Description

Milescraft® is a leader in drill accessories. The DrillMatePro™ is a professional, portable drill press that delivers easy repeatable precision drilling. The drill guide is constructed with metal for increased durability, performance, and accuracy. This heavy-duty drill guide serves as a portable drill press guide when the work is too large or awkward to take to the drill press table. The 1/2" keyed chuck accepts larger and longer drill bits, hole saws, and spade bits. The chuck also spins effortlessly with the help of its dual ball bearing design. To ensure accurate and precise results, the extruded guide head is fit with bronze bushings to the keep the drill bit on target. Aligning the DrillMatePRO™ couldn’t be easier with all of the available centering options. Convenient centering lines machined into the base makes it easy to hit the mark every time. For increased precision, drop in the included alignment disk for pin-point accuracy. The V-Grooves in the base not only help center the DrillMatePRO™ but also allow for round stock to sit stable when drilling holes. Additionally, two included centering pins can be used either on top or beneath the base for simple twist and center drilling. With the unique independent depth stop system on the DrillMatePRO™ it’s possible to drill to the exact same depth every time, while the springs prevent a heavy drill and bit falling onto the work piece. The dual spring design helps control drilling, and returns and supports the drill when not in use. They can also be removed to achieve greater drilling depth. The guide head can be locked in place when changing bits, or, when in use without the springs. The angle adjust allows for infinite angles off of vertical from 0 degree to 60. The wide base provides plenty of clamping room to keep the guide in place when drilling complicated angles, and the rubber feet on the base prevent slipping and marring on the workpiece. Not intended for use with impact drivers or hammer drills.

  • Nice alternative to drill press - and more compact.
I really like this so far: Pros: - Well built - Good alignment "cross hairs" red plastic insert makes lining up bit easy. - Depth stop - A bit less costly than the Rockler and Woodpeckers models. - Dual springs makes operation more balanced. - Rubber pads on base and weight of the stand keep it nice and stable for drilling operations. - Easy to set up. - Easy out of the box assembly. Cons: - The old timey chuck key is a bit of a pain to use. I feel chuck could be better with a keyless model (or as an option perhaps) - The depth stop could benefit from a simple "gauge" to set the basic depth easily. The drill stand Festool makes has a neat simple one I have seen and would be good on this one. Perhaps I will make myself a 3Dprinted version to upgrade this. If Milescraft reads this - they could make it for the 2.0 Pro version of Drillmate. Would not be too costly in my opinion and differentiate from competitors. I think there are probably some options that could also improve the value of this tool ... a vise, and other useful jigs to hold your workpiece, different centering pins, etc. Milescraft may be thinking of those? I have used with my M12 milwaukee drill and made a series of holes so far - including some larger forstner bit holes. It works very well and I am pleased with my purchase. I don't have a drill press and the urge to have one now has been reduced to about zero. I recommend this product, but try to score it when they have it on promotion - I got it 25$ off the usual price by being patient. ... show more

  • Invaluable product - Great company
I bought the Drill Mate PRO because I needed to drill large, straight holes in a workbench top. There are times when one needs to drill a hole in a larger workpiece, where putting the workpiece on a drill press table is simply impractical - a workbench top being an obvious example. Before buying it, I researched it - particularly comparing it with the Woodpeckers Auto-Line. Full disclosure, I am a fan of Woodpeckers tools - particularly quality-wise. The primary reason I chose the Milescraft was the larger base. Candidly, none of these things can match the stability of a drill press, so I thought that the larger base of the DM PRO would provide greater opportunities for me to stabilize the base, and by extension, the drill. I'm happy with my decision. The guides, base plate, chuck holder, adjustments, knobs, chuck and ergonomics of the DM PRO are all first rate. I've also used the pins to provide for automatically centered holes; they're quite convenient and yield accurate results. I'm appreciative that the pins, chuck key and centering disk all have built-in holders on the tool. A tip if you need to drill deep holes like I did... All of these things have springs with many coils. That's a positive in terms of providing smooth and progressive support. But they do end up limiting travel at the bottom of the stroke. You can start a deep hole with the springs on - then remove them (temporarily) to extend the depth of the hole. Obviously you need to be careful because the springs won't help you support the drill. Lastly - I experienced an issue with the DM PRO that was entirely my fault. I explained what had transpired to their support team and they stepped up and helped me out big time. Problems happen. Sometimes they're self-inflicted, sometimes there is a problem with or defect in the tool. My perspective is that quite often, problems give you a clear picture of the company that manufactured or sold you the tool. And I can tell you that Milescraft is aces in my book. ... show more

  • GREAT tool, but most should probably save the money and go with the original DrillMate 1318
TLDR: If you plan to drill a ton of holes, but don't have room for even a 'bench mounted' (vs free standing) drill press, this is a great option - meaning you technically *would* purchase a drill press if you could, but can't for one reason or another. For anyone who doesn't feel they could justify the cost of a drill press (all other things being equal), they should likely choose the much cheaper 'normal' DrillMate. Little further detail: I've used the original DrillMate for quite a while, originally purchasing it over a drill press due to severe space constraints in my shop, and found I was using it so often, I might as well try the 'Pro'. While I'm glad I did, I don't know that most would necessarily need the small additional features this one comes with over the standard version. Compared to the original, it's definitely more stable feeling, has a more rigid structure, and more premium hardware used. The chuck is fantastic, a big upgrade! The packaging is of course about as cheap as it comes though (seems to be a consistent thing with Milescraft products for some reason... The only consistently poor part of my experience with this manufacturer, and honestly a shame as I love pretty much everything they make), so be sure to check everything over as soon as you receive it - if the box received any abuse at all, it's possible something got bent/broken, and better to find/address that immediately than otherwise. The chuck is very high quality, as are the bearings used - the thing free-spins quite well, and I've no doubt it'll last a lifetime. They include storage for the chuck key on the tool, which is very thoughtful design and much appreciated. ** But why shouldn't everyone buy this instead of the 1318? ** Frankly, it's still a pain when compared to the ease and simplicity of having an actual press. The return springs (on each side rail, which are supposed to help 'push' the drill and chuck back up after finished boring) are *VERY* weak, to the point that they're a constant source of frustration. They might've worked out alright if there was slightly more tolerance between the collars and the rods, but with how tight they are, no amount of lubrication or adjustment will allow the thing to just 'glide smoothly' - you will *always* have to work the tool back up yourself, and this becomes more true the heavier-duty your drill is. Using a tiny (~2Ah) battery back helps a bit, but not nearly enough as it's not really the weight of the drill causing the problems here unfortunately. The 1/2" chuck is a very nice addition, but most don't actually need this. And those that do...? Should likely get a drill press if they can, because anything that needs a 1/2" chuck is going to cause a bit of a struggle when it comes to drilling down into something with a mobile unit like this. In the end, I'm still very happy with my purchase; there's nothing else quite like this tool out there, at least not that would stand up to the workload I put through the thing. If it were perhaps $80-90 (roughly double the standard drillmate), frankly it'd be a no-brainer. However at over 3x the price (at current), I just can't see it being justified for most folks. Perhaps if they'd included the fence (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DZMBY6PB) it'd make more sense, especially as I feel that anyone who has the need for the 'pro' should get the fence as well, but that tacks on another ~$30. ... show more
