Ideal Industries 36-575 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Which IDEAL arbor does the 36-575 pilot bit fit?
The IDEAL 36-575 pilot bit is made for the 36-570 arbor. It drops into that arbor as the center pilot for hole saw cutting, so if you are running a different arbor, confirm it takes a 1/4 inch shank pilot before ordering.
2) My hole saw pilot bit snapped drilling studs. Is this the replacement?
If you are running an IDEAL 36-570 arbor, yes. The 36-575 is sold as the replacement pilot for that arbor, so you can keep the arbor and hole saw and just swap the broken pilot instead of buying the whole assembly.
3) What size is the IDEAL 36-575 replacement pilot bit?
It measures 4-1/8 inches by 1/4 inch. The 1/4 inch diameter is what seats in the arbor's pilot collar, and the 4-1/8 inch length gives you enough lead ahead of the hole saw teeth to center the cut before the saw bites.
4) Is the IDEAL 36-575 pilot bit high-speed steel or carbide?
High-speed steel. That suits it to wood studs, plastic and sheet metal work typical of electrical rough-in; for masonry you want a carbide-tipped setup, not this one.
5) What do I order to replace a broken pilot on an IDEAL hole saw kit?
Order IDEAL part 36-575, the 4-1/8 inch by 1/4 inch replacement pilot bit for the 36-570 arbor. It is a single-model item, so there is no finish, length or shank option to specify.
6) Does this pilot bit walk when you start a hole on a stud or panel?
It uses a split point, which starts cutting on contact rather than skating across the surface. That matters most on smooth sheet metal and on overhead or awkward-angle drilling where you cannot lean into the bit to keep it centered.
