Metallics HSSC14E – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size hole does the Metallics HSSC14E drill bit cut, and how long is it?
The HSSC14E is a 9/32 inch diameter cobalt jobber bit with an overall length of 4-1/4 inches. That diameter is the common tap-drill size ahead of a 5/16-18 thread, so it is a bit electricians and MRO crews keep on hand for strut and channel hardware prep.
2) Will a cobalt 135 degree split point bit drill stainless steel and hardened plate?
Cobalt is the reason to pick this one. The HSSC14E is a heavy duty cobalt bit with a 135 degree split point, which is the geometry used for stainless, abrasive alloys and hard plate: the split point starts cutting on contact instead of walking, so you can drill without a center punch, and the cobalt holds an edge at the heat those materials generate. A standard 118 degree high speed steel bit is the cheaper choice for mild steel, wood and plastic.
3) Does the Metallics HSSC14E have a round shank that fits a standard drill chuck?
It is a straight shank bit, so it chucks into any standard 3-jaw keyed or keyless drill chuck. It is not a hex or SDS shank, so it will not lock into an impact driver's quick-change collet or a rotary hammer.
4) How many drill bits come in the Metallics HSSC14E package?
One bit per package, supplied in a pouch. For a crew drilling stainless or hardened material regularly, order multiples rather than expecting a set.
5) Why is this cobalt bit yellow instead of the usual black or bright finish?
The HSSC14E carries a yellow finish, which is how Metallics marks its cobalt line so it is easy to pull the right bit out of a pouch or truck drawer. Finish color here is identification, not coating performance; the cutting ability comes from the cobalt alloy and the 135 degree split point.
