Metallics NHSD1E – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will a 1 inch twist drill bit like the Metallics NHSD1E fit a standard 1/2 inch chuck drill?
No, and this is the common mistake. A 1 inch twist drill in high-speed steel carries a large straight shank that will not seat in a 1/2 inch keyless or keyed chuck. Plan on a drill press, a magnetic base drill, or a heavy right-angle drill with a chuck sized to the shank. If you only have a 1/2 inch cordless drill, a 1 inch hole in wood is better handled with a self-feed or hole saw style cutter that has a reduced 1/2 inch hex or round shank.
2) How many bits come in a Metallics NHSD1E order?
One bit per pouch. The NHSD1E ships as a single 1 inch piece in a pouch, not as part of an index set, so if you are stocking multiple crews or want backups for a long run of 1 inch holes, order the quantity you need up front.
3) Can I use the Metallics NHSD1E 1 inch bit on masonry or concrete block?
No. This is a high-speed steel twist drill, ground for metal, wood, and plastic. Masonry and block need a carbide-tipped hammer bit; running an HSS twist drill into concrete will dull the cutting edges almost immediately.
4) Is the Metallics NHSD1E drill bit coated, and what does the black oxide finish do?
It is a black oxide finished high-speed steel bit. The black oxide adds surface lubricity and corrosion resistance, which reduces friction and chip welding when drilling steel and keeps the bit from rusting in a damp gang box or truck bin.
5) What is the right part number to reorder this Metallics 1 inch twist drill bit?
Order it as Metallics NHSD1E. That is the manufacturer part number for the 1 inch, 3-7/8 inch black oxide high-speed twist drill bit, and it is the only model on the line, so there is no diameter or finish suffix to specify.
