You have just invented the most easy to use doweling jig ever. This is one of the most innovative tools Woodpecker's has ever come out with. Give Ben a raise and be nice to him.

This tool could replace the drill press in my small shop. Well done.

That's awesome 👍, I'm really going to get this. My wife is really particulate about things being centered.

Excellent products! Thanks!!!

This is awesome! I'll definitely be ordering

Great info as always. Thank you

A well machined (as you drill guide is) angle stop would be great. And, a wonderful tool you’ve made.

You guys are so very clever!

Looks impressive. I have a drill guide from another brand and the issue I run into is that when drilling through thick hardwood there’s a lot of wobble. I have to clamp the guide down to prevent this. Ot sure if this fence system will help but I might give it a try. I also wish these were more available in Canada. Shipping fees run almost $100.

Lord I'm glad you guys don't sell kitchenware. 😁 Can you imagine if the wife was trying fill the kitchen with Woodpecker-ware at the same time I was trying to fill the garage with Woodpecker-tools? 🤦‍♂‍ So, I'm at a point where I should just setup a monthly auto-transfer on my bank account to you. When the amount reaches enough to buy the next tool on my wish list, you simply deduct that amount from the balance and ship it out! Easy-Peasy, kind-of a lay-away plan of sorts. 😃 Anyway, nice tool guys, but I already have a long wish list that I'm working through.

His shirt!!! Same colors we all know and love from the Woodpeckers brand.

A hole in the center of the fence when in outrigger mode into which could be installed an indexing pin would allow quick and easy drilling of consistently spaced holes referenced off each other, such as for shelf pins or bench dog holes.

Add an angle adjust to the base for non-perpendicular ops. Nice product!

The cabinet base feet (2:28) is near to two corners. Drilling near corners with the auto line drill guide will be difficult, because it has only one fence. Also drilling in the small side of wood, near the edge. Apart from that Woodpeckers auto line drill guide is a very good tool. Greetings from Germany!

How about an indexing hole/pin in the fence- so that it can be used to drill ‘shelf pin’ holes or similar? So in your setup- drill the first hole using the fence against the base of the piece- as per your demonstration- but drill a 5mm hole. Then flip the fence to stabiliser mode- measure and index the 5mm hole/pin into the first drilled hole, in the piece. And proceed to drill the indexed 5mm holes along the piece using the side fence/stops. This also satisfies the suggestion for a pivot point to drill an arc. Two birds, one stone- Can we do it?

Fantastic for limited space workshops

This is a MUST for serious precision work.., however --- if you are not OCD when it comes to a clean and organized work area, AND obsessive about tool and accessory control --- many of the -- MANY -- parts WILL get lost --- very quickly. 10/10 on the Fit and Finish. (I'm a little weird... I admire beautiful tools... sometimes more than what they can accomplish!)

Please add a center line/mark on the fence for when drilling on the side of an item. It would allow for aligning two holes in adjacent planes (knock down).

I just found this product and was thinking about using it to drill pilot holes (for piers/boathouses) through the girders and round piling so that the 5/8 or 3/4 threaded rods ("through bolts") can be inserted through them. Those are always drilled by hand and what you always have is the entrance holes are nice looking and in line with each other but the exit holes are staggered because its such a long distance to drill and keep perfectly straight. Cosmetically, it would look so much better to have all threaded rods in line on both sides of the piling and not just on one side. Basically I need it to make it through a 1.5" thick girder, then through a piling usually 7-13" thick, and possibly a 2nd girder on the opposite side of piling that would also be 1.5" thick. We use 17" long ship auger bits to drill them out. What is the maximum amount of distance I would be able to drill with this drill guide? Can longer rods (not the fence rods but the rods supporting the drill itself) be purchased that would increase the depth and drill bit length? Even if I can't drill the entire distance needed, a hole that 3/4 of the way through would probably be enough to keep my exit holes in line with each other.

Incredible. Thank you Woodpeckers. Again and again, I am not affiliated with any part of Woodpeckers. Just love "fine" tools that makes woodworking a joy. Amen!

The sequence showing the setup for the corner offset only works if the hole is the same distance from the side and end of the workpiece. It won't work if, for example, the hole is closer to the end than the side. I'm sure you already know that, but please make it clear in your presentation.

Love my auto-line but am having a problem with square alignment of bit. Seems that the chucks hex shank has a tiny bit of lateral play, whereby with a drill attached, a bit can be either on or off center of mark on workpiece depending on how you press down on the drill. With drill depressed to just above work peice surface, any shift in weight distribution on the drill results in lateral motion of the drill bit around the marked spot on workpiece. So it seems that after "centered and squared" drilling has begun, the bit could wobble off square at any point throughout the remaining descent. I realize that the "straightness" of the drill bits would be a factor, as well as the drill...variations in tolerance would accumulate and show up as alignment discrepancies at the end of the drill bit. But should the Auto-line exhibit any lateral play with a perfectly straight drill bit and no drill attached, manipulating only the bare hex shank? Thank you!!!

its the best tools ello from México

WOw! That pretty much eliminates a drill press! Wish I would have seen this before I bought mine.

When Ben decides to make this drill guide tilt with telescopic stops let me know.

But no center hole in the fence to allow for drilling on an arc or radius. This was suggested a few times, at least once by me in an email back in January. Being able to dill a series of holes on a radius around a circle or an arc would be very useful. Seems like all you need is a hole in the fence and a center pin to do the basic stuff, but a flat plate with a pin and could be secured with double stick tape to the work surface so that the fence could drop over would mean a center hole was not required and would be even better. double stick tape should be fine since no lateral load is placed on it like there would be with a router circle jig.

Angle and it'll be ready for me to purchase.

Great tool! I can think of several uses for the furniture we build in the shop everyday. Looking forward to getting it in my hands and putting it to work!

How about being able to purchase a 2nd fence? Then I could still use one fence and have one to clamp on?

I don't have a drill press but now I wonder if I will ever need one with this... Hmmm

Would be nice to be able to use a forstner bit of 35mm for hinge holes

6:00 Unfortunately, the edge guide isn't opened at its center so that we could use a router bit to smooth out the edges of some wooden piece. Btw, is the drill guide precise enough (no wobbling) in order to use router bits?

Could this drill guide be used to bore horizontally like in boring a pen blank? Thanks

Is it possible to add engraved measures on the rods?

Any chance of interchangeability with the guide rail kit? I already have lots of rails!

Drilling at a angle would good

Are the extension rods for the drill guide the same as one of the rod sets sold with the multi-function router base?

Will the extension rods from the new router base work on this tool?

kick ass. how is the g10 selling??????/

If this had a stop bar similar to a plunge router I would buy it in an instant

Let's say that you wanted to drill an 8 inch hole through a piece of 4x4 that's 8 inches long. Is there a drill guide that will let you interchange the two rods that the drill guide glides up and down on to longer ones?

Since it is used to drill round holes, why does it have an oval shaped opening on the base?

Is there a mechanism to control depth?

Why is the extension rod on the side not screwed in directly?

I would like to send the complete set of auto line drill guides, how much does it cost to Germany? Kind regards

should have added a large screw in handle on the side or angled up to help hold the device better when using larger bits or holesaws, having fingers right next to bit on base is dangerous if it grabs

Would be great if you had a version that would accept Festool rods to work with my track. Perhaps bushings in the base to accept different diameter rods.

1:26 I don't have the trained eye of a master woodworker, but that looks longer than 2 feet away from the bit.

Can i make new order?

Needs a larger base option

Thank you for the demonstrations. Since I have pre-ordered and Customer Service has my email address, it would be nice if they would reach out to me and describe the upgrade offers, rather than me having to research them and then find their email address. I'm not sure a "cold" email from me would connect them with my specific order and I don't like to wait on a telephone line.

I order but been cancel by seller...?

That looked like more than 2 feet. Maybe I heard wrong.

Hi, great channel, unfortunately because of KZfaq and their live thumbnail previews which are so annoying, I won't be watching any more channels until they give us the option to turn them off, keep up the good work, hopefully it will change soon.

Is this device shipping?

thats a pretty small hole. so much for hinge hardware. and why do you need to first put the centering pin in the side track. Why can't the long rod just go right into the base.

Can I come live with you, and share all you wonderful tools? I can cook like a beast and life hay barrels better than Lennie from of Mice and Men.

Truly, this should have the ability to do angle cuts. Yeah, you can make an angle block but it's mediocre in it's design at present

Pretty frustrating that you are advertising this and you are back ordered to June for an order I placed in January.

Paid SGD 28.18 BUT ...CANCEL MONEY HAVE REFUND

not new just changed ben around for long time

"almost 2 feet"? I need exactly 24 inches!

This product very nice but no sow moreamazon

... to the corner, two edges. Sorry!

$270 for a drill guide? Seriously?

Too many parts and cannot drill in at an angle. I'm not interested
