Metallics HSSCN29E – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size hole does the Metallics HSSCN29E #29 drill bit make?
The HSSCN29E is a #29 wire gauge bit, which cuts a 0.136 inch hole. That is the standard tap-drill size for an 8-32 machine screw thread, which is why electricians keep this size on hand for drilling and tapping steel boxes, enclosures and strut.
2) Will a cobalt drill bit like the Metallics HSSCN29E drill stainless steel?
Yes. The HSSCN29E is a heavy duty cobalt bit, and cobalt alloy holds its edge at the higher temperatures you hit in stainless and other hard alloys, where plain high speed steel dulls or work-hardens the hole. Run it slow with steady pressure and cutting fluid.
3) What does the 135 degree split point on this Metallics bit do?
A 135 degree split point starts cutting on contact instead of walking across the work, so you can drill sheet metal, enclosures and strut without center punching first. The flatter 135 degree angle also spreads the cutting load better in hard metal than the 118 degree point found on general purpose bits.
4) How long is the Metallics HSSCN29E drill bit and how deep can it drill?
Overall length is 2-7/8 inches. That is a jobber-style straight shank bit, so usable flute depth is well under the overall length once the shank is in the chuck. For deeper work through stacked material or into a recessed location you need a longer aircraft or extension length bit.
5) Is the Metallics HSSCN29E sold as a single bit or in a set?
It ships as one piece, packed in a pouch, not as an index or assortment. If you are stocking a van or a shop crib and go through #29 bits tapping 8-32 holes, order the quantity you need rather than expecting multiples per pack.
6) What is the part number for the yellow finish #29 cobalt bit from Metallics?
Order it as Metallics HSSCN29E. That is the manufacturer part number for the heavy duty cobalt, 135 degree split point, #29 bit at 2-7/8 inches with the yellow finish.
