Metallics HSSCBLK5 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size hole does the Metallics HSSCBLK5 cobalt drill bit cut, and how deep can it reach?
The HSSCBLK5 is a 1/8 inch diameter bit with an overall length of 2-3/4 inches. That overall length includes the shank held in the chuck, so usable drilling depth is less than 2-3/4 inches. For 1/8 inch pilot holes in steel strut, enclosures, or junction box knockouts it is the common size; anything deeper than a couple of inches needs a longer bit.
2) Will a cobalt drill bit cut stainless steel, or do I need something else?
Cobalt is the right choice for stainless. The HSSCBLK5 is a heavy duty cobalt bit, and cobalt alloy holds its edge at the higher temperatures you generate drilling stainless, hardened steel, and cast iron, where plain high speed steel dulls fast. Run it slow with steady pressure and cutting fluid.
3) What does the 135 degree split point on this Metallics bit actually do for me?
A 135 degree split point self centers, so the bit bites where you put it instead of walking across the surface. On sheet metal, enclosures, and strut that means you can often skip the center punch and the pilot hole. The flatter 135 degree angle also cuts metal more efficiently than the 118 degree general purpose point.
4) Is the Metallics HSSCBLK5 sold as a single bit or in a set?
It ships as one piece in a pouch, not as an index or set. If you are stocking a van or a shop crib and want a range of sizes, you order each diameter separately.
5) What is the black finish on this cobalt bit for?
The HSSCBLK5 carries a black oxide type black finish. That surface reduces friction and chip welding and gives some corrosion resistance in a damp van or toolbox. It is a surface treatment, not the cutting material, the cutting performance comes from the cobalt alloy underneath.
6) What is the Metallics part number to reorder this 1/8 inch cobalt bit?
Order it as Metallics HSSCBLK5. That is both the model and the manufacturer part number for the 1/8 inch, 2-3/4 inch heavy duty cobalt bit with the 135 degree split point in black finish.
