Replacement Pilot Drill · 1/4 in x 2 in · For TKO Carbide-Tipped Hole Cutters · IDEAL 36-312
SKU: 36-312
Replacement pilot drill for IDEAL TKO carbide-tipped hole cutters from 3/4 in to 3-1/2 in. The 1/4 in pilot helps guide the cutter for smoother starts and reduced cutter damage when drilling metal boxes, panels, and enclosures.
What this product is for
This replacement pilot drill is made for IDEAL TKO carbide-tipped hole cutters. It centres the cutter at the start of the cut to help reduce walking and support cleaner hole starts in sheet metal, panels, boxes, and enclosures.
Use for
Use for replacing a worn or damaged pilot drill in compatible IDEAL TKO hole cutters covering 3/4 in to 3-1/2 in (19 mm to 89 mm) cutter sizes. Commonly used by electricians and contractors working on steel boxes, cabinets, and electrical enclosures.
Avoid for
Do not use as a general-purpose standalone drill bit or with non-compatible hole cutter systems unless fitment is confirmed. Avoid forcing the cut in hardened material beyond the cutter system's intended application.
Best for
Best for maintaining IDEAL TKO hole cutter performance when the original pilot drill is worn. A fresh pilot drill is typically helpful when accurate starts matter on painted, curved, or smooth metal surfaces.
Installed in
Used in the arbor/cutter assembly of compatible IDEAL TKO carbide-tipped hole cutters. Typical applications include panel shops, service work, commercial fit-ups, and control enclosure modifications.
Why this product exists
Pilot drills are wear items. Replacing the pilot drill instead of the full cutter assembly helps restore starting accuracy and can help reduce unnecessary cutter damage and rework.
Compared with similar products
This is a brand-matched replacement for IDEAL TKO systems rather than a universal pilot bit. Compared with improvised replacements, a correct-fit pilot drill is typically the better choice for alignment and cutter compatibility.
