Metallics HSSCN30E – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size hole does the Metallics HSSCN30E #30 drill bit make, and what is it typically used for?
The HSSCN30E is a #30 wire gauge bit, the standard size for drilling pilot holes for 1/8 inch rivets and for tapping 8-32 threads. It is a 2-3/4 inch overall length jobber-style bit, so it suits sheet metal, strut, enclosure panels and junction box work rather than deep drilling.
2) 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 starts where you put it without a center punch and without walking across sheet metal or a curved conduit body. The flatter 135 degree angle also spreads the cutting load, which is what you want in hard steel. Compare that to a 118 degree standard point, which needs punching and tends to skate.
3) Does the Metallics HSSCN30E come as a single bit or in a set?
It ships as one bit, packaged in a pouch. If you are stocking a van or a shop drawer and want a range of wire gauge sizes, you would order each size individually rather than getting an index.
4) Why is the Metallics HSSCN30E yellow instead of black or bright finish?
The yellow is a bronze-oxide type finish Metallics uses on its cobalt line; practically, it makes the cobalt bits easy to pick out of a drawer full of black oxide and bright HSS bits so the expensive bit does not end up in a wood stud. Cutting performance comes from the cobalt alloy and the 135 degree split point, not the color.
5) What part number do I order for the #30 cobalt bit from Metallics?
The manufacturer part number is HSSCN30E. The N30 in the code is the #30 wire gauge size, so the same series in another size carries a different number in that position.
