OVERVIEW

Keep Your Mag Drill Action Smooth and Jam-Free

Every welder knows that a magnetic drill is only as good as its accessories, and a bent or missing pilot pin can bring a job to a grinding halt. The Walter 05Z017 Pilot Pin is the replacement part you need to keep your 2-inch annular cutters running like new. Designed specifically for setups using Fein or Nitto adapters, this pin is the unsung hero of the hole-making process. It takes a beating so your expensive cutters don't have to, guiding them straight and true into the metal every single time.

Why is a high-quality pilot pin so important? First, it acts as your target. You line the tip of the pin up with your center punch, engage the magnet, and you know your bolt hole is going to be exactly where it needs to be. No walking, no guessing. Second, it manages the mess. As you drill, this pin allows coolant to flow down to the teeth where the heat is. But the real magic happens when you punch through. The spring-loaded pin pops that hot metal slug right out of the cutter. If you've ever wasted ten minutes fighting a stuck slug with a pair of pliers while your drill cools down, you know exactly why a fresh, straight pilot pin is worth its weight in gold.

This particular pin is made from hardened steel to resist bending and wear, ensuring it lasts through hundreds of holes. It is sized perfectly for 2-inch depth cutters, including the popular Walter Icecut and SST Core Cut lines. Don't let a small part cause a big delay in your fabrication shop. Keep a spare 05Z017 in your kit and ensure your mag drill is always ready to perform.

FAQ

The pilot pin serves three main functions: it centers the cutter over the drilling spot, allows coolant to flow when retracted during drilling, and ejects the metal slug once the hole is complete.

This pin is designed for use with 2-inch depth annular cutters, specifically the Walter SST Core Cut and Icecut series, when used with Fein or Nitto adapters.

No, this pin is specifically sized for 2-inch depth cutters. Using it on a 1-inch cutter would be incorrect as the length would not match the travel required for proper ejection and centering.

The 05Z017 is made from hardened steel to resist bending and wear during the rigorous drilling and ejection process.

If the slug is not ejecting, the pilot pin may be bent, the spring inside the arbor may be weak, or the pin might be the wrong size for the cutter. Ensure you are using the 05Z017 for 2-inch cutters.

This specific SKU is noted for use with Fein/Nitto adapters. While the pin diameter might be similar, the length and fit are optimized for that specific adapter system configuration.

When the pilot pin is depressed against the workpiece during drilling, it opens a valve within the arbor that allows coolant to flow down the center of the cutter to the cutting teeth.

You should replace the pilot pin if it becomes bent, the tip becomes dull or mushroomed, or if it fails to slide smoothly within the cutter, which can cause slug jams.
