Product Description
Milwaukee 2-3/4 in. Pilot Drill for Annular Cutter Arbors
Model Number: 49-57-0038
The Milwaukee 49-57-0038 is a 2-3/4 in. Pilot Drill for use with Milwaukee annular cutter arbor systems — a replacement pilot bit for the arbor systems that use a 2-3/4 in. drill bit format for centering the annular cutter at the marked hole location before the cutter begins its ring-shaped kerf in structural steel and fabricated metal assemblies. Unlike the spring-loaded retractable pilot pins used in standard annular cutter arbors, a pilot drill format provides centering through a fixed drill bit that drills a pilot hole at the center of the intended cut — the pilot hole both centers the cutter during initial engagement and provides the ejection path for the center plug after the cut is completed. The 2-3/4 in. length specification matches the arbor design and annular cutter depth this pilot format is paired with in compatible Milwaukee annular cutter systems.
Pilot drill replacement is needed when the drill point dulls from repeated contact with structural steel surfaces, is physically damaged, or is lost from the arbor system during cutter changes. Using the correct 2-3/4 in. replacement maintains the centering accuracy and plug ejection geometry the arbor system requires for precise hole location and clean plug removal in structural steel drilling operations. Apply Hawg Wash cutting lubricant during annular cutter use to extend both cutter and pilot drill service life in steel. Verify compatibility with your specific Milwaukee annular cutter arbor model before ordering.
