Milwaukee 49-56-8010 Hss Pilot Drill Bit 10 Pack

Product Description

The Milwaukee Electric Tool 49-56-8010 is a high speed steel (HSS) pilot drill bit sized at 0.25 inches in diameter and 3.5 inches in overall length. Pilot bits are used to guide hole saws and step bits into position, maintaining center accuracy and reducing bit walking on hard or coated surfaces. This unit is sold as a pack of 10, making it a practical stock item for trade professionals who run pilot bits through high-cycle use. HSS construction handles ferrous metals, wood, and composite materials common in HVAC, electrical, and plumbing rough-in work.

This pilot bit is well suited to residential and light commercial applications where frequent hole saw use is standard, such as drilling through sheet metal ductwork, electrical enclosures, wood framing, and sub-panels. At 3.5 inches long, it provides adequate reach for most standard hole saw depths encountered in trade work. The 10-piece pack quantity supports jobsite inventory management and reduces downtime from a single worn or broken bit.

Key Features

• High speed steel construction for durability on ferrous and non-ferrous materials
• 0.25 inch diameter fits standard hole saw arbors designed for 0.25 inch pilot bits
• 3.5 inch length provides full reach through typical hole saw cutting depths
• 10-piece unit of measure allows bulk stocking for high-cycle trades
• Compact individual bit weight supports use in standard drill/driver chucks without added imbalance

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement pilot drill bit for use with hole saw arbors accepting a 0.25 inch pilot bit shank, typical in residential and light commercial drilling applications.

Installation Notes

Pilot bits should be installed by a qualified tradesperson familiar with rotary cutting tools and appropriate drill/driver or hole saw arbor systems. Ensure the drill is powered off and the chuck is fully secured before inserting or removing the bit. Inspect the pilot bit for wear, chipping, or deformation before each use, and replace immediately if damage is found. Follow applicable OSHA safety standards for rotary tool operation, including appropriate eye and hand protection.
