Metallics QB15 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size hole does the Metallics QB15 Quik-Bit wood bit drill?
The QB15 is a 1-1/4 inch flat (spade) wood boring bit with a 6 inch overall length. That hole size is the common one electricians bore through studs and plates for pulling multiple cables or running 1 inch conduit sleeves through wood framing.
2) Will a 6 inch spade bit reach through a doubled top plate?
At 6 inches overall, the QB15 gives you cutting depth plus shank for the chuck, so it handles single 2x framing and a doubled 2x4 top plate (3 inches of material) without trouble. For boring deeper than that, or through built-up headers, step up to a bit extension or a longer auger instead of forcing a 6 inch flat bit.
3) Is the QB15 a flat spade bit or an auger bit?
It's a flat bit, also called a spade or paddle bit. Flat bits clear fast and cheap in soft wood framing and are the usual choice for rough-in rope-pulling holes. If you're boring long, deep, chip-clearing holes or need a self-feeding pull through thick stock, a ship auger is the better tool.
4) Can I use the QB15 Quik-Bit for metal studs or masonry?
No. The QB15 is a wood boring bit, intended for lumber and wood framing. For steel studs use a step bit or hole saw rated for sheet metal, and for block or concrete use a masonry bit. Running a flat wood bit into metal or masonry will wreck the cutting edge on the first hole.
5) How many bits come with Metallics QB15 and how is it packaged?
One bit per order, supplied in a pouch. Buy by the piece when you only need the 1-1/4 inch size; if you're stocking a van or a shop crib, order multiples of the same part number rather than expecting a set.
