Metallics AS118 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size hole does the Metallics AS118 ship auger bit drill?
The AS118 ship auger cuts a 1-1/8 inch diameter hole in wood. Overall length is 8 inches, so it suits boring through standard framing members and plates rather than deep timber runs.
2) Will the Metallics AS118 auger bit chuck into an impact driver?
Yes. The AS118 has a hex shank, so it locks into the 1/4 inch quick-change collet of an impact driver or cordless drill rather than needing a three-jaw keyed chuck. That is the usual setup for electricians boring studs and joists overhead, where a round-shank bit tends to slip.
3) Is a 1-1/8 inch ship auger big enough for the conduit or cable I am running through studs?
A 1-1/8 inch bore clears common electrical runs through framing: multiple NM cables, or 1/2 inch and 3/4 inch conduit, which have outside diameters under 1-1/8 inches. If you need to pass 1 inch EMT, step up to a larger auger, since the 1 inch trade size runs wider than this hole.
4) Ship auger or self-feed bit for boring wood studs and joists?
A ship auger like the AS118 has a single long flute that pulls chips back out of the hole, so it clears nail-embedded framing and deep bores better and runs more controlled in a handheld tool. A self-feed bit cuts a larger hole faster but grabs hard and wants a big right-angle drill. For routine 1-1/8 inch penetrations through studs and plates, the auger is the simpler choice.
5) How many bits come in the Metallics AS118?
One bit per order. The AS118 is sold as a single piece in a pouch, not as a multi-size auger set, so order one per diameter you need on the job.
