Metallics QB26 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size hole does the Metallics QB26 Quik-Bit wood bit drill, and how deep can it reach?
The QB26 is a 5/8 inch flat wood boring bit with a 16 inch overall length, so it bores a 5/8 inch hole and the extra length lets you reach through a stud bay or drill angled holes through multiple framing members without a separate extension. It ships one bit per pouch.
2) Will a 5/8 inch bit give me enough room to pull NM cable through a wood stud?
A 5/8 inch bore is the common size electricians use for pulling one or two runs of NM-B through wood framing, and the QB26 cuts exactly that. For heavier bundles or larger conduit you want a bigger diameter flat bit rather than this one.
3) Can I use the Metallics QB26 on metal studs or masonry?
No. The QB26 is a flat wood bit, ground for boring wood framing and similar soft material. Metal studs call for a step bit or hole saw, and masonry needs a carbide-tipped hammer bit.
4) Is a 16 inch flat bit the right choice for drilling through two or three studs in a row?
Yes, that is what the extra length on the QB26 is for. At 16 inches overall you can bore through stacked top plates or reach across a bay from a single access point, where a standard 6 inch flat bit would bottom out. If you need to go deeper still, a bit extension or a long auger is the next step up.
5) Does the 16 inch Quik-Bit fit a standard drill chuck or does it need an impact driver?
Flat wood bits in the Quik-Bit line use a hex shank, which seats in a standard three-jaw drill chuck and also drops straight into a 1/4 inch hex impact driver or drill/driver collet. No adapter is needed either way.
6) How many bits come in the Metallics QB26?
One bit, supplied in a pouch. If you are stocking a crew or a service van, order a quantity to match, since each QB26 is a single 5/8 inch by 16 inch bit rather than a set.
