Metallics QB4 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size hole does the Metallics QB4 Quik-Bit drill, and how deep can it go?
The QB4 is a 7/16 inch flat wood boring bit with an overall length of 6 inches. That cutting diameter gives you a 7/16 inch bore, and the 6 inch length lets you bore through a doubled stud or a header without needing an extension. Ordered as a single bit.
2) Will a 7/16 inch wood bit clear the cable I'm pulling through studs?
A 7/16 inch bore from the QB4 flat wood bit is the common electrician's size for running a couple of NM cables or a length of low voltage through wood framing. If you need to pull larger bundles or conduit through the same hole, step up to a bigger spade size instead, since the QB4 only cuts the one 7/16 inch diameter.
3) Is the Metallics QB4 a spade bit or an auger bit?
It's a flat bit, meaning a spade-type wood boring bit rather than a screw-tipped auger. Flat bits cut fast in softwood framing and are cheap to replace; an auger pulls itself through and clears chips better in deep or wet timber. For standard stud and joist drilling with a corded or cordless drill, the flat 7/16 inch QB4 is the usual pick.
4) Can I use the Metallics QB4 wood bit on metal studs or masonry?
No. The QB4 is a wood boring bit only. Drilling steel studs, metal plates, or masonry with it will ruin the cutting edges on the first hole. Use a step bit or hole saw for metal framing and a carbide masonry bit for block and concrete.
5) How does the Metallics QB4 come packaged, and is it sold individually?
One bit per pouch. The QB4 ships as a single piece in a pouch pack, so it suits van restock or grabbing a replacement size rather than buying a full boxed set.
