The Milescraft DrillMate Portable Drill Guide is designed for woodworkers and DIY enthusiasts needing precise straight or angled drilling capabilities. Its key benefit is enabling accurate hole placement on the edge of boards or on round stock, which can be challenging with a handheld drill alone. A potential caveat is its suitability for lighter-duty tasks, as extreme force might compromise its stability. This versatile tool attaches to most 3/8" and 1/2" cordless drills and features adjustable angles, built-in centering channels for round stock, and a durable chuck.

Ensure the drill chuck is fully tightened onto the DrillMate's chuck and that the DrillMate's chuck is securely tightened onto the drill bit.
Verify that the angle setting on the DrillMate is fully engaged and locked into position before drilling. Check for any debris obstructing the angle mechanism.
Confirm that your drill has a 3/8" or 1/2" chuck. Ensure the drill's chuck is opened wide enough to accept the DrillMate's chuck and is then tightened securely.
