Metallics HSSC19E – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size hole does the Metallics HSSC19E drill bit cut?
The HSSC19E is a 23/64 inch diameter bit. That is the standard tap-drill size for a 7/16-14 thread, so it is a common pick when you are drilling to tap rather than drilling a clearance hole. Overall length is 4-7/8 inches.
2) Will a cobalt bit like the Metallics HSSC19E drill stainless steel and hardened plate?
Yes. The HSSC19E is a heavy duty cobalt bit, and cobalt alloy holds its edge at the higher cutting temperatures you get in stainless, abrasive cast iron and work-hardened plate, where plain high speed steel dulls fast. Run it slower than you would a standard HSS bit and keep steady feed pressure so the edge stays cutting rather than rubbing.
3) What does the 135 degree split point on this drill bit actually do for me?
The 135 degree split point on the HSSC19E self-centers, so it starts on its own without a center punch and resists walking on hard, flat stock. The flatter 135 degree angle also spreads the cutting load, which is why it pairs with cobalt for steel work. A 118 degree conventional point is the one that needs punching first.
4) How many drill bits come in a Metallics HSSC19E order, and how is it packaged?
One bit per order, supplied in a pouch. If you are stocking a truck or an MRO crib and want multiples of 23/64 inch, order the quantity you need rather than expecting a set.
5) What is the Metallics part number for the 23/64 inch cobalt drill bit?
Metallics HSSC19E. That single part number covers the 23/64 inch, 4-7/8 inch cobalt straight shank bit with the 135 degree split point, so there are no size or finish options to specify when ordering.
6) Is the yellow coating on the HSSC19E a gold titanium finish?
The yellow on the HSSC19E is the bit's finish color as supplied, and it makes the size easy to spot in a pouch or index. Cobalt bits get their performance from the alloy itself, not from a surface coating, so the cutting ability survives resharpening.
