Works really well. Accurate drilling at 90. Seems pretty durable for occasional use. Easy assembly.

I purchased this setup as I did not want to go out and buy a drill press to drill 3/16" holes into the ends of 1/2 X 1/2 inch acrylic rods . I tried clamping them to a workmate but kept getting the holes drilled at funny angles. I purchased this jig with a multi angled vise and got nearly perfect holes. YMMV but this jig is clever and effective for DIY projects. The price is extremely decent for what you get. If you have stuff that needs to be held within +/-.005.. No this will not hold up. but if you can deal with +/- 1/32" This will work just fine. It is not made of Chinesium but rather die cast aluminum and mild steal rods. The most impressive part is the decent quality bearings for the Jacobs Chuck assembly. No discernable wabble and holds drill bits perfectly. Glad I made this purchase.

I recently received a Milescraft Drillmate 1318. Assembly went smoothly, and the parts appear to be well made and nicely finished. The angle adjustment seems easy to use and should be useful, although perpendicular holes are its main attraction for me. With a little work, I could set the drill angle at something other than one of the 15 degree increment pre-sets. So far my use of the Drillmate is admittedly limited. Not surprising, I found the Drillmate to be somewhere between a handheld drill and a drill press. It does not have the precision or controlled feed of a drill press, but the Drillmate is much more portable and versatile. It certainly offers a lot more precision than a handheld drill, at least in my hands, where perpendicular holes are embarrassingly rare. Attaching a power drill to the chuck shaft requires working around the post extensions in order to tighten the power drill’s chuck, which felt a little odd. Apparently I have only dealt with chucks in wide open spaces in my, up to this point, sheltered life. But it is certainly doable, and I attached an 18v Makita drill. I don’t have any handheld power drills around anymore that have a keyed chuck, but like my drill press, the Drillmate does. Using the Drillmate actually requires dealing with two drill chucks. My first project with the Drillmate was to enlarge the dog holes on my workbench from 1/2 inch diameter to the more common 3/4 inch diameter, using a spade bit. With spade bits, I find it easier to control the feed, although there would not be any material to guide the center point in this case. Twist drills sometimes want to grab and chip. In my experience, It is relatively easy to enlarge holes using a drill press and much more difficult to do with a handheld drill. But enlarging these workbench holes on my drill press was not possible. Enter the Drillmate. To give myself a better chance of minimizing tear out and avoiding irregular holes when enlarging them, I like to make a template with a hole drilled in it of the desired size. I made a template with a piece of 1/2 inch thick panel about 10 by 10 inches, and drilled a 3/4 inch hole in the center with the Drillmate. I then positioned this template hole over a bench top hole to be enlarged, centered the template as best I could, and clamped it to the bench top. I positioned the Drillmate’s base onto the template, lined up the drill bit in the template’s hole, and powered on the Makita. I proceeded to make a 3/4 inch dog hole out of a 1/2 inch hole. I was quite pleased with the results - the edges were clean, the hole was round, and the drilling was quick and drama free. Thirteen more holes to go, and all went well. I was impressed with the holes and the Drillmate. It worked smoothly and precisely. I never felt that I was fighting the return spring. Perpendicular holes - at last! The Drillmate has a rather small base, but a larger, auxilllary base can be used unattached as I did, or attached, which I am considering. I found the auxilllary base or template to be necessary when drilling holes near edges where the Drillmate base alone would hanging over the edge and unstable. One thing I remember about chuck keys is that every stinkin’ one of them disappears. And that drills with keyed chucks are worthless without the correct key. And that no key ever fit another other drill’s chuck. So I just ordered a couple of extra chuck keys for my Drillmate. FYI - extra keys are available from the Milescraft website by clicking on Products, Drilling / Precision Drilling, 1318 - Drillmate, View Replacement Parts. Inexpensive, nicely made, versatile, a quality of work improving device, this Drillmate. Yet another tool I wish I had picked up a long time ago.

Can it replace a drill press? Probably not. but it works way better than expected. Swapped out the red bushings to drill neck pocket holes on my guitar. Decently accurate for the price.

I really tried to like this thing, it's built well and seems to be a fairly quality tool. However, after several months I have now screwed up three guitar bodies trying to make proper use of it (practiced on countless pieces of scrap getting familiar with it). It works pretty well for straightness once the hole is started, but it's almost impossible to get centered and started because the whole thing is top-heavy, wobbles, and jerks when the drill bit starts to catch. The spring is constantly resisting against the user (and it is NOT a smooth vertical track, even when lubricated) so it's a pretty aggressive process, all of which adds up to fractions of an inch of movement, which is NOT ok for perfectly-aligned string furls (which is why I got this to begin with). I have yet to succeed with this thing, as much as I've tried to like it.. it's going into the cupboard until I can find a low-precision job for it. In my experience, it is not suited for guitar building, it's just too clumsy and I don't need any assistance with being clumsy :) I have 30 years experience with woodworking, so I'm not a newb, and perhaps others have better success with this - I can do better taking my time with a hand drill for things that don't fit on my drill press.

The media could not be loaded. This is a GUIDE NOT A DRILL PRESS! For quick jobs, this fit the porter cable and the craftsman drills. It is sturdy and very well built. The angles can be finicky to work with and not the greatest but for the most part the accuracy was down to the .005 of an inch. A super time saver for those super quick jobs. This is a must for the tool Shop or if you need quick easy fun gifts for the woodworker in your life. The parts were stable, heavy duty and will be able to withstand a lot of use. The base is stable and flat leaving it for a perfect drill each time. The springs were durable. Pretty impressed on the performance of this tool. The handles was a plastic kind, but it withheld pressure and was sturdy enough it did not break for keeping the stability as you drilled. It had to be rocked a few times to get started but once in it didn’t job. A great quality tool for a decent reasonable price
