Metallics QB5 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size hole does the Metallics QB5 Quik-Bit wood bit drill, and how deep can it reach?
The QB5 is a 1/2 inch flat (spade) wood bit with a 6 inch overall length, so it bores a 1/2 inch hole and gives you enough reach to get through a standard wood stud and a bit beyond. For deeper runs through doubled plates or built-up framing you'd want a longer bit or an extension.
2) Is the QB5 the right bit for drilling stud bores to pull electrical cable?
Yes, that's the job it's built for. A 1/2 inch flat wood bit at 6 inches is the common size electricians use to bore wood studs and joists for NM cable runs. It's a wood-boring bit only, so it is not for metal studs, masonry, or tile.
3) How many bits come in a Metallics QB5 pack?
One bit per pack, supplied in a pouch. If you're stocking a van or a crew, order per bit rather than expecting a multi-size set.
4) Will the QB5 wood bit fit a standard cordless drill chuck?
It's a flat spade-type wood bit, which comes with a hex shank that seats in a standard three-jaw drill chuck and also drops into a 1/4 inch hex quick-change holder or impact driver. No special tooling needed.
5) Should I use a flat spade bit like the QB5 or an auger bit for boring studs?
A flat bit like the QB5 cuts fast and cheap in clean softwood framing and is easy to replace when it dulls. An auger bit pulls itself through with a lead screw and clears chips better, which matters for deep bores, hardwood, or when you're drilling overhead all day. For routine 1/2 inch cable holes in wood studs, the spade bit is the normal choice.
