Metallics HSSCN10E – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size hole does the Metallics HSSCN10E #10 drill bit make, and what is the overall length?
The HSSCN10E is a #10 wire gauge bit with an overall length of 3-5/8 inches. #10 wire gauge measures 0.1935 inch, which is the common tap-size pilot for a 12-24 machine screw thread. Use it where a numbered gauge is called out on a drawing rather than a fractional size.
2) Will a cobalt drill bit like the HSSCN10E cut stainless steel and hardened plate, or should I use standard HSS?
Cobalt is the right choice for stainless, hardened plate, cast iron, and work-hardening alloys. The HSSCN10E is a heavy duty cobalt high speed steel bit, so it holds its edge at the higher heat those materials generate. Plain HSS is fine for mild steel, aluminum, and wood and costs less, but it dulls fast in stainless.
3) How many drill bits come in the Metallics HSSCN10E package?
One bit per package, supplied in a pouch. If you are stocking a van or a shop crib and want multiples of the #10 size, order the quantity you need rather than expecting a set.
4) Can I order the Metallics HSSCN10E in other sizes, or is #10 the only option?
The HSSCN10E is a single model and a single size, #10. Metallics builds the same heavy duty cobalt split point bit across other numbered gauges and fractional sizes under its own part numbers, so if you need a different diameter you are ordering a different part number, not a variant of this one.
5) Why is this Metallics drill bit yellow, and does the coating affect how I use it?
The yellow finish identifies it as a cobalt bit at a glance in a mixed bit index, which matters when you are grabbing one off the truck. Treat it like any cobalt bit: moderate speed, steady pressure, and cutting fluid on stainless. The color is identification, not a hardness upgrade.
