## Description

You can’t take a drill press with you everywhere you go, but you can take a Milescraft® DrillMate™. This portable drill guide makes it quick and easy to drill precise holes at multiple angles. The DrillMate™ saves time and eliminates frustration when drilling multiple holes in all types and shapes of stock.

Review: A welcome addition. - I recently received a Milescraft Drillmate 1318. Assembly went smoothly, and the parts appear to be well made and nicely finished. The angle adjustment seems easy to use and should be useful, although perpendicular holes are its main attraction for me. With a little work, I could set the drill angle at something other than one of the 15 degree increment pre-sets. So far my use of the Drillmate is admittedly limited. Not surprising, I found the Drillmate to be somewhere between a handheld drill and a drill press. It does not have the precision or controlled feed of a drill press, but the Drillmate is much more portable and versatile. It certainly offers a lot more precision than a handheld drill, at least in my hands, where perpendicular holes are embarrassingly rare. Attaching a power drill to the chuck shaft requires working around the post extensions in order to tighten the power drill’s chuck, which felt a little odd. Apparently I have only dealt with chucks in wide open spaces in my, up to this point, sheltered life. But it is certainly doable, and I attached an 18v Makita drill. I don’t have any handheld power drills around anymore that have a keyed chuck, but like my drill press, the Drillmate does. Using the Drillmate actually requires dealing with two drill chucks. My first project with the Drillmate was to enlarge the dog holes on my workbench from 1/2 inch diameter to the more common 3/4 inch diameter, using a spade bit. With spade bits, I find it easier to control the feed, although there would not be any material to guide the center point in this case. Twist drills sometimes want to grab and chip. In my experience, It is relatively easy to enlarge holes using a drill press and much more difficult to do with a handheld drill. But enlarging these workbench holes on my drill press was not possible. Enter the Drillmate. To give myself a better chance of minimizing tear out and avoiding irregular holes when enlarging them, I like to make a template with a hole drilled in it of the desired size. I made a template with a piece of 1/2 inch thick panel about 10 by 10 inches, and drilled a 3/4 inch hole in the center with the Drillmate. I then positioned this template hole over a bench top hole to be enlarged, centered the template as best I could, and clamped it to the bench top. I positioned the Drillmate’s base onto the template, lined up the drill bit in the template’s hole, and powered on the Makita. I proceeded to make a 3/4 inch dog hole out of a 1/2 inch hole. I was quite pleased with the results - the edges were clean, the hole was round, and the drilling was quick and drama free. Thirteen more holes to go, and all went well. I was impressed with the holes and the Drillmate. It worked smoothly and precisely. I never felt that I was fighting the return spring. Perpendicular holes - at last! The Drillmate has a rather small base, but a larger, auxilllary base can be used unattached as I did, or attached, which I am considering. I found the auxilllary base or template to be necessary when drilling holes near edges where the Drillmate base alone would hanging over the edge and unstable. One thing I remember about chuck keys is that every stinkin’ one of them disappears. And that drills with keyed chucks are worthless without the correct key. And that no key ever fit another other drill’s chuck. So I just ordered a couple of extra chuck keys for my Drillmate. FYI - extra keys are available from the Milescraft website by clicking on Products, Drilling / Precision Drilling, 1318 - Drillmate, View Replacement Parts. Inexpensive, nicely made, versatile, a quality of work improving device, this Drillmate. Yet another tool I wish I had picked up a long time ago.
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.

## 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. The center hole is 88mm in diameter. The 4 mounting holes are 7mm in diameter, and spaced 83mm (center to center) in one dimension, and 108mm in the other. The rectangular portion of the base is 110mm in one dimension and 140mm in the other. The fillets on the edges of the base have a radius of 18mm.

**Q: Does anybody know how many inches the stroke is? Thank you.**
A: I've found it cannot drill through 4x4 timber.  I haven't measure the stroke, probably about 2.5 inches.

**Q: Does it use Bearings or Bushings for the spindle?**
A: The spindle has two ball bearings in it, for accuracy. The bushings are located on the left and right side of the guide head, which is where the bars slide through.

**Q: what is the center demions?**
A: The Base Opening is 3-1/2" in diameter.
