Review: Easy to use and easy to store away - I purchased this item after careful reviews of the product online. Some assembly required. I don't have room for a large drill press (or even a bench top model) in my work area. This product met my needs perfectly. I attached a small, battery operated drill that I purchased for this item to keep the size and weight down so the assembly wouldn't be top heavy. Works great. Quality of the drill guide is great. Assembly is not difficult. Happy with my purchase. Review: It's drilling time. - I purchased the Milescraft 1318 DrillMate Portable Drilling Guide to help with more accurate drilling, and overall it does exactly what it’s designed to do. It keeps the drill straight and makes it much easier to drill precise vertical holes compared to freehand drilling. The guide is easy to set up and works well with a standard handheld drill. The adjustable depth stop is a nice feature and helps keep hole depth consistent. It’s especially useful for light woodworking projects, shelving, dowels, and other jobs where accuracy matters. ## Features - Premium Home Improvement Tools: Perfect for straight or angled drilling; drilling on the edge of a board or on round stock - Sturdy Woodworking Tools: Attaches to all 3/8" & 1/2" cordless drills; it also includes a 3/8" capacity chuck with key - Multiple Angle Settings: Angle readout for setting drilling angles to 45°, 60°, 75°, and 90° - Versatile Carpentry Tools: Centering channels built into the bottom of the base, to accommodate drilling any round stock up to 3 inches in diameter - Premium Milescraft Tools: We offer products that help woodworkers and do-it-yourselfers to complete projects quickly, accurately, and easily. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B014A1Z92I | | Additional Features | Variable Speed | | Best Sellers Rank | #7,787 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #2 in Power Drill Chucks | | Brand | Milescraft | | Brand Name | Milescraft | | Color | Black Red Grey | | Compatible Devices | Milescraft drills, 3/8" cordless drills, 1/2" cordless drills | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 10,417 Reviews | | Drill Type | Basic Drill | | Drilling Capacity Metal | 0.38 Inches | | Drilling Capacity Wood | 0.38 Inches | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00737888131808 | | Included Components | Drill Attachment | | Is Electric | No | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 16"L x 5.5"W x 18"H | | Item Type Name | Drill Guide | | Item Weight | 1.81 g | | Manufacturer | Milescraft | | Manufacturer Part Number | 1318 | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | Warranty | | Material Type | Metal | | Maximum Chuck Size | 1 Inches | | Maximum Rotational Speed | 5000 RPM | | Model Number | 1318 | | Power Source | Hand Powered | | Speed | 5000 RPM | | UPC | 737888131808 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Milescraft - **Color:** Black Red Grey - **Maximum Chuck Size:** 1 Inches - **Maximum Rotational Speed:** 5000 RPM - **Power Source:** Hand Powered ## Images ![DrillMate - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51wkq-8BcvL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: What's the diameter of the opening in the base?** A: I needed the exact dimensions for an edge guide add-on to this guide that I am working on.
