Question 2

How deep can the Milwaukee 49-57-8609 cut?

Accepted Answer

Question 4

How does the spring-loaded pilot bit help during hole cutting?

Accepted Answer

The spring-loaded pilot bit is designed to support fast drilling and clean plug ejection. As the hole is cut, the pilot bit helps guide the cutter, while its spring-loaded design assists with removing the cut plug. This can help make repeated hole-cutting tasks more efficient.
