Metallics BHDM8 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size hole does the Metallics BHDM8 bell hanger bit drill, and how deep can it reach?
The BHDM8 is a 1/2 inch diameter bell hanger bit with an 18 inch overall length, so it will pass through a typical wall assembly, sill plate, or stacked framing in one pass without an extension. The 1/2 inch bore is sized for pulling low-voltage and communication cable through framing.
2) Will the Metallics BHDM8 drill through masonry and block, or is it wood only?
The BHDM8 is carbide tipped, so it cuts wood framing, plaster, block and brick. Carbide tip bell hangers are intended for mixed material through-bores where a wood auger would dull, which is the usual case when you are coming through a sill plate into a foundation wall.
3) What is the fish hole on a bell hanger drill bit used for?
The BHDM8 has a fish hole near the tip. After you bore through, you leave the bit in the hole, feed your pull string or wire through the fish hole, and back the bit out, dragging the wire with it. That saves going back with a separate fish tape on through-bores in framing or masonry.
4) Is a 1/2 inch bell hanger bit the right choice for running low voltage cable through studs?
For a small bundle of low-voltage or communication cable, 1/2 inch is the common bore and the BHDM8 covers it at 18 inches of reach. If you are pulling a heavier bundle or larger conduit-sized runs, step up to a bigger diameter bell hanger; for deeper penetrations than 18 inches you need a longer bit or an extension shank.
5) Does the BHDM8 bell hanger bit come as a single bit or a set?
One bit per order. The BHDM8 is a single 1/2 inch by 18 inch bit supplied in a pouch, not a multi-diameter set, so if you need other diameters for different cable bundles you order those separately.
