Setting Up Expanding Pilots | Tech Lab Tuesday

Expanding Pilots are a great alternative when the exact pilot you need isn't available. But they have to be set up correctly. We get a lot of questions about how to set-up the Expanding Pilots in the product line. For this week's Tech Lab Tuesday, we put together a short video outlining the steps.

Remember, do NOT use expanding pilots with multi-angle valve seat cutting systems such as the Goodson 3-D Fast Cut™.
