosch Ø12 mm formwork drill bit is inserted into a compatible drill chuck. When activated, its brad point tip centers the bit precisely while sharp side spurs cut into the wood fibers first—resulting in smooth starts and clean, accurate holes with minimal surface damage[6][10].
