Metallics NHSD16 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size hole does a number 16 twist drill bit make?
A 16 is a wire-gauge drill size, not a fractional size, and it runs just under 3/16 inch. The Metallics NHSD16 is that gauge in a 3-3/8 inch overall length high-speed steel twist drill. If your print calls out a fractional 3/16 or a letter size, order that designation instead rather than assuming the 16 gauge substitutes.
2) How many drill bits come in the Metallics NHSD16 pack?
The NHSD16 high-speed twist drill ships as a 10-piece pack of the same size 16 wire-gauge bit, 3-3/8 inches long overall, supplied in a pouch. It is a quantity pack of one size, not an assortment, so it suits a shop or van stocking a single repeat-use size rather than a set covering a range.
3) Can I use the Metallics NHSD16 twist drill on steel strut and electrical enclosures?
High-speed steel twist drills are the normal choice for sheet metal, steel strut, enclosure walls and junction box knockout cleanup, and this one is stocked as electrical-trade consumable. The limit is depth: at 3-3/8 inches overall the usable flute length is shorter than that, so it is for thin stock and shallow holes, not deep drilling through built-up material.
4) Is the NHSD16 a masonry or concrete bit?
No. It is a high-speed steel twist drill for metal and general-purpose drilling, with no carbide tip. For concrete, block or brick you need a carbide-tipped masonry bit or an SDS hammer bit instead.
