Drill Guide

This is for me that tool that I wish I had so many times. I use my drill press on wood regularly but there is always one instance where I’d like to drill a perfect hole where my drill press will not reach. This is that tool and it works exceptionally well. The craftsmanship is solid.

I purchased this tool to drill out thick walnut shelves we milled up for floating shelves in a kitchen. It worked flawlessly and we were able to use it with a forstner bit to perfectly center our holes. It made mounting the shelves a breeze onto the brackets which had 4 solid poles sticking out. I will find other uses for this for sure. I've been a remodeling contractor for 25 years and wish I had this tool many years ago. This is a real review from a real person, not one that got a free tool.

Pricy but does a great job. With your drill installed it’s a little top-heavy so getting the drill bit close to the material at the start is helpful. This drill guide is made well and the operation is smooth. You cannot beat the drill accuracy for those projects that are too large or awkward for a drill press.

If you need an efficient manual vertical drill jig, this is perfect except for the outrageous price tag. But you have the cash want a quality piece of equipment buy it

This tool is very well made, very sturdy, heavy duty, smooth movement, I just can’t say enough good things about this tool. I definitely think this tool is better than a conventional drill press as it can move anywhere you need it, adjusts with ease and is compact in size. Absolutely a great design.

Combine this Drill Press with Vice that mounts inside of Drill Press and screws together, makes a fantastic powerhouse. I have Bar stool legs that angle outward at 13 degrees. These Bar Stools are very heavy and won't slide on the Porcelain Tile Floor. I Tried sliding pads, 4 kinds then 4 kinds of wheels, then found the outdoor grill plastic wheels. All I had to do was mount the wheels perpendicular to the floor, hmmm how was I going to do that. The Portable Drill press was the answer, just use lots of Level Bubbles to balance everything to drill straight!! Worked Fantastic, stools slide or roll with the greatest of ease. Thank you so much and for the YouTube video's on how to work it. Now I can get a Chef to come over and watch him cook for us at the Bar in Kitchen.

Rockler drill press adapter os very well made

This is the best drill guide I've found. I like the fairly smooth up/down operation. I love the limit knobs on each rail, and the limit knob on the drill attachment portion as well. Yes, the bearings in the unit are smooth and transfer energy from the drill very well. But mine tightened up on me. I don't know if I tightened the drill bit onto the chuck too tightly. I just firmly snugged the drill bit on there with the key . . . not sure. But I had to loosen the nut on the top to get it to spin smoothly again. It has it's issues, but still the best one I could find. Curious how it holds up over a lot of use.
