In this case, the main body is made of die-cast aluminum, which is both light and strong.
The base has lines that make it easy to find the center.
The depth of the hole can be freely set by moving the stopper.
This type of screw has a large diameter and is very easy to tighten.
The K-801 is no longer made. This is the new version. This page has information about the product. 10mm drill chuck with a 10mm shank and a round, three-sided shank. Total length: 260mm. Stroke: 130mm. Weight: 1,350g, which is about the same as a drill.
Attention! This drill guard does not work with all drills. Please make sure that the drill shaft is the right size before you buy it. This page has information about the product. Chuck: 10mm drill chuck with a 10mm drill chuck shank. It is 260mm long, and the blade is 130mm long. It weighs 1,350g. Be careful when you use it. Do not use it for anything else than what the guide says it should be used for. Don’t forget to wear a pair of dust-proof glasses to protect your eyes when you’re working. You should make sure that all of the chucks and screws are in place before you start to use them. If you want to use drill chuck adapters, air tools, or impact wrenches, you can’t use them. Make sure you don’t lose the handles for the accessory chucks, the V-blocks, or the screws that go with them.
It doesn’t matter how good a drill guide is. A drill press is the only thing that can do that. People should remember this.
That said, this Kanzawa drill guide is by far the best one on the market right now. The base and the chuck holder are made of aluminum, and the guide bars are made of steel. They were made in Japan. In this case, the DX 802 is an upgraded version of the 801, but I don’t own the 801 so I don’t know what the differences are between the two.
There’s a lot of Japanese on their website, but Google Translate does a good job of translating the site. It looks like this drill guide comes in a lot of different flavors from their site.
DX802-1 has a 3/8″ hole “The chuck is 10mm wide.
The DX802-2 has a 1/2 “A (13mm) chuck, with longer guide bars.
DX802-3 has a head with an impact driver that can be used to drive things.
DX802-4 has a base that can be moved in any direction.
This writing, 7/13/20, there doesn’t seem to be a lot of 802-1 in the US. Older versions of 801 can be found at a lot of different places on the internet.
Is it worth it. You can tell right away that it is a high-quality tool when you take it out of the box. Extremely well made and polished. In this case, the hole it makes is perfectly square. This is how it works: The chuck support moves smoothly up and down the guide bars made of steel. The chuck is of good quality. It’s the drill guide for you if you have a lot of tools like Starrett, Incra, and Woodpecker. If not, then it’s hard to say. If you like good tools as much as I do, then it’s worth it.
Most drill guides have some v supports in the base so that you can drill round stock. When you put a dowel or pipe in the ground, it will stay there. A good thing about the Kanzawa is that these v supports are screwed on and can be taken off, which makes it easier to clamp the base in place. As a bonus, the base has a very good rubber non-slip bottom that helps keep it in place on the work piece.
People who work for this company need to hire a good marketing firm in the United States. They make good products, but they don’t do a good job of marketing them. There is very little information on their Japanese site.
