Metallics QB23 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size hole does the Metallics QB23 Quik-Bit wood bit drill?
The QB23 is a 7/16 inch diameter flat (spade) wood bit, so it cuts a 7/16 inch hole in wood framing. That is the common size electricians use for pulling NM cable through studs and joists.
2) Is the Metallics QB23 sold individually or in a multi-pack?
One bit per pouch. The QB23 ships as a single piece in a pouch, so if you are stocking a crew or a van, order the quantity you need rather than expecting a set.
3) Should I use a 7/16 inch flat spade bit or an auger bit for boring studs for wire?
A flat bit like the QB23 is the quick, low-cost choice for soft wood framing where you are drilling clean lumber and clearing the hole fast. An auger self-feeds and tracks better through thick or old timber and nail-prone work, but it is slower to drive and harder on the drill. For routine 7/16 inch cable holes through new studs, the 16 inch flat bit covers it.
4) Is the Metallics QB23 meant for wood only, or can I bore metal studs with it?
Wood only. It is a wood-boring flat bit; for metal studs use a step bit or a knockout punch instead, since a spade bit will skate and dull immediately on steel.
5) Will the QB23 fit a standard cordless drill chuck?
Flat wood bits of this type use a hex shank that seats in a 3/8 or 1/2 inch chuck, and the long 16 inch body means you want a drill with enough torque and a side handle if it binds. Keep the speed moderate and let the spur center the cut.
