Unreferenced date September 2009 A pilot hole is a smaller hole drilled into a material prior to a larger hole being drilled, widening the hole to the desired width. Drilling a pilot hole prevents a larger drill bit from slipping on the material a potential safety hazard, as well as an increased likelihood of the work being damaged. Normally, a center punch is used before drilling the pilot hole to ensure that the smaller pilot drill bit does not slip. Pilot holes may also be used when driving a screw . When a screw is driven into a material, it can act as a Wedge mechanical device wedge , generating outward pressure which can cause many materials such as wood or plastic to split. By drilling a small pilot hole into the material, into which a screw is then driven, less wedging takes place, thereby reducing the likelihood of the material being split. Pilot holes are used on a variety of materials including wood and plastic s, though their use is especially essential when drilling into polished or smooth metal, as larger drill bits are very likely to slip on such materials.
