I came across this earlier today. It is available at Amazon.ca but I couldn't find it on A*.co.uk.
I can see that with the addition of a custom mounting jig for whatever, this bit of kit would be useful to drill out blind holes, or even drill a precise directional hole in something too large to get under a drill press.

Hi Alastair. The design bit of the Milescraft that I like is the built in chuck, rather than relying on having the collar of the drill deciding where the centre should be. Close to the Youtube item I linked to there is "home shop" jig for drilling through a round shaft or tube. |

Aaah, yes, I agree with you..the built-in chuck does eliminate a power drill's wandering chuck syndrome? |
