Metallics NHSD9 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does the 9 mean on the Metallics NHSD9 twist drill?
It is a wire gauge number, not a fractional inch size. The NHSD9 is a No. 9 gauge high-speed twist drill, which is the sizing system electricians use when a hole has to match a screw or tap size rather than a fractional bit. Overall length is 3-5/8 inches.
2) How many drill bits come in the Metallics NHSD9 pack?
Ten bits per pack, supplied in a pouch rather than a rigid index or case. That makes it a restock quantity for a crew that burns through one size repeatedly, not a mixed assortment, so every bit in the pouch is the same No. 9 size, 3-5/8 inches long.
3) Will a 3-5/8 inch twist drill reach through a stud or a box bracket?
Overall length on the NHSD9 is 3-5/8 inches, and part of that is held in the chuck, so usable depth is less than the stated length. It is a jobber-style length meant for sheet metal, strut, enclosures and box brackets, not for boring through framing. For through-holes in studs or deep assemblies you want a longer bit or an extension.
4) What part number do I order for the Metallics No. 9 twist drill?
The manufacturer part number is NHSD9, from Metallics. It is a single configuration, so there is nothing else to specify when ordering: one model, No. 9 gauge, 3-5/8 inches, ten per pouch.
5) Is the Metallics NHSD9 a high-speed steel bit suitable for drilling metal enclosures?
Yes, it is a high-speed twist drill, which is the standard bit material for steel enclosures, panel sides, strut and sheet metal. It is sold as an electrical-department consumable, which is the work it is stocked for.
