Metallics HSSCN37E – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size hole does the Metallics HSSCN37E #37 drill bit make?
It is a #37 wire gauge bit, which cuts a 0.104 inch hole. Wire gauge sizing is why you won't find it on a fractional index: #37 sits between 3/32 (0.0938) and 7/64 (0.1094), so reach for it when the print calls out a number size rather than a fraction.
2) Can I use the #37 bit as a tap drill for 6-32 threads?
Yes. #37 is a standard tap drill for a 6-32 UNC thread, giving roughly a 75 percent thread engagement. Electricians commonly use that combination for tapping enclosures, panel backplates, and strut fittings, and the cobalt grade on this bit handles the harder steel those parts are made from.
3) Is the HSSCN37E cobalt bit good for drilling stainless steel and hardened material?
That's what the cobalt is for. Cobalt high speed steel holds its edge at higher temperatures than plain HSS, so it handles stainless, work-hardening alloys, and tough steels where a standard black oxide bit burns up. Keep speed down and pressure steady.
4) What does the 135 degree split point on this Metallics drill bit actually do for me?
A 135 degree split point self-centers, so the bit starts where you put it without walking and without a center punch. It also cuts with less thrust than a conventional 118 degree point, which matters on sheet metal, strut, and enclosure work where you are drilling freehand.
5) Will the HSSCN37E fit a standard drill chuck, or does it need a hex holder?
Straight shank, so it chucks into any standard three-jaw drill or drill press chuck. No quick-change hex adapter needed. Overall length is 2-1/2 inches, which is a jobber-style length for this size and gives you room in a chuck without excess flex.
6) How is the Metallics HSSCN37E packaged, and is it sold individually?
One bit per order, supplied in a pouch rather than a plastic index case. If you are stocking a van or a shop crib and want multiples of the #37 size, order the quantity you need rather than expecting a set.
7) Why is this cobalt drill bit yellow instead of black oxide or bright finish?
The yellow coloring on the HSSCN37E is a visual marker for the cobalt grade, so a bit in a drawer or pouch is identifiable at a glance and does not get mixed in with plain HSS. It is not a coating that affects cutting.
