Metallics HSSBG18E – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the HSSBG18E 1/8 inch HSS bit drill steel strut and sheet metal, or is it wood only?
High speed steel is a metal-cutting substrate, so a 1/8 inch HSS bit like the HSSBG18E is intended for mild steel, sheet metal, and strut as well as wood and plastic. It is not a masonry bit, so it will not drill concrete, block, or brick, and it is not carbide tipped for hardened material.
2) Is the Metallics HSSBG18E a jobber length bit or a short stubby bit?
It is a jobber length bit. Jobber length is the standard general-purpose flute length, longer than a stubby or screw-machine bit, which gives you more reach in a stud bay or through a layer of sheathing but makes the bit easier to snap in a hand drill if you cock it in the hole.
3) What does the black and gold finish on the Metallics HSSBG18E bit mean?
Black and gold refers to the surface treatment on this 1/8 inch HSS bit: a black oxide and bronze oxide combination applied to the flutes and body. It is a coating choice, not a different steel, so the cutting substrate is still high speed steel.
4) How many bits come in the Metallics HSSBG18E?
HSSBG18E is a single 1/8 inch bit identity, not a multi-size index set. If you need a range of sizes for an MRO cart, order the diameters you want individually.
