Not having the room for a drill press, the next best things is a drill guide. There are a lot of drill guides on the market. Some of them are good and some of them are bad.

Hi an welcome to this weeks video, I have had my eye on this device for some time now and finally decided to go for it, makes up for the lack of drill press in my small workshop. Hope you enjoy it.

The $299/$399 Woodpeckers Autoline Drill Guide is fixed at 90 degrees. For the tilting functionality equivalent to the UJK in this review you need the $599/$699 Autoangle Drill Guide.

great video. I especially liked how you came up with a spot for the chuck key at the end. Even if you didn't mention it.

Brilliant review Andy, looks like that could be my Christmas present from the little boss lady. Cheers buddy

Complimenti per il video sei stato molto chiaro vorrei sapere dove poterlo acquistare. grazie

Great Review, I recently got the same one after wasting time and money on the cheap ones, a definate candidate for "Buy once cry once".

[garethgordon]

Great video thanks for your time. Roy did mention that you stowed the chuck key in the chuck but did not point it out. For my part a small magnet glued to the chuck mount bridge would stow the chuck and you would never have to put it back on the bench to fall through a hole in your MFT top 😅

[Djvickers]

wonder if you can change this out to a keyless chuck

[blayne]

I was wondering what you thought of the UJK vs the Woodpecker Auto line. The price difference is about $100 in the US and I don't think I will be doing much angled drilling. Thanks for your insights!

Excellent review! This is exactly all the info i was looking for, thank you 😊

Nice to see you're alive and well and living in youtube.

I've had the UJK drill guide for two years. Don't use it that often, but it has been very useful in a few projects. More than accurate enough for my purposes. Helps to clamp it onto the workpiece whenever possible.

Star m the Japanese firm make a very good one. A friend of mine bought one from fine tools in Germany.
Another great review 👍

Nice to see you back Andy, great video.

[mc-ytrc]

So good to have you back mate! just the thing i've been looking for, will check it out.

[steveblewer]

Good to see you back👍
I recently purchased the deluxe edition from Rutlands. Haven't tested it yet but it seems to be good quality and very similar to the UJK version.

I think the tier of three drill guides would be this UJK, Rockler's, and Woodpeck's. All in the same range with some differences.

[karlburrows]

HEY!... good to see you back!.. missed you. good review as always. look forward to more content.

[BarisTosunTurkey]

Thank you for a great, informative video.

I'm trying to see how, if I need to drill through a ratchet to make the head pin bigger, how would I stabilize metal objects?
