Metallics HSSCN6E – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the Metallics HSSCN6E a cobalt drill bit or just standard high speed steel?
The HSSCN6E is a heavy duty cobalt high speed steel bit, not plain HSS. Cobalt holds its edge at higher heat, so it's the one you reach for in stainless, hardened strut, or structural steel rather than wood or thin sheet. It has a straight shank, so it chucks into any standard keyed or keyless drill.
2) Is the #6 on the Metallics HSSCN6E a fractional size or a wire gauge number?
It's a wire gauge size, #6, not a fraction and not a letter size. Wire gauge bits are what electricians use for tapping and for pilot holes to a specific screw thread, so check your tap chart or screw spec against gauge numbers rather than 64ths when you order. Overall length is 3-3/4 inches.
3) What does the 135 degree split point on this Metallics cobalt bit do for me on metal?
A 135 degree split point starts cutting on contact instead of walking across the surface, so you can drill metal without center punching first. The flatter 135 degree angle also spreads the load across the cutting lips, which is what you want when you're going into steel or stainless on a ladder with a hand drill. The HSSCN6E carries that grind.
4) How many drill bits come in the Metallics HSSCN6E pack?
One bit per pack, supplied in a pouch. If you're stocking a van or a shop crib and want spares of the same #6 gauge, you have to order the quantity you need, because there's no multi-pack bundled in.
5) Will a 3-3/4 inch drill bit reach through the depth I need?
Overall length on the HSSCN6E is 3-3/4 inches, and that figure includes the shank held in the chuck, so usable flute depth is well under that. For through-drilling strut, plate, or box steel it's plenty. For deep penetration work or reaching into a cabinet past an obstruction, you want an aircraft-length or extension bit instead.
6) What is the yellow coating on the Metallics HSSCN6E cobalt bit?
Yellow is how the HSSCN6E is finished, and on a cobalt bit that gold-yellow appearance is the normal look of the cobalt alloy body rather than a plating you can wear off the cutting edge. Practically, it makes the bit easy to pick out of a mixed index of black oxide and bright-finish bits.
