Metallics HSD24RE – Frequently Asked Questions
1) How deep a hole can I drill with the Metallics HSD24RE 7/16 inch bit?
Overall length is 4 inches, and part of that is held in the chuck, so plan on drilling through material noticeably thinner than 4 inches. For a typical electrical rough-in through steel studs, strut, or a panel wall it is enough; for deep through-boring in heavy timber you want a longer bit or an auger.
2) Is the Metallics HSD24RE a bright finish or black oxide bit, and does that matter for drilling steel?
It is a bright-finish high-speed steel bit. Bright HSS cuts cleanly in mild steel, aluminum, and brass and is the common choice for general electrical work; it has no oxide or coating to help with heat, so run moderate speed and use cutting oil when you are going through thicker structural steel.
3) How many drill bits come in a pack of the Metallics HSD24RE?
One bit per pack, supplied in a pouch. If you are stocking a crew or a van, order by the piece count you need rather than expecting a multi-size set.
4) What size knockout or conduit hole does a 7/16 inch twist bit suit in electrical work?
At 7/16 inch, the HSD24RE is the size electricians reach for to open pilot and fastener holes rather than conduit openings. It is a standard clearance size for 3/8 inch bolts and threaded rod hangers in strut and steel, which is the main reason it sits in an electrical supplies line rather than a machinist set.
