Portable Drill Guide with Angle Scale & Chuck Key, 0-60 Angle

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.

This is a very sturdy, very portable, well made drill guide! I would recommend! It performs better than my previous unit, which broke under torque!

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.

Love the quality. Provides worksite drill press for unique needs.

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.

Five stars for versatility and precision. And yes, the chuck spins like a dream (although the chuck/key interface is the sloppiest I've ever encountered). Unfortunately this tool has some serious design flaws. First, and as substantiated in several other reviews, the drive stem is prone to breakage. This is not due to torque load, but rather bending loads. Why are there excessive bending loads? Undoubtedly it is due to the choice of slide rail bushings that are used. They just do not reduce friction enough. You will read in other reviews that rail friction is a problem. One would think that lubrication would do the trick, but no. Something about the bushing rail interaction creates a "sticky" motion which requires too much force on the drill exerted by the user. Inevitably this can cause an excessive bending moment on the drive stem, which is not good for the drive stem. As a result, user must be very careful not to induce too much moment. Easier said than done, especially at the end of a long day when tired. I found that the force required to overcome the stickiness in the bearings is inconsistent. Sometimes the drill will slide along easily enough. But mostly not. The user is left wondering if the force being exerted is from the work-piece or the slide-rail bushings. One would think that after a little use, the slide-rails would "break-in" a bit and produce more consistent loading. But no, I did not find this to be true. What to do with this thing? If the slide-rail used something like ball bushings, then this tool would be worth the money. But for the present design, I suggest looking elsewhere. Not happy with the purchase.

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.

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.
