Our innovation continues with three new Pilot styles for maximum space savings that will deliver off-the-shelf superior production performance.
Fastener Mounted Pilots
Robust and compact Pilot installed from the working side with no insert required.
Back Tap Pilots
Similar to other straight pilots but redesigned with simpler machining and an integrated press ring for a secure fit.
Insert Mounted Pilots
Similar to other traditional headed pilots, but with loads of advantages and off-the-shelf availability.
Fastener Mounted Pilots
Rely on our Fastener Mounted Pilot when design space is compromised and mounting in the pad is preferred. A robust design, easy machining, and off-the-shelf availability make this a great pilot option.
Fastener Mounted Pilots Design Features
No need for an insert
No need to access the back side of the pad
Easy to machine an accurate bore diameter (using a ream if desired)
Rely on the Back Tap Pilot when design space is extremly limited. Innovative features such as a press ring for a secure fit and simple machining, combined with off-the-shelf availability make this pilot a great option.
Back Tap Pilot Design Features
Off-the-shelf availability in 10mm, 13mm, 16mm and English equivalent sizes.
Easy machining—No Milling— its as simple as Drill, Drill, Ream.
Reaming provides a consistent diameter and straight wall for a reliable fit.

Insert Mounted Pilots
Our thorough evaluation of straight pilots in the market identified three areas of improvement; faster machining, more robust head thicknesses, and a simpler part number / call out structure. Our Headed Pilots deliver on these improvements and more while being off-the-shelf and available to ship same day.
Headed Pilot Design Features
No head grinding required, our head thicknesses are ±.0005″ (5x tighter than other pilots).
Robust head thicknesses, increase in size as diameter increases.
Head radius allows for common tooling to machine the pocket, no sharp corners or making the pocket larger than necessary.
The inside radius is cleared which eliminates the need to chamfer the hole in the bottom of the pocket.
Relief angle added to transfer any mis-hit forces to the pad, reducing the shock on the head of the pilot.
