Hi Nick, thanks for the comment. I am going to assume the Rockler is similar to the Milescraft. Rockler maybe a little smoother but who knows. I am happy with the Milescraft.... Thanks for watching....
I bought one of these a little over a year ago for the specific reason of making dog holes. Unfortunately it's still in the package because I've never gotten time to make use of it. Great video as always, thanks!
@@jldwoodworking I agree. Some day I'll get my act together and get my workshop heated and make it more user friendly year round. Definitely jealous of you woodworkers who have your shops in your homes. 👍👍
@@russellborrego1689 Ha, and because no one is ever content we are jealous of you guys with stand alone shops. Trust me getting cast iron machines into a basement is not an easy thing to do.... But yes, heat is nice :)....
I bought one, it is ok. I took the spring off as it cants the chuck/drill bit towards the shaft with the spring as there is a bit of slop in the sleeves that ride up and down the shafts. I removed the two hard plastic sleaves from the chuck carrier and replaced them with a piece of ultra slippery Teflon PTFE 1/16" thick sheet (McMaster Carr part# 8545K13) that I rolled into a cylinder. To cut the strip uses the full height of the hard plastic insert to measure for the width of the strip and marked a line with a sharpie. Cut the strip off with sharp scissors. Then roll the end of the strip around one of the steel shafts(PTFE is soft) and mark the approximate length needed to make a complete cylinder, you will have to trim off tiny amounts of the length to get it to fit perfectly into the holes in the drill chuck carriage(it should be a tight fit), push the piece of PTFE all the way to the bottom, I needed to use the edge of a 3/8" dowel to to get the PTFE piece to bottom out. There is no need to reinstall the two screw they are not necessary as the Teflon fit it tight. All the slop is gone. Reassemble the drill guide and put a thin film of gun oil, 3 in 1 oil, synthetic motor oil, or the like on the steel shafts, it will be silky smooth and it will be an excellent tool. I would recommend mounting it to a 8" or 10" square base for stability. This is a light duty, hobbyist tool, do not expect to be drilling holes for pegging mortice and tenon joints in huge timbers.

Thanks for the video. I’ve looked at this before, and it’s nice to see your demonstration.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching...
Have seen these over the years, think I’ll finally get one.
Yes, I waited till I had the dog hole need and then purchased it. Glad I did. Thanks for watching....
I have to install dog holes this year and your video may inspire me to get onto it.

Good luck with it, It went smoothly for me. Thanks for watching....
Great product.
Yup, I like it and used it again the other day. Thanks for watching....
I built a wine rack wall for a client once, used the rockler version of that drill mount. It worked great.

Wow thanks for the excellent response. You should be doing TH-cam and filming that. Thanks for watching and the excellent response.
@@jldwoodworking I have thought about doing TH-cam, but more for travel vlogging. Maybe my channel could be home, travel, and woodworking content.
