Metallics HSD29 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size is the Metallics HSD29 twist drill bit, and how many come in a pack?
The HSD29 is a 13/64 inch high-speed twist drill with a 3-5/8 inch overall length, sold 10 bits to a pouch. It's a single-size item, so the whole pack is 13/64.
2) Will a 13/64 twist drill clear a hole for a 1/4-20 machine screw?
Yes. 13/64 is the standard tap drill size for a 1/4-20 thread, so the HSD29 drills the pilot you tap, not a clearance hole. If you want the screw to pass straight through, you need a 17/64 bit instead.
3) Can I use the Metallics HSD29 on steel, or is it only for wood?
High-speed steel bits like the HSD29 cut mild steel, aluminum, wood, and plastics. It's stocked as an electrical item for drilling enclosures, strut, and sheet metal. For masonry or concrete you need a carbide-tipped hammer bit, not an HSS twist drill.
4) Is the HSD29 a jobber-length bit or a short stubby bit?
At 3-5/8 inches overall, the HSD29 is jobber length for 13/64, which is the common length for electrical panel and strut work. If you're drilling in a tight ceiling cavity or inside a box, a stub-length bit gives you more room.
5) Do I need to order a pack of 10 or can I buy a single 13/64 bit?
The HSD29 ships as a 10-piece pouch, so it's a multi-bit pack rather than a single bit. That suits crews and MRO stockrooms that break 13/64 regularly in sheet metal; for a one-off hole it's more bits than the job needs.
