Metallics HSSC1E – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size is the Metallics HSSC1E drill bit and how long is it?
The HSSC1E is a 1/16 inch diameter cobalt jobber-style bit with an overall length of 1-7/8 inches. It ships as a single piece in a pouch.
2) Will a 1/16 inch cobalt bit drill through stainless steel and hardened strike plates?
Cobalt is the reason to pick this one. The HSSC1E is a heavy duty cobalt bit, so it holds an edge in stainless, strut, and hardened plate where a plain high speed steel bit burns up. At 1/16 inch it is a pilot-hole bit, not a through-hole bit for conduit work.
3) What does the 135 degree split point on this drill bit actually do for me?
A 135 degree split point self-centers, so the HSSC1E starts without a punch mark and resists walking on sheet metal, panel boxes, and curved surfaces. The flatter 135 degree angle also cuts harder metals with less thrust than a standard 118 degree point.
4) Is the Metallics HSSC1E a round shank bit that fits a standard keyless chuck?
It is a straight shank bit, so it drops into any standard three-jaw keyless or keyed chuck on a cordless or corded drill. At 1/16 inch the shank is the same as the bit diameter, so a small chuck handles it fine.
5) How many drill bits come in the Metallics HSSC1E pack?
One bit per pouch. If you are stocking a van or an MRO crib and go through small-diameter bits quickly, order multiples rather than expecting a set.
6) Why is this drill bit yellow?
The yellow finish on the HSSC1E is a visual identifier for the cobalt heavy duty line, which makes it easy to pull the right bit out of a pouch or bit roll instead of grabbing a plain HSS bit of the same size.
