Hex 11 1/2-in x 12-1/4-in Deep Cut HSS Hole Saw Pilot Bit

Spyder   Hex 11 1/2-in x 12-1/4-in Deep Cut HSS Hole Saw Pilot Bit

Spyder's Tungsten Carbide Tipped (TCT) hole saws cut more materials (up to 5x faster), last longer (up to 10x more holes), and cut deeper (maximum cut depth of 6-1/4-in) than conventional bi-metal saws. TCT hole saws cut wood, concrete block, brick, fiber cement board, ceramic wall tile, PVC, and more (with a Mohs hardness of less than 6). This extended cutting depth makes Spyder's Deep Cut hole saws excellent for stacked materials, deeper cuts, and for drilling through brick and concrete block. Note: Spyder TCT Deep Cut hole saws use Hex11 arbors/pilots which do not feature Rapid Core Eject technology; they cannot cut at an angle or enlarge existing holes. For use in standard rotary drills. Do not use in hammer drill mode. Not recommended for harder, abrasive materials.

Cut Clean Holes With Pilot Bits

If you use a hole saw to cut holes into various materials — such as wood, plasterboard and plastic — you’ll want to purchase a variety of pilot bits so you can create holes of different sizes. At Lowe’s, we carry pilot drill bits for all your project needs.


Frequently Asked Questions


Q: What’s a pilot drill for a hole saw?

A: A pilot drill for a hole saw is a drill bit that attaches to the arbor, or central shaft, of the hole saw. The pilot bit extends past the cutting edge of the hole saw to drill a starter hole. Drilling a starter hole can keep the blade teeth of the hole saw from walking when cutting into the workpiece. See our guide on How to Drill a Pilot Hole for step-by-step instructions.


Q: Can you use a hole saw without a pilot bit?

A: Yes, you can use a hole saw without a pilot bit. Using pilot bits can help you create cleaner holes, but you may choose to use a hole saw without a pilot bit if you’re trying to enlarge an existing hole or if you want to create a large hole. To use a hole saw without a pilot bit, simply unscrew the collet — the drill’s stabilizing collar — and remove the bit. You can return the pilot bit to the hole saw if you would like to use the bit for future projects.


Q: How do you attach a pilot bit to a hole saw?

A: To attach a pilot bit to a hole saw, first select the correct bit size. Next, screw the bit into the arbor shaft of the hole saw. You can then use the hole saw to create holes.
