I'm a one man cabinet shop and I've used this jig for more than a few years now and I actually like it. You can pay a lot more money for similar devises, but for the money this jig works pretty well.

Needed extra long shanks to drill in candles. Bits are of excellent quality.

There are times you just cannot use a drill press. This device works better than it has a right to. I have used it to guide very deep 3/8" holes as well as with Forstner bits. Very pleased. I am still reserving judgement as to how long it will hold up. I do my best to avoid letting the drill bit flutes contact the pilot hole to minimize wear.

Just used the 3/4 inch carbide forstner bit I bought for boring spoke holes in headboard and footboard I'm making. So far 54 of the 108 holes are complete and I can highly recommend this bit over other forstner bits I've had experience with. Chip extraction is great and even though I'm boring in cherry there has been no sign of burning. No question I'd buy these again.

Had to drill a hole through an 8"x4"x4" block of wood (the long way) on my bench-top drill press. In order to do that, I had to drill from both ends with the extender attached. It worked beautifully with a clean hole that met almost perfectly in the middle. Highly recommended.

These bits are the bomb diggity. Carbide tips mean less time sharpening compared to traditional HSS bits. Less time sharpening means more time working, less wear, longer bit life. Seriously, if you're buying bits (drill, router, saw) get a quality product and enjoy working like a pro.
the jig is great when you can't take the piece to the press. I added a 3/8" nylon washer between the stop collar on the bit and the jig. reduces wear, heat, and maintains speed.

Haven't used the drill guide yet, but I have used the Forstner bit in my drill press. The bit cuts like it is butter. I will certainly purchase more of the bits.

I wanted to drill forty four 3/4" holes for dogs in my woodworking bench and wanted them to be straight and perpendicular to the tabletop. I attempted other jigs to do this job, but none were satisfactory for me. This jig, along with the 3/4" long shank carbide Forstner bit worked excellent for me. I am drilling through 2 inches of hardwood and the carbide really helped. Very good product.

Works very well with the Jig-It system I got for making/mounting cabinet doors in our new kitchen. I would give it a "5" if I could easily get the same thing elsewhere. Other "long" shank bits are not the same shaft dia. for the whole length. So, while the JigIt system was great, I can't get the bit locally if I'm in a pinch.

A Forstner bit is a Forstner bit. What can you say except it works. What is really outstanding is the delivery time - ordered on the 15th and arrived on the 19th. Way to go Rockler. Keep using USPS for small stuff, it's much faster.

The jig worked fine, but the long shanks 35mm bit was dull after three holes in oak.

Bought this bit to work with the Rockler Jig It guide. I was working next to someone with a different guide and a box store bit same drill and they were drilling holes at a pace of 1.5 to my 1 hole. We were drilling about 2,400 holes and the other guys lasted much longer and was effortless the entire time as mine needed some help getting the job done.

Lack of drill press means too much eyeballing. This jig helped very much to keep my forstner bit straight with my hand drill.
