Metallics HSSBG2364E – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size hole does the Metallics HSSBG2364E drill bit make?
It cuts a 23/64 inch hole. That size is the standard tap drill for a 3/8-16 thread, so it comes up constantly on electrical and MRO work where you are tapping strut, channel, or steel for 3/8 inch hardware rather than running a through bolt.
2) Is the HSSBG2364E a jobber length bit or a shorter screw-machine bit?
Jobber length. That is the general purpose length, long enough to reach through typical steel sections and wood, where a screw machine (stub) bit is shorter and stiffer for tight quarters or hand drilling in awkward positions. If you are drilling inside a panel or close to an obstruction, a stub length bit of the same diameter is the better pick.
3) What part number do I order for the Metallics 23/64 high speed steel bit?
Order Metallics HSSBG2364E. The 2364 in the number is the 23/64 diameter, and it is sold as a single bit, not a set, so pick up spares if you are drilling a run of holes in steel.
4) What does the black and gold finish on this HSS bit mean?
The Metallics 23/64 bit is high speed steel with a black and gold oxide finish. Black oxide adds surface lubricity and corrosion resistance over plain bright HSS, which helps when drilling steel. It is not a coated carbide bit, so masonry, tile, and hardened material still call for a different bit type.
