Metallics HSSCN27E – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size hole does the Metallics HSSCN27E cobalt drill bit make, and what is it used for?
The HSSCN27E is a #27 wire gauge bit. Wire gauge sizes like #27 are the numbered series used for tapped holes and screw clearance work rather than fractional sizes, so it is the bit you grab when a drawing or tap chart calls out a number rather than an inch fraction. Overall length is 3 inches.
2) Is the HSSCN27E a cobalt bit or just regular high speed steel?
Cobalt. It is a heavy duty cobalt high speed steel bit, which is the alloy you want for stainless steel, hardened plate, and other work-hardening metals where plain HSS dulls fast. The yellow finish identifies it as the cobalt line.
3) What does the 135 degree split point on this drill bit actually do for me?
A 135 degree split point self-centers and starts cutting without a center punch or pilot hole, and it resists walking on hard, smooth surfaces like stainless or strut. The flatter 135 degree angle also cuts with less thrust than a standard 118 degree point, which matters when you are drilling steel overhead or in a hand drill. The HSSCN27E has that grind.
4) Is the Metallics HSSCN27E a straight shank bit that fits a standard keyless chuck?
Yes, it is a straight shank bit, so it chucks into any standard keyed or keyless drill chuck. There is no reduced shank or hex drive on it.
5) Can I use the HSSCN27E cobalt bit in an impact driver?
No. The HSSCN27E has a round straight shank, not a 1/4 inch hex, so it will not lock into an impact driver's quick-change collet. It needs a three-jaw chuck on a drill or drill press.
6) How many drill bits come in a Metallics HSSCN27E pack?
One bit per pack, supplied in a pouch. If you are stocking a service van or a maintenance crib and want spares of a #27, order the quantity you need rather than expecting a multi-pack.
7) What is the Metallics part number to reorder this #27 cobalt drill bit?
Order it as Metallics HSSCN27E. That is the manufacturer part number for the #27, 3 inch heavy duty cobalt straight shank bit with the 135 degree split point.
