Accelerate Your Workflow with the Freud Professional Panel Pilot Bit

The Freud 28-104 1/2" Panel Pilot Bit is the ultimate solution for contractors and woodworkers who prioritize speed and accuracy when cutting openings in paneling, siding, and sheathing. This industrial-grade bit features a specialized drill-through point that allows for self-starting plunges directly into the material, eliminating the need for pre-drilling. Whether you are installing windows, doors, or electrical boxes, this bit ensures a fast, efficient cut every time.

Forged with TiCo™ High-Density Carbide, this bit is engineered to outlast high-speed steel alternatives many times over. The integrated pilot acts as a precision guide, making it an exceptional choice for template work with hand-held routers. By utilizing Freud's exclusive carbide formulation, the 28-104 maintains its razor-sharp edge through demanding materials like plywood, thin laminates, and composite panels, providing a splinter-free finish that saves you valuable time on the job site.

Key Features

  • Self-Starting Point: The specialized drill-through tip allows for immediate plunging into siding and paneling applications.
  • Integrated Pilot Guide: Acts as a built-in guide for perfectly following templates and fixtures without extra accessories.
  • Industrial Grade Carbide: Freud's TiCo™ High-Density Carbide tips provide significantly longer tool life than standard HSS bits.
  • Precision Balanced: Optimized for high-speed operation in portable hand-held routers to reduce vibration and chatter.
  • Versatile Applications: Ideal for cutting openings for outlets, windows, and doors in sheathing and other construction panels.

Needs modification to work correctly.

It is okay, but the brushes fall through the holes' making them hard to retrieve. The only way to get them out of the holder is to pull up on the bristles or push the handle from the bottom. Both don't work well. My solution is simple, just install a "stop" below the holes. My solution is ugly but works. It took me about 15 minutes to modify.
