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

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

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.

Great piece of kit well made.

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

The item feels sturdy and well made. However, I do have issue with the amount of free-play that is allowed in the axis between the pillars. So there is 2mm free play at the drill bit tip which is a lot imo. This means that the default is for the drill bit to be off-centre and in my view will mean that the hole drilled is not vertical. The spring will always make it off-centre one way - but with care, a true centre can be found by adjusting pressure on how the drill is held.I think that anyone looking for true precision may need to consider a dedicated drill press (expensive). Having said that, the Milescraft is a workable solution for the kind of things I want to do, it holds a drill bit more steadily than my free-hand would. I just need to be aware of its limitations.

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

I'm very happy with the product and its quality, I just think that it could be even better with a 12-13 mm drill chuck and an extra 25-30mm in stroke, the additional stroke can be obtained by screwing the press down on to a packer (which I did). I wanted this item to provide accuracy when drilling deeper holes, most of the Auger drill bits that could do the 200mm depth I needed are 230-235mm long, they can be accommodated in this press in diameters up to around 12mm, if you fit a 26mm packer under the press. The Auger bits for the larger diameter holes I needed to drill have an 11mm shank, so they wont fit in the 10mm chuck. Admittedly what I needed the press for was very specific, but I cant be the only person using it for this reason.

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.
