The Greenlee 625-001 is a replaceable pilot drill bit engineered for use with Greenlee carbide hole cutters, specifically the 625-3/4 and 625-2 sizes. Built from durable cobalt steel with a 1/4 IN bit diameter, this pilot drill features a split-point tip design that eliminates the need for a center punch and resists walking when starting a cut. Electricians and installers rely on this pilot drill to produce fast, accurate, high-quality holes in stainless steel, copper, aluminum, and steel during panel, enclosure, and box fabrication work.

Greenlee 625-001 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Which Greenlee carbide hole cutters does the 625-001 pilot drill fit?
The Greenlee 625-001 pilot drill is made for the Greenlee 625-3/4 and 625-2 carbide hole cutters. It is a 1/4 inch bit sized to those cutter arbors, so it is a matched replacement part rather than a general-purpose drill bit. If your cutter is a different Greenlee size, this is not the pilot for it.
2) Can I replace just the pilot drill on my Greenlee carbide hole cutter instead of buying a new cutter?
Yes. The 625-001 is sold as a replaceable component, so when the pilot walks, dulls, or snaps you swap the drill and keep using the carbide hole cutter body. That is the point of the part: crews running 625-3/4 and 625-2 cutters keep spares on the truck rather than scrapping the whole assembly.
3) Do I need to center punch before drilling with the Greenlee 625-001 pilot drill?
No center punch needed. The 625-001 uses a split-point tip, which bites on contact and resists walking across the sheet metal when you start the cut. That matters most on slick stainless and on vertical enclosure faces where a punch is awkward.
4) What metals will the Greenlee 625-001 cobalt pilot drill handle?
Cobalt steel construction, rated by Greenlee for stainless steel, copper, aluminum, and steel. That covers typical panel, enclosure, and electrical box fabrication work, including stainless cabinets where a standard HSS pilot gives up quickly.
5) What keeps the pilot from drilling too deep into the back of an enclosure?
A built-in flange stop on the 625-001 limits how far the pilot can advance, so you get repeatable depth and the bit does not punch past the panel into whatever is behind it. Useful when you are cutting into a mounted enclosure with gear already inside.
6) Can I substitute a standard twist drill bit for the Greenlee 625-001?
No. The 625-001 is a replaceable pilot drill built around a carbide hole cutter assembly: it includes a flange stop that prevents over-drilling and is dimensioned for the Greenlee 625-3/4 and 625-2 cutters so the pilot indexes the cut. A plain jobber twist bit of the same 1/4 inch diameter has no flange stop and no defined seating length in the cutter. If you need a dedicated pilot rather than a Greenlee-matched one, the Minerallac 86514 is a 1/4 inch pilot drill at 3-1/16 inches overall.
