The Bosch Auto Start pilot bit is one of the latest additions to the Bosch hole saw product line. As with Bosch’s entire line of hole saws, these products are part of the patented Quick Change Universal Hole Saw system, which lets you change hole saws in seconds. This pilot bit features a spring loaded, retractable shaft that allows walk-free cutting without a pilot hole. Also this bit features a unique grind that starts holes accurately every time.

The auto start tip was a great asset and made the hole right on the mark.

You need this mandrel to help turn the bit and it is a pairing. You must have both. It works very well in your drill with both parts, the correct size bit and this mandrel.

Great product !!. First time user. Drilled one 4 1/8 ” inch hole threw 3/8″ marble for shower faucet. This auto start bit made the task very easy. I did do a practice hole on a scrap piece of to familiarize etc.

I bought this last week with a 4-1/8 inch diamond hole saw to cut a new hole for a toilet. The Anvil and hole saw took over an hour to cut hardened 80 year old concrete with a large gravel component. The plumber really liked this tool in comparison to other tools.

Well made and reliable product. Clearer instructions on how this mandrel interfaces with the Hole Saw would have been helpful ;; I needed to figure it out through viewing several YouTube instructional videos.

Used on very hard, slick, thick tile while using a spray bottle with water and it went right through. I was very surprised and happy how well it worked.

Great system, well built and precise

The hole saw cut through tile easily. The pilot would not bite into the tile surface and slipped. I had to use another drill bit to make a pilot hole for the pilot.
