Milwaukee 49-56-8000 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Which length pilot bit do I need for a deep hole saw cut?
Go with the 1/4 x 4 inch (49-56-8000). The extra half inch over the 3-1/2 inch version (49-56-8010) gives more pilot engagement ahead of the saw teeth, which keeps the cut centered on thicker stock. For shallow work in thin material the 3-1/2 inch is enough.
2) Will this Milwaukee pilot bit slip in the arbor or drill chuck?
It has a 3-flat shank, which gives the chuck jaws or arbor setscrew flat surfaces to bite on instead of a round shank that can spin under load. That matters when a hole saw grabs in steel or hardwood.
3) Is a high speed steel pilot bit going to survive hole saw work, or do I need something heavier?
This one is HSS with a THUNDERBOLT tapered web, meaning the web thickens toward the shank to resist snapping, which is the usual failure mode on a pilot bit that takes side load inside an arbor. The parabolic flute also clears chips faster so the bit does not pack and overheat in deeper cuts.
4) Is this a replacement pilot bit for a hole saw arbor?
Yes, it is a 1/4 inch shank HSS pilot bit sized to drop into a hole saw arbor, with the 3-flat shank so the arbor setscrew locks it. Electricians and maintenance crews typically keep spares of both the 4 inch and 3-1/2 inch on the truck since the pilot is the part that breaks first.
