Metallics HSSBG1764E – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size is the Metallics HSSBG1764E drill bit?
It's a 17/64 inch diameter bit. That's a common tap-drill and clearance size on electrical work, sitting between 1/4 inch and 9/32 inch.
2) Is the HSSBG1764E a high speed steel bit or carbide?
High speed steel. The HSSBG1764E is an HSS jobber bit with a black and gold finish, which is the standard MRO workhorse for steel, aluminum, and wood. For masonry or concrete you want a carbide tipped bit instead, not this one.
3) Is this bit sold individually or in a set?
The HSSBG1764E is a single-size bit, 17/64 inch, ordered by that part number. It isn't an assortment, so if you need a range of sizes you order each diameter as its own item.
4) What does the black and gold finish on this Metallics bit mean?
Black and gold refers to a black oxide body with a gold-colored coating on the flutes, used on MRO-grade HSS bits to cut heat and galling when drilling metal. It's a surface treatment, not a different steel, so sharpening practice is the same as any HSS bit.
5) What is jobber length and is it long enough for drilling through a steel stud or box?
Jobber length is the standard general-purpose flute and overall length for HSS twist bits, which handles typical sheet metal, steel studs, strut, and enclosure walls. If you need to reach deeper than a jobber bit allows, step up to an extension or a longer aircraft-length bit rather than this one.
