Product Description
Milwaukee 1/4 in. x 4 in. Carbide Tipped Pilot Bit
Model Number: 49-56-8005
The Milwaukee 49-56-8005 is a 1/4 in. x 4 in. Carbide Tipped Pilot Bit for Milwaukee hole saw arbors — a premium carbide-tipped replacement pilot bit for Milwaukee arbors that use the 1/4 in. pilot bit specification. The carbide tip on this pilot bit provides significantly greater durability than the standard high-speed steel pilot bit in hard materials — carbide's superior hardness and wear resistance maintain the point geometry through repeated contact with hard aggregate in concrete, embedded fasteners in wood, and hard metal surfaces where HSS pilot bits dull quickly and require frequent replacement. For contractors who regularly drill through hard or mixed materials where pilot bit wear is the primary maintenance issue, the carbide tipped pilot bit's longer service life between replacements directly reduces the replacement frequency and total pilot bit cost over the hole saw arbor's service life.
The 1/4 in. specification matches Milwaukee hole saw arbors that use the 1/4 in. pilot bit format — including the large arbor (49-56-7040) and other Milwaukee arbor designs in this pilot specification. The 4 in. length provides adequate pilot pin reach for the Milwaukee arbor systems designed for this bit length. The hex shank allows the pilot bit to be ejected from behind the hole saw after the cut is started for easier core plug removal. Verify compatibility with your specific Milwaukee arbor model before ordering to confirm the carbide tipped pilot bit's specification matches the arbor and application requirements.
