Metallics HSD58E – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size hole does the Metallics HSD58E twist drill bit cut?
The HSD58E is a 5/8 inch diameter high-speed twist drill bit with an overall length of 8-3/4 inches. The 5/8 inch cutting diameter is the hole size you get; the long flute and shank length let you reach through stacked material or deep into a stud bay where a jobber-length bit bottoms out.
2) Is the HSD58E drill bit a plain uncoated high-speed steel bit or does it have a coating?
Bright finish, which is uncoated high-speed steel. There is no black oxide or titanium coating on it. Bright-finish HSS cuts cleanly in wood and general-purpose steel; if you are drilling abrasive or hardened material all day, a coated bit will hold an edge longer.
3) How many drill bits come in a pack of the Metallics HSD58E?
One bit per pack, supplied in a pouch. If you are stocking a van or a maintenance crib and want spares, order the quantity you need rather than expecting a multi-bit set.
4) Can I use the HSD58E 5/8 inch bit to drill through a steel electrical panel or strut?
High-speed steel handles mild steel, so a 5/8 inch HSS twist bit will cut a panel wall or channel, but keep the speed low and use cutting oil at that diameter or you will burn the edge off a bright-finish bit. For thin sheet metal in an enclosure, a step bit or hole saw gives a rounder hole with less grab than a 5/8 inch twist drill.
5) Is the HSD58E long enough to drill through a doubled 2x top plate for conduit or cable?
At 8-3/4 inches overall it will pass through a doubled 2x top plate (about 3 inches of material) with shank left for the chuck. It is not an auger or installer bit though, so there is no self-feed tip and no hole for pulling wire. For long cable runs through multiple studs, a dedicated installer or auger bit is the better tool.
