Metallics HSD3 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size drill bit is the Metallics HSD3, and how long is it?
The HSD3 is a 3/32 inch high-speed twist drill with an overall length of 2-1/4 inches. It is a jobber-style bit for small pilot holes, anchor holes, and sheet metal work on an electrical install.
2) How many drill bits come in a pack of Metallics HSD3?
Ten bits per pack, supplied in a pouch. That is the ordering unit, so one order gets you a ten-pack rather than a single bit, which is why electricians keep these on the van for the sizes that snap most often.
3) Is a 3/32 high-speed steel twist drill the right bit for drilling metal, or do I need a cobalt or masonry bit?
High-speed steel is the general-purpose choice for steel, aluminum, plastic, and wood, and that is what the HSD3 is. It is not a masonry bit, so it won't drill concrete, block, or brick, and for hardened or stainless stock a cobalt bit holds an edge longer. For normal panel, strut, and sheet-metal drilling at 3/32 inch, HSS is the standard pick.
4) Will a 3/32 bit work as a pilot for self-tapping screws and small anchors in an electrical rough-in?
Yes, 3/32 inch is one of the common pilot sizes for #6 and #8 sheet metal and self-tapping screws into steel boxes, enclosures, and strut, and for small plastic anchors in drywall. The 2-1/4 inch overall length keeps it stiff, which matters at this diameter since thin bits walk and snap when they run long.
5) What part number do I order for the Metallics 3/32 inch twist drill ten-pack?
Order Metallics HSD3. That is the manufacturer part number for the 3/32 inch by 2-1/4 inch high-speed twist drill supplied ten to a pouch, and it is the only configuration the model covers, so there is no size or finish option to specify.
