Milwaukee Tool 49-59-0015 Retractable Pilot Pin Tct Annular

Product Description

The MILWAUKEE TOOL 49-59-0015 is a steel retractable pilot pin designed for use with small-diameter TCT (tungsten carbide tipped) annular cutters. The pin functions as a plug ejection device, automatically pushing out the slug after each cut to keep the cutter clear and ready for the next hole. It fits cutters in the 9/16 inch to 11/16 inch diameter range and is sized with an outside diameter of 0.34 inches. Licensed electricians, ironworkers, and metal fabricators typically use this type of pilot pin when drilling through structural steel, plate, or conduit bodies with a magnetic drill press or handheld annular cutter arbor.

This pilot pin is suited for applications where small TCT annular cutters are used on ferrous metals in residential, commercial, and industrial settings. The retractable spring-loaded design allows the pin to retract on contact with the workpiece and extend after breakthrough to eject the slug without manual intervention. It is a direct consumable component of the annular cutter tooling system and is sold as a single-piece replacement unit, making it practical for field restocking when the original pin is lost or damaged.

Key Features

• Compatible with 9/16 inch to 11/16 inch carbide tipped annular cutters
• Retractable pin design automatically ejects the slug after each cutSteel construction for durability in metal-cutting applications
• Outside diameter of 0.34 inches for precise fitment in compatible cutter arbors
• Sold as a single replacement pin, no additional hardware required

Compatibility

Designed for use with 9/16 inch to 11/16 inch carbide tipped annular cutters requiring a 0.34 inch outside diameter retractable pilot pin, consistent with small-format TCT cutter arbor specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by electricians, ironworkers, or metal fabrication professionals. Before replacing the pilot pin, ensure the magnetic drill or cutter arbor is fully powered down and unplugged. Insert the pin into the cutter arbor according to the cutter manufacturer's seating procedure and verify the pin retracts and extends freely before resuming drilling operations. Do not use a pilot pin that shows visible deformation, as a bent pin can cause cutter runout and unsafe slug ejection.
