Metallics HSSCBLK13 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the Metallics HSSCBLK13 drill bit cobalt or standard high speed steel?
It's a heavy duty cobalt high speed steel bit, 1/4 inch diameter and 4 inches overall, with a black oxide finish. Cobalt holds its edge in harder materials like stainless and strut channel better than plain HSS, which is why it gets specified for electrical rough-in work rather than wood boring.
2) What does the 135 degree split point on the HSSCBLK13 1/4 inch bit do?
A 135 degree split point is a self centering geometry, so the bit starts where you put it without a center punch and resists walking on smooth metal. The flatter 135 degree angle also cuts with less thrust pressure than a standard 118 degree point, which matters when you're drilling overhead into channel or panel enclosures.
3) Does the HSSCBLK13 have a round shank that fits a standard drill chuck?
It's a straight shank bit, so it chucks into any 3-jaw keyed or keyless drill chuck rated for 1/4 inch. It is not a hex shank, so it will not snap into a quick-change impact driver collet without an adapter chuck.
4) What part number do I order for the Metallics 1/4 inch black cobalt drill bit?
Order Metallics HSSCBLK13. That designation covers the 1/4 inch diameter, 4 inch straight shank, 135 degree split point cobalt bit in black finish.
5) How many drill bits come in the Metallics HSSCBLK13 pack?
One bit per pack, supplied in a pouch. If you're stocking a van or a maintenance crib and want spares of the 1/4 inch size, order the quantity you need rather than expecting a multi-pack.
