Get the accuracy of a drill press wherever your projects take you with the Milescraft® DrillMate™. This versatile portable drill guide makes it easy to drill straight, accurate holes at multiple angles. You do not need a stationary drill press. Whether working in the shop, on a jobsite, or tackling home improvement projects, the DrillMate™ provides added control and precision. As a result, you achieve consistent drilling results.
Designed for woodworkers, contractors, and DIY enthusiasts, this adjustable drill guide attachment helps eliminate guesswork when drilling into flat surfaces, board edges, and round stock. Its portable design makes it convenient. Therefore, you can take precision drilling capabilities wherever your project requires.
Adjustable Drill Guide for Accurate Angled Drilling
The DrillMate™ features an adjustable metal base with built-in angle indicators for drilling at 45°, 60°, 75°, and 90°. Metal angle adjusters securely lock your selected drilling angle into position, helping maintain accuracy throughout the drilling process.
The self-centering base helps position the drill guide accurately. Furthermore, the double ball-bearing spindle support and smooth-gliding guide head provide controlled, consistent drilling. This versatile angle drill guide makes it easier to create precise holes for woodworking, furniture construction, and general DIY applications.
Precision Drill Guide for Round Stock and Edge Drilling
Drilling into round materials or along the edge of a board can be challenging without proper support. The DrillMate™ features self-centering V-grooves designed to accommodate round stock, helping keep the drill properly positioned during use.
Non-slip TPE rubber feet help prevent movement and protect the work surface from scratches or marring. The removable feet also expose mounting locations. Consequently, you can secure this precision drilling guide directly to a work surface when additional stability is needed.
Adjustable Depth Control for Repetitive Drilling
When a project requires multiple holes at consistent depths, repeatability matters. The DrillMate™ includes an adjustable stop collar that helps control drilling depth and simplifies repetitive drilling applications.
The auxiliary handle can be positioned on the base to provide additional support and control during drilling. Combined with the smooth-gliding guide head, these features make this adjustable drill guide a practical solution. As a result, it is ideal for projects requiring accuracy and consistency.
Portable Drill Press for Woodworking and DIY Projects
Take the convenience of guided drilling wherever you need it. The Milescraft® DrillMate™ works with compatible 3/8″ and 1/2″ power drills. It also features a 3/8″ keyed chuck for drill bit compatibility.
From furniture building and cabinetry to drilling round stock and completing home improvement projects, this versatile portable drill press helps improve drilling accuracy. You no longer need the size or expense of a traditional stationary drill press.
Bring greater precision and control to your next project with the Milescraft® DrillMate™.

Amazing mobile drill press! So handy for quick and accurate drilling anytime anywhere. Awesome product and design.
Works well so so long as you hold it in place well when you get started. I'm happy with its functioning--it's a tool worth having.
Quality tool and great value. Helped tremendously on a large scale project where several hundred holes needed to be drilled for dowel rods and a drill press could not be used.
Exactly what I needed and way more affordable than the alternative. Ya it's not fancy, but sure does get the job done. Certainly sturdy enough as well.
Is somewhat difficult to adjust, and seems to vibrate quite a bit, but other than that it seems to do the job OK, once you get used to it.
Excellent, works well, no problems with this product
Drill straight,qucik, and easy! It's exactly what I expected.
Vertical bars needed a lubricant, but that was the only consideration - all else is good!
Everything works perfectly. Excellent product, exceeded my expectations. Thanks Nick
