Metallics MSTD2086 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the 5/8 inch Metallics stop bit big enough for running NM cable through studs?
A 5/8 inch bore is the common size electricians use for pulling one or two runs of residential NM cable through wood studs and joists. The MSTD2086 gives you that 5/8 inch hole with 12-1/16 inches of usable drilling length, which covers a standard 2x4 or 2x6 stud bay and deeper built-up framing. For heavier bundles of cable or larger conduit, step up to a bigger diameter bit.
2) What is a stop bit and why would an electrician use one instead of a standard auger bit?
A stop bit carries a collar or shoulder that limits how far the bit can advance, so the hole depth is repeatable and you do not blow through the far side of a member or into something behind it. The MSTD2086 gives 12-1/16 inches of usable length at 5/8 inch diameter, which is the setup used for boring cable paths through framing where consistent depth matters more than free-running speed.
3) How many bits come in a pack of the Metallics MSTD2086?
It ships as a single bit, one piece per pouch. If you are outfitting a crew or want spares on a rough-in job, order the quantity you need rather than expecting a multi-pack.
4) When ordering the Metallics MSTD2086, what part number should I give my distributor?
Order it as Metallics MSTD2086. That is the manufacturer part number for the 5/8 inch diameter stop bit with 12-1/16 inches of usable length, and it is the only configuration the model covers.
