Not having any place to store a drill press, I searched the internet for a portable drill guide. I read the description and reviews of 3 of them and chose the Milescraft #1318 AccuDrillMate. The wood project I was starting on required about 15 various sized holes to be drilled in rows.
When I started to drill out the holes I could not repeat the spacing or alignment of each hole. The steel rods had about an 1/8th of an inch forward and rearward play. The chuck arbor started out to be rock solid, no play whatsoever, then before I finished drilling all the holes, there was 3/16th of an inch play forward and rearward and from side to side.
Upon close inspection of the components of the product I noticed the small screws holding the nylon bushings in the rods were loose. I then found the screws holding the 2 halves of the chuck arbor bushings (top and bottom halves) also loose. I removed the drill chuck and then proceeded to apply non hardening Locktite to the threads of all the screws. (Note: The screw holding the chuck onto the arbor is a left hand thread, turn it to the right to remove the chuck.) After reassembling the parts and tightening all the screws the side rods are play free but, the arbor bushings (top and bottom halves) need to be replaced. They are worn from using the drillmate with the screws being loose.
Pros: The Milescraft #1318 AccuDrillMate is a well designed product, that will get the job done time and time again. This tool gets 5 stars and I would recommend it over all the others out there.
Cons: The chuck key is not a good match to the chuck teeth. Applying pressure on the key forces it down and out of the teeth. A proper fitting chuck key should also have a longer handle to hold onto the key with.
Summary: After contacting MilesCraft, they informed me the problem with the screws coming loose was resolved, and they sent me a new head assembly with all new bushings. I am very pleased with this product, and can’t say enough for the thought behind the design and the quality of the component parts of the AccuDrillMate.I highly recommend that if you need a drill guide, give the AccuDrillMate a good look as you won’t be disappointed.

This is a great little accessory to have. Like most Milescraft products it is well made. I think it’s safe to say drilling straight isn’t exactly easy and for those without a drill press, this is a great affordable option. I have a drill press but have found myself using this more. Doesn’t take up any room and quick to set up and move around.

I was considering buying this device some time back and ended up buying a drill press instead. However there are still situations where you need to make perfectly vertical hole in something too big or too heavy to be placed on a drill press’ table. Accu Drill Mate is what you need in those situations.
Solidly and aesthetically made Accu Drill Mate requires some assembly, which takes 3 minutes. It takes drill bits from 1.5 to 10 mm. It is easy to use. Not only it enables you to drill in perfect 90 degree angle but you can also set it for 75, 60 and 45 degrees to the left or right. It also allows you to drill in pipes or cylinders thanks to the cut in the base of it. It is equipped with a stop to prevent you from drilling too deep. Finally it makes lining up the drill with a center of your stock fast and easy.
Size of a base, around 4.5 x 6″, is a good compromise between stability and ability to fit confined spaces. Total height is 13.5″. Opening in the base is about 3.25″ (86mm to be more precise) and this is how big hole you could drill given you have such drill bit.
Overall very neat device and certainly worth the money. I’m very pleased with it.

This is an amazing tool! It takes minutes to put together and start using. It’s designed very well and very easy to use. For a smaller shop like mine, it is perfect since I don’t have much room for a drill press. The Accudrillmate is also perfect for onsite uses. It is extremely portable and versatile. I love this product and it’s definitely worth the purchase.

240 holes in 2 hours! 1/4″ Forstner bit with a 1/4″ shank. Making a pegboard to hold my wife’s sewing spools. My standing drill press doesn’t have a throat deep enough, so I went looking – found this delightful tool. For what I asked it to do, it was the perfect tool. Easy assembly. Adjustments to slide stop and angle of drill held throughout the project. The angle adjustment is not infinitely variable – but it is positive. There is slight movement of the assembly (a millimeter or two), but once the bit started there were zero problems. 3/8″ chuck makes sense; this is not an industrial tool. I’d probably go 4.5 stars, but a 4 is too low. Thanks!

A wider base would be nice for what I use it for since I have multiple holes fairly close together! Also the stop but striped out prior to it even getting set up in the correct location. Something other than plastic would be benifical to use as a stopping point! Other than that it’s been what I’ve needed!

I Just received The Drillmate 1318 about an hour ago and I started to play around with it.
1: It is almost a the perfect tool accessory that helped me drill a hole in a straight downward angle.
2: Even drilling a hole into a pipes and wooden dowels without even the bit slipping
3: with the design of the base, I can drill a center.
The Drillmate 1318 is awesome.
However there is one slight hiccup though.
The DM-1318 should have an upgraded model that is equipped with a 1/2 chuck instead of a 3/8 chuck.
I had to use a 1/2 chuck adapter to attach it to the one on the Drive-Head but unfortunately it leaves very little wiggle-room to attach a drill bit to work on the material.
