Rockler Drill Guide | Portable Drill Press Adapter for Hand Drill - 0 to 60 Angle w/Protractor & Chuck Key for straight holes - Rockler Woodworking

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.

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.

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.

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.

If you need an efficient manual vertical drill jig, this is perfect except for the outrageous price tag. But you have the cash want a quality piece of equipment buy it

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.

I first used this tool after Amazon's 30-day return period had expired. That's on me. I found a work-around for the project that eliminated the need for the tool before the it arrived. So, after it arrived, I set it aside for a few months, leaving it in the box unopened. Then I needed to use it on a different project. When I began using it, the hex shank where the drill connects broke off during the drilling process...on the first use of a product for which I paid $180. Though Amazon's return period had expired, I hoped that a company with Rockler's reputation in the woodworking field would be willing to replace the product. My hopes were in vain. I contacted customer care via Amazon's method. I received this response: .... Looking at this order, it had been fulfilled by an Amazon warehouse. Due to that, it is subject to Amazon's 30-day policy and not eligible to be exchanged or returned to a Rockler retail location.... Sincerely, Rockler Customer Care Let me acknowledge that Rockler is within its rights to take this stance. But since they will not stand behind their product which was brand new when it broke, they have lost a customer for future purchases, and I have wasted my money with this company.

I bought this for a specific project, drilling 5/8" holes in a patio for a fence. I thought this guide would probably be destroyed by my hammer drill, but no. It took a beating and worked perfectly down to the last hole. It would certainly survive many years drilling through wood. I think you do have to listen to your tools, and back off a little when they're stressed, so maybe other folks pushed harder than I. It worked for me.
