Milescraft 1318 DrillMate Drill Guide with Chuck

This is the first drill guide of this type I try and it’s by far the best. It’s quite sturdy and drills straight since it’s mostly made of metal. Probably the best tool if it’s kind.

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 !

Easy to use, fairly easy to assemble. Sometimes the chuck looses the drillbit, but with some extra thightning and fiddeling it's good. I think it drills straight, maybe not as straight as a standalone drillpress, but good enough for me. Hobby use.

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.

Muito bem. Construído e versátil no uso

I bough this to build some cabinets where there are a lot of holes that need to be perfectly straight into mdf panel edges. I am very impressed by the build quality and overall feel. I have no issues at all with the sliding guide sticking on the uprights as other have noted. My only comment would be that on short drill bits it won't fully reach the bottom but that can be overcome by starting the hole and finishing manually. Also the depth stop, although sturdy and well made, is easy to knock out of position with repeated drops onto it if you aren't careful. Some markings on the upright guide to note the depth would address this. Overall this is a practical and reasonably priced substitute for a drill press, because who has space for one of those.
