Otherwise, it does what it's designed to do: drilling straight, perpendicular holes on horizonal surfaces. There a few things I really like about this unit. It has an adjustable stop, so you can control the depth of the holes, repeatedly. Another thing is the use of a spring. It's used to return and keep the drill bit back off the work surface. This spring can be removed to gain deeper drill depth if needed. Also, a nice nice feature is the ability to lock an angle in place. There are a number of preset angles, e.g., 30,45 degrees and others. Drilling at an angle though, will probably require clamping the unit to the surface, or it will likely skid or creep off target. It seems well built too; something that should last for some time.
In summary, for 40 bucks, it works pretty well and will do what it's advertised to do. (just don't try to use it on vertical surfaces)
I recently had the chance to use it while working on a home improvement project, and I was amazed at how easy it made my drilling tasks. The multi-angle readouts were a lifesaver, allowing me to make precise and accurate holes at various angles without any guesswork.
What truly impressed me was the build quality. It felt sturdy and durable, ensuring that it would last for many projects to come. Plus, it's incredibly portable, so you can take it with you wherever your projects take you.
In summary, the Milescraft 1318 DrillMate Portable Drill Guide is a must-have for DIY enthusiasts. It simplifies drilling tasks, provides precision, and offers excellent build quality. Whether you're a seasoned DIYer or a beginner, this tool will make your projects a breeze.
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!

Sólo deben tener cuidado con ajustar perfecto la broca, el broquero de pronto se aflojó. Una vez que lo apreté con mucha fuerza funcionó perfecto.
Presenta un certo gioco come evidenziato da altri recensori, quindi non può essere considerato uno strumento di precisione come un trapano a colonna.
Ma una precisione elevata non è il fine per cui è stato costruito.
Serve per raggiungere una precisione "sufficiente" e migliore di quanto si può normalmente raggiungere con un trapano utilizzato a mano.
Personalmente l'ho utilizzato con un trapano a batteria per fare diversi fori per tasselli in un muro, e ritengo che i fori fatti con l'aiuto di questo attrezzo siano risultati più precisi e definiti di quelli fatti in precedenza a mano libera.
La presenza della manopola laterale (di cui sentivo per quel lavoro la mancanza sul piccolo trapano a batteria) aiuta parecchio a tenere in posizione il complesso trapano/supporto
I piedini in gomma sotto la base aiutano molto anche a tenere fermo il supporto appoggiato sul muro nelle fasi iniziali della foratura.
Un poco limitata l'apertura del mandrino, ma molti fori non richiedono più dei 10mm che può raggiungere.
Il prezzo è più elevato di altre proposte apparentemente simili ma a giudicare dalle recensioni lette su di essi conviene pagare qualcosa in più per un prodotto che funziona meglio e dà una sensazione di affidabilità nel tempo.
Un miglioramento possibile, oltre alla riduzione del gioco, sarebbe aggiungere un posto dove mantenere attaccata la chiave con cui si regola il mandrino (io per non perderla la lego alla maniglia con uno spago) oppure un'opzione per un mandrino serrabile senza chiave (penso però che quelli con la chiave offrano un serraggio più affidabile).
