Good, not quite as useful as I’d like.,
Cheaper alternative to a drill press for creating straight holes!,
Also when drilling these types of holes, I like to drill the first few 10 rotations or so in reverse with the drill and then drill normally to prevent splinters and rough edges. It’s not perfect but it does a better job than simply drilling into like a 2×4.
The bits do fit perfectly but also noticed couple of the bits had rough edges and wouldn’t fit smoothly. The holes do have a tight tolerance so it does fit snug without any play. I would highly recommend getting new bits while you buy this as it’ll probably last longer; probably a little lubricating oil wouldn’t hurt either.
Overall I’m happy with this product and hopefully this company or another company would come out with a bigger set with variable sizes including metric holes.
Hard to review fairly,
I don’t have a drill press and don’t need one often enough to justify buying one, which probably puts me in the same category as you, right? I needed to drill some holes for some dowels (1/2″) that would stick straight up from a horizontal 1×6. Using this tool, they do stick up, just not really straight like I’d hoped.
When you put the 1/2″ drill bit into the 1/2″ hole of the drill block, there’s a little play in there. Probably has to be some, or the bit would bind up and cause more adventure than you’d like. Anyway, I understand the problem, but it means that the drill will not go into the wood at a very precise perpendicular angle. Also, of the four holes I drilled, two were a nice tight fit with a 1/2″ dowel. The other two, not so much. If you can live with that, it’s probably an OK tool for you.
I found out quickly that if you need a clean hole in the wood, you need to clamp this thing securely to whatever you’re drilling. Otherwise, you’ll get splintering where the bit enters the wood. And I was using a brand new, sharp, Dewalt titanium bit.
For around $8, I’d say it’s worth it. Just practice first on a sacrificial board for the first few holes.
A solid powerful jigsaw,
Im already a huge fan of the dewalt 20v line,
Very nice upgrade.,
