Star-M Rulo drill stand, used to accurately position holes for both large and small work is ideal for chairmaking, furnituremaking, 2nd fix carpentry, roughing out carvings, in fact any situation where you need precisely controlled drilling conditions. In small workshops the Star-M Rulo drill stand can offer much of the versatility of a pillar drill whilst occupying a fraction of the space.

The cast aluminium base has a grippy rubber sole to resist movement when other clamping methods are not possible and four screw holes for fixing, either to the workpiece, a sub-base, or a shop made jig.

Two built in V blocks allow cylindrical work to be drilled accurately, for example intersecting chair stretchers. For maximum stability we recommend screwing the drill stand to the bench for this operation.

With the auger set to plumb, two dowel pins (included) can be screwed into diagonally opposite holes on the underside of the base and rotated into registration to centre the bit on a beam up to 5" (125mm) wide for drilling mortices etc.  To establish repeatable offset for angled work like stair ballustrades we recommend screwing a piece of timber to the base to act as a fence.

The two integral sectors for setting the angle between the bit and the surface of the work have a range of 45 degrees either side of perpendicular. You can set the desired angle with either one, but please be sure to lock both Bristol levers before commencing drilling.

Both legs have depth stops to restrict the depth of the hole as required.

Recommended for use with corded drills or cordless drills over 14.4v (not impact drivers).

• Max bit diameter: 57mm
• Max bit length: 220mm
• Chuck capacity: 1.5mm to 13mm
• Shank 3 flats
• Max RPM: 2500 (reckon to use slower speeds to maximise available torque)

Please note - The Star-M drill stand intentionally has a small amount of play in the guide bearing. This allows the lead screw or point of the bit to do its job. Without the play there would be a greater likelihood of oversize or conical holes.

Star-M Combination Auger Bit 7 piece set includes: 6mm, 9mm, 12mm, 15mm, 18mm, 21mm, 25mm drill bits.

Designed to be used with either a power drill or with a traditional hand brace this set of 7 longer length Japanese combination auger bits from Star-M are first-rate. These bits have a threaded centre with a rounded single spur to ensure that the edge of the hole is perfectly clean and tidy while removing the excess wood so eliminating clogging - perfect for softwood and less dense hardwoods.

Star-M 19 pocket denim tool roll has a versatile pocket format with one row having 14 pockets with widths ranging from 70mm down to 25mm to take items up to 330mm long, and a smaller set of 5 30mm & 25mm wide for shorter items up to 150mm.
