    The drill guide is an updated (and improved) version of the old Port-Align sold at Sears in the 70’s. It was well made for its time and worked very well. I still have mine and haul it out every now and then for certain tasks.

    I have one of the drill mates, and I like it, my only quip with it is that it doesn't go up and down smoothly, I have tried using paste wax, and oil (but neither has gotten rid of the non smooth movements up and down), that being said, I still love the thing. I've been thinking of 3d printing something similar, but haven't had the time to design it.

    I bought one of the Milescraft drill tools a few years ago and while it ain't perfect, it comes in real handy for drilling into pipes, or in some weird place where you need a hole and it must be perpendicular.

And #3 is the I see a bit of a step between the up and down spirals. Are #2 and #3 consistent with your experience? Even with 2 and 3, I do recommend these bits.

    Gotta wonder why the handle for the drill stand isn't 90° off instead of out to the side like that. It'd make it far simpler to drill angled holes by hand if you were grabbing it opposite to the direction you're drilling because it would stop it sliding off the mark.
    You could do the same twist to centre thing that the drill stand has with those ruler stops; set them an even number of units apart, one on one side of the wood & the other on the other side, & then your centre is at the middle unit mark.

    I don't have that particular brand, so maybe Milescraft makes it more rigid than the one I have, but I find there's an awful lot of play in the device. It's good enough for getting reasonably square holes and generally does better at this than drilling freehand, but if I needed accurate holes equidistant from an edge like that, I think I'd be using something more like a shelf-pin jig or some kind of fence and router setup. That said, there are some plastic parts in the version I have, so maybe the Milescraft version is better if it's all metal.

      Sure, you can grab the bit with your hand and force it a little to the side if you try hard enough. But in actual use you have a third point of contact- the tip of the bit on the wood. The jig guides the bit as it bores into the hole and it keeps it very straight, in my experience. This is not a new idea. People have been using these for accurate drilling for many years.

    I usually love your recommendations but that milescraft drill guide is a piece of junk. It's too flimsy, the spring is too weak, and the guide itself racks and is often hard to push down. I bought one to drill dog holes in my work bench and MFT tables and ended up tossing it and just hand-drilling through a pre-drillled 2x4. I didn't even bother sending it to Goodwill lest someone spend $5 on it and think they were getting a deal. I've heard the Rockler one might actually be worthwhile but I'm also curious about the 3d printable one from USSA Design (info on their youtube channel). Until then, a 2x4 and some Wood Owl Overdrive bits are so much more reliable.

      It's too bad that there isn't a way to report stuff like this and have the company fined for not training their employees properly.

      LOL... I think most people know I have to remove the blade guard to show a saw blade, but then again, most people just watch the video instead of looking for something to point to and say "you did this wrong!"

      @@StumpyNubs you did say before that you intended to use the blade guards now in future videos. I'm trying to remember to do it in my own

      @@KillerSpud - I said I would as much as possible. I also said there are times when a guard can not be used. And if you recall, that whole video was prompted by the ridiculously nitpicky notion that I should not remove a guard to show the blade I am talking about.... This whole argument is so "internet".
