Freud DHS4BITCT Carbide Tipped Hole Saw Pilot Bit 5 Pack

Product Description

The FREUD DHS4BITCT is a carbide tipped hex shank pilot bit designed for use with Freud Diablo hole saw arbors. Measuring 0.25 inches in diameter and 3.875 inches in overall length, this pilot bit guides hole saws cleanly through a wide range of materials including wood, plastic, aluminum, metal, and stainless steel.

This pilot bit is suited for use in residential and light commercial applications where hole saws are used for tasks such as drilling through door locksets, electrical rough-in, plumbing penetrations, and HVAC ductwork. It is a direct replacement hex shank pilot for Freud Diablo hole saw arbor assemblies. The 5-count pack makes it practical for service vans and job-site kits where pilot bit wear and loss are common factors.

Installation Notes
