For professionals and woodworking enthusiasts who demand absolute accuracy, Mafell’s new line of drilling stations represents a significant leap forward. Engineered with meticulous German precision and constructed from premium materials, these drill guides are designed to elevate your drilling experience. The core innovation lies in their lightweight yet exceptionally rigid single aluminum column, combined with an ingenious iris-like guide roller system. This combination delivers unprecedented accuracy, making every hole precisely where you need it. When you need to Drill With Guide, Mafell offers the ultimate solution.
The Mafell “S” series models further enhance functionality, offering precise angle adjustments up to +/- 45°. This feature, coupled with an innovative template accessory system, empowers users to create highly accurate series of patterned holes with ease and repeatability. Notches integrated into the base plate ensure effortless alignment to marked locations, while an optional parallel fence provides a stable reference for end grain drilling or consistent hole placement from the timber’s edge. This level of control is essential for tasks requiring intricate and precise drilling patterns.
Mafell drill stands are thoughtfully equipped with both top and bottom stops, streamlining repetitive drilling tasks and ensuring consistent depth. An adjustable tensioning cable ingeniously returns the drill to its starting position, enhancing workflow efficiency and reducing fatigue during prolonged use. Crucially, Mafell drill stations are engineered for compatibility with high-quality drill bits, including WoodOwl Ultra Smooth Tri-Cut Auger Bits. This compatibility ensures clean, smooth, and accurate holes in a variety of timber types, maximizing the performance of your drill with guide setup.
Beyond WoodOwl, Mafell drill stations also boast compatibility with drills like the [Makita 6302H 1/2” Drill](/makita-6302h-1-2-drill “Makita 6302H 1/2″ Drill”).
