Walter 3-Inch Depth Pilot Pin for Annular Cutters

Reliable Slug Ejection for 3-Inch Cuts

When you are drilling through thick steel plate, the last thing you want is a jammed slug slowing you down. The Walter 05Z032 Pilot Pin is built to keep your magnetic drill running efficiently, specifically when using long annular cutters rated for a 3-inch depth of cut. This isn't just a piece of metal; it's the heartbeat of your mag drill's efficiency, ensuring you can line up your shot quickly and move on to the next hole without wrestling with stuck metal cores.

Fabricators know that deep holes require stable tooling. This 2-piece pilot pin is designed to handle the extra length of 3-inch cutters without binding or bending. It fits perfectly into standard 3/4" Weldon shanks used on Walter ICECUT, SST Core Cut, and CARBIDE cutters. The hardened steel construction means it won't mushroom or wear down prematurely, even after hundreds of holes.

Using the correct pilot pin is also a safety feature. It ensures the cutter is perfectly centered before rotation starts, preventing walking and reducing the risk of cutter breakage. Once you punch through, the pin snaps back to pop the slug out instantly. If you are running deep cutters on your rig, keep a spare 05Z032 in your kit to avoid downtime. It’s a small part that makes a massive difference in your daily productivity.
