Milescraft 1318 DrillMate Portable Drillling Guide – Precision Drilling Jig Attachment for Drilling Angled or Straight Holes, Adjustable Drill Guide Attachment, Portable Drill Press with 3/8” Chuck

Having read a few 'horror story' reviews of other cheaper products I paid a little more to purchase the Milescraft drill mate - and I'm pleased I did. It's well made, sturdy and stiff - no flex in it, as reviewers complained of for other cheaper makes of drill stand. I bought it for a specific 'special job' and you'd be well advised to have a practice on some scrap wood first, rather than jump straight as I did. The first use was 'OK' but after a little practice the rest of the work went well and I'm pleased with the result. There's a bit of a knack to it and having a play first lets you work out the best way to hold the jig and your drill to achieve the best result. That said I'm very happy with my purchase and would recommend the Milescraft, DrillMate Drill Guide

This is a sturdy, well designed piece of kit. I bought it for drilling screw and bolt holes in the replacement kitchen cabinet doors and drawer fronts that I bought. I even managed to drill dowel holes to join a corner post to the edge of a door perfectly. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was because: 1. At times the overall footprint of the base was just a bit too large to get all 4 feet on the surface being drilled. This then needed a bit of creative thinking to get the job done. 2. When a drill is attached the whole thing is top heavy and has to be laid on it's side when not in use, otherwise it will topple over.

Amazing device. Should've got one years ago. If there's too much movement then use the tighter fitting red grommets instead.

Great piece of kit well made.

This product does perform its primary function, but has some limitations. Chief among these, from my point of view, is that it is limited to a small set of pre-determined angles: 90°, 75°, 60° and 45°. Second limitation is that the chuck has a maximum aperture of 10mm, so if the shank on the drill bit you want to use is larger than that (as it is for the augur bits I wanted to use), you're out of luck. I couldn't see an easy way to swap the chuck for a larger one. Finally, the bearings on my drill guide are a bit "grindy" when it spins, so I'm not expecting this product to have an especially long life. However, if you can live with those limitations then this drill guide does what it says on the tin!

Easy to assemble well built better than alot of other options within this price range

The chuck key that was supplied didn’t fit the chuck! Maybe I was unlucky and got a dodgy key. As I wanted to use it straight away I had to nip to a local diy store and get a new one. Other than the key, I’m very happy with it. There are cheaper ones I’ve seen but they didn’t look too impressive. Far better value than the very expensive ones.

Good quality and received it fast thank you for Ur good service

Il fait son job. Par exemple, grâce à cet outil, je peux percer de gros trous profonds dans des poteaux, trous dans lesquels des barres se soutien prendront ensuite place. Il faut que les trous soient bien droits, pour que le poteau, une fois installé sur la barre, soit droit également. C’est ce qui me fallait !

Funktioniert gut mit dem Akkuschrauber, das feste Bohrfutter sorgt dafür das man eigentlich jede Bohrmaschine damit verwenden kann, also besser als alternativen die Bohrmaschinen über den 43mm Eurohals aufnehmen, da Akkuschrauber diesen nicht haben, man bekommt gute gerade Bohrergebnisse, also empfehlenswert

ilk denemeye göre çok beğendim, daha hassas işlem için millere takılan teflon burçlar değiştirilebiliyor. burçlar kırmızı olarak kutuda geliyor. başarılı ancak bir plakaya sabitleyerek kullanmak daha iyi olacaktır.

Indiscutibilmente necessario, a meno di non voler acquistare un nuovo ed ingombrante trapano a colonna! Felice possessore di un trapano bosch che non mi ha mai deluso, avevo bisogno di creare fori con puna Forstner su un piano di grosse dimensioni e questo supporto mi è stato indispensabile. Non avendo bracci che ne limitino il raggio d’azione, ho potuto forare al centro di un piano di legno di 70x70 spendendo quanto ritengo giusto per un attrezzo del genere. Si monta con semplicità, seppur non immediatamente. Bello a vedersi, d’aspetto discreto. Robusto e regolabile per angoli di foratura diversi dal perpendicolo.

a little confusing to assemble. build quality is excellent. positioning is very precise.
