About this deal

At worst you could burst open a water pipe and flood your basement, or even take out an entire electrical circuit, causing thousands of dollars in damages. Always make sure there is nothing behind the joist before you cut. When You Can See If you have a ¼ inch piece of wire, for instance, by all means, use a ½ inch drill bit so feeding the wire through is easy. However, you certainly do not want to make a 1-inch hole in this situation, regardless of how tall the joist is. The bigger the hole, the less opportunity you have in the future to add more holes should they be required on another project.

It is generally accepted, within the construction industry, that when dealing with simply supported1, solid timber joists not greater than 250 mm in depth, adherence to the following guidance means that the effect of notches and holes need not be calculated (see Fig 3).The DeWALT 20V Stud and Joist Drill has two handles, each ergonomically designed for their specific function. The main handle has a rubber overmold for a comfortable grip. The top handle has a comfortable design for laying on top of the tool. These two handles provide a secure hold and offer a lot of control over the device when in use.

Drill 1-1/2-in. holes anywhere in the web area of engineered I-joists, except within 6 in. of walls and rim joists. Where the property contains metal web joists as shown in Fig 2, no notching, drilling or cutting in either the timber flanges or the steel webs is permitted. These types of joists are engineered and their structural performance relies upon their integrity not being compromised. Solid timber joists Not less than 3 diameters (centre-tocentre) apart; and located between 0.25 and 0.4 times the span from the support. the tool is not an Air Compressor/ Air Tool, a Battery/ Charger, an Accessory, or a Petrol or Production Tool DeWALT thinks they can do it all with power, performance, durability, and now safety. Let’s see if they can. DeWALT 20V Stud and Joist Drill OverviewThe DeWALT 20V Stud and Joist Drill (DCD444B) is sold as a bare tool. We paired ours with a DeWALT 20V MAX* 5Ah battery. It weighs in at 11.3-lbs. and is 18.54″L x 8.9″W x 5.59″H. There are a lot of different reasons why you may be considering drilling through your floor joists. While the amount of home improvement options is limitless, drilling through floor joists is necessitated by the installation of: As part of any new installation work or a re-wire, a cable, trunking or cable tray sometimes has to pass through an element of building construction, such as a floor, wall or beam, necessitating the formation of a notch or opening in the element.

To do this, follow where the joist ends up and unscrew it from each end. This may necessitate remove anything attached to the joist, like light fixtures and visible wiring, or sometimes other studs. DeWALT has a reputation for creating tools that are powerful, durable, and long-lasting. They also continue to be recognized for their safety-driven innovations.

Also efficient at drilling a pilot hole if you just want to see how dense the wood is first before drilling your main, larger hole. Why, you ask? By design, a notch interferes with a joist’s ability to distribute weight. As discussed earlier, weight from the floorboard above is distributed around the hole and eventually to the beams on the side.

Just remember: the better the quality, the cleaner the cut and less damage to you floor joists: Make sure not to install joists so they run parallel to, and directly under, walls where you intend to install ductwork.

No greater diameter than 0.25 times the depth of the joist; should be drilled at the neutral axis2 ; and

You can notch and bore joists without sacrificing critical strength, but you must follow the rules. Drilling along the middle line here, of course, would be less than ideal. Instead, simply move your intended hole slightly up or down so that it is 2 inches away from any existing obstacle. And most importantly, do enter the bottom or top two inches of the joist.
