Metallics NHSD27 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size hole does a number 27 wire gauge twist drill make?
A No. 27 wire gauge drill is a 0.144 inch diameter bit, which is the standard tap size drill for an 8-32 machine screw thread. Electricians use it for drilling boxes, enclosures and strut for 8-32 screws. Overall length on the NHSD27 is 3 inches.
2) Will a high-speed steel twist drill like the NHSD27 cut steel enclosures and strut?
High-speed steel is the right material for sheet steel boxes, enclosures, strut and aluminum, and that is what the NHSD27 is made from. It is not the bit for concrete or masonry, where you need a carbide-tipped hammer drill bit, and it is not a step bit, so for large knockout-size holes in panel sheet metal use a step drill or hole saw instead.
3) How many drill bits come in the Metallics NHSD27 pack?
The Metallics NHSD27 is sold as a 10-piece pack of high-speed twist drills, supplied in a pouch rather than loose or in a case. One order code, NHSD27, covers the whole pack.
4) Is the Metallics NHSD27 a jobber length drill bit?
At 3 inches overall, the No. 27 high-speed twist drill is a jobber-length bit, the common general-purpose length that fits any standard chuck. If you need to reach through a deep enclosure or drill at depth in a stud bay, a jobber bit will not get there and you want an extended or aircraft-length drill instead.
