Lenox 30879 35PD Stubby Pilot Drill

Product Description

The LENOX 30879 is a stubby pilot drill designed for use with hole saws and bi-metal cutting tools. The stubby design provides a shorter shank profile compared to standard pilot drills, reducing flex and improving stability during hole saw operations. Model code 35PD identifies this specific configuration within the LENOX pilot drill lineup. It is sold as a single unit and is the type of consumable replacement part that electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general contractors keep on hand when pilot bits wear out or break during production work.

This pilot drill is suited for trade professionals who regularly run hole saws through wood, metal, or composite materials. The compact stubby geometry makes it a practical choice in confined spaces where a longer pilot drill would bind or deflect. It is intended as a direct replacement component for compatible LENOX hole saw arbor assemblies and is commonly stocked by service technicians who perform repetitive drilling tasks on the job site or in the shop.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by trade professionals familiar with hole saw arbor assemblies.

Secure the pilot drill firmly in the arbor chuck or set screw per the arbor manufacturer's instructions. Inspect the new pilot drill for any damage before resuming cutting operations.
