Description

The Palbit Pilot Drill is a precision-engineered tool sized 16mm in diameter and 45mm long, designed to create and guide the initial hole in your workpiece. It’s ideal for engineers, shop floor technicians, hobbyists, and anyone who starts drilling operations where accuracy matters.

Crafted to Palbit's exacting standards, it delivers the accuracy and reliability you need to get your drills off to a clean, true start every time.

  • Precise hole initiation: Establishes an accurate starting point and true alignment for the following drilling operation, reducing wander and improving hole quality.
  • Durable, sharp tip design: Maintains cutting edge durability for clean entry and longer tool life across multiple uses.
  • Compact 16 mm x 45 mm form factor: Provides stable guiding and easy handling in a variety of setups, making it compatible with many holders and drill rigs.

The Palbit Pilot Drill helps you speed up setup, reduce rework, and improve first-pass hole quality by delivering a repeatable, reliable start to every drilling sequence. With its trusted Palbit construction, you can rely on consistent performance across jobs, from prototype runs to production work, helping your team stay on schedule and maintain tight tolerances.
