The Broach Cutter Pilot Pin (7.98 x 108 mm) is a precision-engineered tool accessory designed for accurate alignment and guidance of broach cutters during metal cutting, machining, and hole-making operations. Manufactured from high-quality hardened steel, this pilot pin ensures durability, precision, and long service life.

It helps in stabilizing the broach cutter, preventing misalignment, and ensuring clean and accurate machining results. Suitable for industrial and workshop use, this pilot pin is an essential accessory for broaching operations in mechanical, automotive, and metal fabrication industries.

Drilling small diameter holes is not possible with hollow annular Cutters. In order to use Magnetic Drilling Machines for drilling holes from diameter 5mm to 12mm Broachcutter® offers Solid Drills with Weldon shanks of diameter 19.05mm. (Show all sizes of drill bits)

These solid drills can be used on any Magnetic Drilling Machines of any capacity having 19.05mm spindle bore. (Show inserting and fixing a solid drill in a spindle of a magnetic drilling machine)

The drill bits are of 35mm length. When the tip gets blunt, it can be sharpened again by regrinding on a simple bench grinder. (Show grinding on a bench grinder)

The drill bit is fixed in the Weldon shank with the help of 2 allen screws. When the drill bit is reduced to a very small length by regrinding many times, the drill bit alone can be replaced keeping the same Weldon shank. (loosen the allen screws, remove the drill bit from the shank, re-insert it and fix by tightening the allen screws.)

A Pilot Pin, also known as a Centre Pin or Ejector Pin, is an essential accessory used with Annular Cutters in magnetic core drilling machines.
It serves multiple important functions:

1. Positioning: Helps in accurately centering the cutter on the drilling point before drilling starts.

2. Lubrication: Allows cutting fluid to flow through the cutter to the cutting edge, ensuring smoother cutting and longer tool life.

3. Ejection: After drilling, it automatically ejects the metal slug from the cutter’s core.

Pilot Pins are made from high-grade alloy steel and heat-treated for durability and wear resistance. They come in various sizes to suit different cutter lengths and diameters.
