Greenlee 50398938 High-Speed Steel Pilot Drill Bit, 1/4 IN Replacement

The Greenlee 50398938 is a High-Speed Steel Pilot Drill designed as a replacement pilot bit for use with compatible hole saw and cutting arbor systems. Built with a 1/4 IN bit diameter and an overall length of 3-1/4 IN, this pilot drill delivers the centering accuracy electricians and installers rely on when starting clean, precise holes in metal, wood, and other common jobsite materials. Manufactured in the United States, this Greenlee pilot drill is engineered as a Pilot, Replacement type component, making it easy to keep hole saw kits and cutting arbors in service without replacing the entire assembly. Whether servicing an electrical panel enclosure, a junction box, or a cabinet, this small but critical part restores accuracy to a hole-cutting system that would otherwise need full replacement due to a worn or damaged pilot tip.

Greenlee 50398938 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Which Greenlee arbors does the 50398938 pilot drill fit?
The Greenlee 50398938 pilot drill is made for Greenlee arbors #37154, #37155, #37156 and #38522. If your hole cutter arbor is one of those four, this is the replacement pilot. Any other arbor is not covered.
2) My pilot drill snapped in the middle of a panel job, can I just replace the pilot instead of the whole cutter?
Yes, that's exactly what this part is for. Greenlee sells the 1/4 inch high-speed steel pilot as a standalone replacement, so a broken or dulled pilot doesn't mean buying a new arbor or cutter, as long as your arbor is #37154, #37155, #37156 or #38522.
3) Is the Greenlee 50398938 pilot drill high-speed steel or carbide?
High-speed steel. That suits it to steel, aluminum and other common electrical enclosure and panel materials, and it can be resharpened. For abrasive material like stainless at volume, a carbide-tipped pilot is the better tool.
4) How many pilot drills come in a pack of Greenlee 50398938?
It ships in standard packaging under a single part number, 50398938, ordered as one item. For crews that break pilots regularly, order the quantity you want to keep on the truck.
