Metallics AS112 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size hole does the Metallics AS112 ship auger bit drill?
The AS112 ship auger drills a 1-1/2 inch diameter hole in wood. Overall it is an 8 inch bit, so usable drilling depth is less than that once the shank is in the chuck. It ships as a single bit in a pouch.
2) Will the AS112 auger bit fit an impact driver or does it need a drill chuck?
It has a hex shank, so it drops straight into a quick-change impact driver or an impact wrench adapter as well as a standard three-jaw drill chuck. At 1-1/2 inch cutting diameter you want a tool with real low-speed torque and a side handle if you are using a drill.
3) Is a ship auger the right bit for running conduit or cable through wood studs?
Yes, that is what it is for. A ship auger has a single-spur cutting head and an open flute that clears chips while boring deep in solid wood, so it keeps cutting in framing and timber where a spade bit stalls or wanders. The 1-1/2 inch size is the common one for pulling multiple cables or a run of smaller conduit through studs and joists. For clean flat-bottomed holes in finish material, use a Forstner bit instead.
4) Can I use the AS112 wood auger on nail-embedded lumber or metal studs?
No. It is a wood bit, and a 1-1/2 inch ship auger spur will chip or dull on a nail or a screw. For remodel work where you expect embedded fasteners, use a nail-eating auger or a bi-metal hole saw; for steel studs, use a hole saw or a step drill.
5) Does the Metallics AS112 come as a set or a single bit?
One bit per pouch. The AS112 is sold as a single 1-1/2 inch ship auger, not a graduated set, so order the other diameters separately if you need a range on the truck.
