Customers are dissatisfied with the stability of the drill. They say it tends to wobble and doesn't work well on narrow pieces.

Exactly what I needed for my workbench
5 Stars
Exactly what I needed for my workbench
I needed to drill a series of 3/4" holes for bench dogs and after some freehand tries, I realized I needed a drill guide. Since I liked the Milescraft drill block, the drill guide was at the top of my list. I wasn't disappointed!The guide worked like a dream and each of the holes was dead straight, with almost no wobble. Operation out of the box wasn't as smooth as I wanted, but a quick coating of wax on the rods fixed that. The stop block worked well and stayed consistent throughout all the holes, stopping the drill so only the brad point of the bit made it through to the other side. I then flipped the top over and used that small hole to complete the task from the other side without splitting the wood. I then used it for a few 45-degree holes in the legs, which worked well, too.It's not as steady as a true drill press, but it was more than steady enough for my needs. The only real downside I've noticed was that it would be nice to have a keyless chuck in the guide, but it's not a deal breaker for me. It's a great tool for the price!
