Metallics HSD9E – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size hole does the Metallics HSD9E twist drill bit make?
The HSD9E is a 3/16 inch diameter bit, so it cuts a 3/16 inch hole. That is the common pilot size for lag screws and anchors on electrical rough-in work, and it also clears a #10 screw shank in metal.
2) Will the Metallics HSD9E drill masonry or concrete?
No. It's a high-speed steel twist bit for metal, wood, and plastic. Concrete, block, and brick need a carbide-tipped masonry bit in a hammer drill. Using this bit in masonry will dull the cutting edges immediately.
3) How long is the Metallics HSD9E drill bit, and how deep can it drill?
Overall length is 3-1/2 inches. Part of that is taken up by the shank in the chuck, so usable drilling depth is less than the full 3-1/2 inches. For through-drilling thicker material or reaching into a stud bay, step up to a longer aircraft-length or extension bit.
4) Is the HSD9E a bright finish or coated bit, and what does that mean for drilling steel?
It's a bright finish high-speed steel bit, meaning no black oxide or titanium coating. Bright HSS cuts well in wood, plastic, aluminum, and mild steel. Use cutting oil and moderate speed in steel, since an uncoated bit runs hotter than a coated one.
5) How many bits come in the Metallics HSD9E pack?
One bit per pack, supplied in a pouch. If you're stocking a van or a shop crib and want spares of 3/16 inch on hand, order multiples rather than expecting a set.
6) What part number do I order for a 3/16 inch Metallics drill bit?
Order Metallics HSD9E. That designation covers the 3/16 inch, 3-1/2 inch overall length, bright finish high-speed twist bit, sold one per pouch.
