Metallics HSD14E – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size hole does the Metallics HSD14E twist drill bit make?
The HSD14E is a 9/32 inch diameter high-speed twist drill bit, so it cuts a nominal 9/32 inch hole. Overall length is 4-1/4 inches. That diameter is a common clearance size for 1/4 inch bolts and screws, where a 1/4 inch bit would bind.
2) How many drill bits come in a Metallics HSD14E pack?
One bit per pack, supplied in a pouch. If you are drilling production quantities of 9/32 inch holes, order multiples rather than expecting a set.
3) Can I use the HSD14E high-speed twist drill bit on steel?
Yes. It is a high-speed steel twist drill, which is the standard bit type for mild steel, sheet metal, strut, enclosures, and aluminum as well as wood and plastic. The finish is bright (uncoated), so use cutting oil on steel to keep the cutting edge from overheating.
4) Is the HSD14E bright finish or black oxide, and does it matter?
Bright, meaning uncoated and polished rather than black oxide or titanium coated. Bright flutes clear chips well in aluminum and softer material. For repeated drilling in harder steel, a coated bit holds its edge longer, so pick black oxide or TiN for that work.
5) How deep can I drill with a 4-1/4 inch twist bit like the HSD14E?
Overall length is 4-1/4 inches, and part of that sits in the chuck, so usable flute depth is shorter than the full length. It handles typical electrical work (strut, panel backs, junction box mounting, wood studs) but it is not an installer or auger-length bit for drilling through a stud bay or multiple framing members.
