Metallics HSSCN20E – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will a cobalt drill bit like the HSSCN20E cut stainless steel enclosures?
Yes. The HSSCN20E is a cobalt high speed steel bit, and cobalt HSS holds its edge at the higher temperatures you get drilling stainless, hardened steel, and cast iron. A plain HSS bit dulls fast in those materials. Run it slow with pressure and cutting fluid.
2) What does the 135 degree split point on this Metallics bit actually do for me?
The 135 degree split point on the HSSCN20E self-centers, so the bit bites where you put it instead of walking across the metal. On sheet metal panels and strut you can usually skip the center punch. A standard 118 degree point needs punching or a pilot to start cleanly.
3) How long is the Metallics HSSCN20E bit and will it reach through a deep box?
Overall length is 3-1/4 inches, a jobber-length straight shank bit. That gives you roughly a couple of inches of usable flute depth, which handles panel walls, strut, and standard enclosure bodies. For anything deeper you want an extension or a longer aircraft-length bit.
4) How many drill bits come in a pack of the Metallics HSSCN20E?
One bit per pack, supplied in a pouch. If you are stocking a van or a shop crib and want spares of the #20 size, order multiples.
5) Does this Metallics drill bit fit a standard chuck or does it need a quick-change holder?
It is a straight shank bit, so it chucks directly into any keyed or keyless three-jaw drill chuck. No hex quick-change adapter required, and no impact driver collet, straight shank bits are for drill/drivers and drill presses.
6) What is the Metallics part number for the #20 cobalt drill bit?
Order it as Metallics HSSCN20E. That designation covers the heavy duty cobalt straight shank bit, 135 degree split point, #20 size, 3-1/4 inch length, yellow, one per pouch.
7) Why is the Metallics HSSCN20E bit yellow?
The yellow finish is a surface coating on the cobalt bit. The practical benefit on a job is sorting: in a pouch or a box of mixed bits, the yellow bits are the cobalt ones, so you are not guessing which bit to put into stainless.
