Works as intended to. Easy to use.

This unit is a bit cumbersome and takes a bit of getting used to. It is a little on the light-duty side, but with care, it should last a long time. I would not recommend this unit in a constant-use environment.

article ok si vous ne voulez pas depenser trop. Ca focntionne bien. le mandrin avec clé date d'une autre époque et c'est rageant lorsqu'on perd la clé. Très utile lorsqu'on a besoin comme de faire des trous sur place sans pouvoir amener le morceau à la perceuse à colonne...c'est alors que la perceuse à colonne va jusqu'au morceau..tres utile à ce niveau

Really cheaply made. There’s so much movement in the track that it ends up being incredibly inconsistent on where holes end up. I’d only recommend for projects with a large margin of error.

The assembly instructions aren't great, and there's at least one part (a loose screw) whose purpose is unclear to me. Also be aware there's a nut (which for some reason the instructions refer to as "the washer") loose in the box, which I almost lost before I knew it was there during unboxing. There's an insert that appears meant to seat in the base to make a more complete rest for round stock, but it's hard to get it neatly seated - I'm not sure I'll ever use it.The only real usage instructions I've found are on the product page - so if you feel any of that isn't intuitive, you might want to copy it down in case the page changes or goes away in the future.That said, between the instructions, the picture on the box, and a little common sense, figuring out how to put it together wasn't that bad, and you only have to do it once. Then you have a tool I've been wanting for some time. It's not even that I'm THAT bad at squaring up a drill - but I'm never confident that I have it right, and it always slows me down. With a guide like this, I should be able to assemble the tool and just start drilling - plus if you happen to need to drill at a specified angle that isn't 90 degrees, it can do that too.There are some trade-offs. While it's not "heavy" per se, it does add length, weight, and general awkwardness to the front of your drill. While clearly more portable than a table-mounted drill press, it's not getting into really tight spaces. The combined tool is 2-handed by nature. The included chuck is keyed, so that's an extra step for me (since my drills themselves use keyless chucks). Unless you remove the resistance springs on the steel columns, the chuck can't reach all the way to the aperture in the base, meaning unless you're working on small pieces you can seat inside the guide's frame, the maximum depth is less than the exposed length of your drill bit.The two arms rock independently in the base to set the drill angle. The shape of the tool should keep them from differing much. There's an angle gauge marked on the side opposite the handle, but I didn't see any clear marking on the frame with which to line it up. Nonetheless, on a first quick-and-dirty test I got pretty good results:I drilled through a 1-1/2" board. Didn't back the board so got some tear-out (I said it was a quick-and-dirty test), which made precise measurement difficult; but I can confidently say that any deviation in the position of the "out" hole vs the "in" hole was less than 1/16". That allows that I might have been almost 2.5 degrees off, but probably less. Could I have done that well by hand? Probably. Would I have done it as fast? No. Do I think I can do better as I get used to the guide (and maybe find a way to improve the gauge marking)? Yes, I most likely think I can.There are fancier drill guides on the market, and there may be an element of "get what you pay for" there, but I'm pretty happy with this one - at least on first impressions.

This device is a cheap piece of junk that is not precise in any way, shape or form. Don't waste your money. I build custom furniture, so I know tools. I will be returning this thing immediately. My shop made drilling guide is far more accurate, so I will go back to using that.
