How Euroboor Pilot Pins Work
- Centers the cutter – the pin locates in the center punch mark so the cutter starts exactly where you marked it.
- Controls lubricant flow – as the pin retracts it opens the oil channel inside the cutter, feeding coolant directly to the teeth for cooler, smoother cuts.
- Ejects the slug – when the hole breaks through, the spring-loaded pin pushes the slug out so it doesn't jam in the cutter.
Match the pin diameter to your cutter's pilot hole (1/4" or 5/16") and choose a length suited to the cutter's depth of cut. Two-piece pins are designed for longer cutters such as 3" and stack-depth models.

Why Replace Your Pilot Pins
- Bent or worn pins cause off-center starts and oval holes.
- A pin that won't retract blocks coolant, overheating and dulling the cutter.
- Weak slug ejection leads to jammed slugs and lost time on the job.
- Keeping spares on hand for each cutter depth you run keeps the drill working.
Euroboor Pilot Pins are an inexpensive way to protect your annular cutters and keep hole quality consistent on every job.
