Product Description
Milwaukee 1/4 in. x 4 in. HSS Pilot Bit — 12 Pack
Model Number: 49-56-8031
The Milwaukee 49-56-8031 is a 12-pack of 1/4 in. x 4 in. High Speed Steel Pilot Bits for Milwaukee hole saw arbors — replacement and spare pilot bits for Milwaukee arbors that use the 1/4 in. pilot bit specification for centering hole saws on the marked hole location during cutting. The pilot bit is the centering and starting point for every hole saw cut — it contacts the work surface at the exact marked hole center to establish the correct cutting path before the hole saw's teeth engage the material. Without a properly functioning pilot bit, the hole saw has no centering reference and wanders across the work surface during initial engagement, producing off-center holes that may not fit the box, fixture, or fitting being installed through the opening. The 12-pack provides a substantial replacement supply for contractors who use hole saws at high volume, where pilot bits are consumed through contact with embedded nails, plate steel, and other hard materials that dull the pilot bit's point before the hole saw body wears out.
Milwaukee manufactures these pilot bits from high speed steel for the hardness and wear resistance needed at the 1/4 in. pilot specification through sustained hole saw production use. The 4 in. length provides adequate reach for the Milwaukee arbor systems that use this pilot bit format. The hex shank allows the pilot bit to be ejected from behind the hole saw after the hole saw has started its cut kerf for easier plug removal. The 12-pack stocking quantity ensures a fresh pilot bit is always available for immediate replacement when the working pilot dulls, without the supply interruptions of single-bit replacement purchasing.
