Metallics HSSBG116E – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will a 1/16 inch jobber bit drill steel electrical enclosures and strut?
High speed steel handles mild steel, aluminum, and plastics, which covers sheet steel boxes, enclosures, and strut. A 1/16 inch bit is small enough that it's really for pilot holes and small pin or screw holes, not for knockouts or conduit openings. For hardened or stainless material you want a cobalt bit instead.
2) What does jobber length mean on a 1/16 inch bit, and should I use a screw machine bit instead?
Jobber length is the standard general-purpose flute length, longer than a screw machine (stub) bit of the same diameter. At 1/16 inch that extra length makes the bit flexible and easy to snap under side load, so if you're drilling in tight quarters or with a hand drill against sheet metal, a stub-length bit tracks better. Jobber length is the right pick when you need depth or have to reach past an obstruction.
3) Is the HSSBG116E a black and gold coated bit or bright finish?
Black and gold finish. The HSSBG116E is a black-and-gold high speed steel bit, the MRO-grade style commonly stocked for general shop and maintenance drilling rather than a plain bright-finish bit.
