Metallics HSSBG1164E – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the HSSBG1164E a high speed steel bit or carbide?
High speed steel. The HSSBG1164E is an HSS jobber bit with a black and gold surface treatment, so it is intended for steel, aluminum, brass, wood and plastic with a standard corded or cordless drill. It is not a masonry or carbide-tipped bit, so do not use it in concrete, brick or block.
2) Does the HSSBG1164E come as a single bit or in a set?
Single bit, one size. HSSBG1164E is the 11/64 inch bit on its own, ordered by that part number, so if you are stocking a van or a maintenance shop you order each fractional size you need separately rather than buying an indexed set.
3) Is an 11/64 HSS jobber bit the right choice for drilling through an electrical enclosure or strut?
Yes for light gauge steel. An 11/64 inch HSS bit handles enclosure walls, mounting plates and strut flanges with a drill set to a slow speed and steady pressure. For larger conduit knockouts you want a step bit or hole saw instead, since a jobber bit this size is sized for fastener holes rather than openings.
4) What does the black and gold finish on this HSS bit actually do?
Black and gold on an HSS bit means a black oxide body with a titanium or bronze-colored oxide treatment at the flutes and point. The coating cuts friction and heat buildup and resists rust in a job box or van, which is why it gets specified for MRO and electrical work where bits sit between uses.
