Morse MAPD3CT Pilot Drill Bit
This Morse MAPD3CT pilot drill bit features a 1/4 inch shank and an overall length of 2 7/8 inches. The pilot bit size is 1/4 inch with a round shank style. It is constructed from carbide material for durability. The item is new and ships directly from the supplier.
Build fit and function
The 1/4 inch round shank fits standard drill chucks and quick-change systems that accept this diameter. Its pilot design helps guide larger cutters or hole saws for accurate hole placement. The carbide tip resists wear when drilling into tough materials such as steel. The compact length allows access in tighter work areas.
Upgrade path and limits
This bit replaces worn or damaged pilot bits used with hole saws or annular cutters. The jump is worth it when the original pilot dulls and causes wandering or excessive heat. It is not for buyers who need a pilot bit with a different shank diameter or overall length. It does not suit applications requiring a pilot bit made from high-speed steel instead of carbide.

- Carbide tip resists wear for longer cutting life
- 1/4 in shank fits standard drill chucks securely
- 2 7/8 in overall length reaches deeper holes
- Round shank design reduces slippage during operation

Questions about this item
How deep can the 1/4 in carbide pilot bit drill before the 2 7/8 in overall length limits the hole?
The 2 7/8 in overall length sets the maximum drilling depth; once the flutes reach the workpiece you cannot go deeper without a longer bit.
Does the carbide tip stay cool and quiet during continuous drilling in steel?
Carbide resists heat buildup better than high-speed steel, so the bit runs cooler and produces less squeal during extended use.
Will the 1/4 in round shank fit my drill without an adapter?
Any drill chuck that accepts a 1/4 in round shank — keyed, keyless or 1/4 in hex impact driver — will hold this bit directly.
