Metallics HSD916E – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size hole does the Metallics HSD916E twist drill bit cut?
The HSD916E cuts a 9/16 inch hole. Overall length is 8-1/4 inches, so it reaches through deeper assemblies than a standard jobber-length bit of the same diameter.
2) Will the 8-1/4 inch HSD916E fit a standard drill chuck?
The HSD916E is a 9/16 inch diameter bit, which exceeds the 1/2 inch capacity of most common drill chucks. You need a chuck rated to take the shank diameter, so confirm your drill before ordering, or use a reduced-shank bit if your tool tops out at 1/2 inch.
3) How many drill bits come in a Metallics HSD916E pack?
One bit per pack, supplied in a pouch. If you are drilling a run of 9/16 inch holes and expect to dull or snap a bit, order multiples.
4) Is a 9/16 inch twist bit the right tool for drilling through a steel electrical box or strut?
A high-speed steel twist bit like the HSD916E is intended for solid drilling in metal and wood. For thin sheet steel in boxes and enclosures a step bit or hole saw gives a cleaner hole with less grabbing; the twist bit is the better choice when you are going through solid stock or need the 8-1/4 inch reach.
5) Is the Metallics HSD916E a bright finish or black oxide bit?
Bright finish high-speed steel. Bright bits are uncoated, which is the common choice for general drilling in wood and mild steel with cutting fluid; black oxide adds a surface treatment for added lubricity in dry steel work.
