Mafell Drilling Station BST 650 S

Mafell's Drilling Station revolutionizes drill jigs with its iris-like roller guide system that completely prevents deflection. Its lightweight but rigid single-column design offers unprecedented accuracy thanks to its stability and unobstructed visibility when drilling. BST Drilling Stations are compatible with 1/2" chuck drills with a 43mm (approx. 1-11/16") collar.

Instead of a traditional chuck, the BST 650 S uses six vertically-located iris-like rollers. These wheels perfectly center and squeeze the drill bit from all sides, preventing any backlash or bit drift for flawless holes. The system also has an adjustable polyethylene cable that automatically returns the drill to its starting position. This saves time and reduces operator fatigue, especially when drilling horizontally or making repetitive holes.

The BST 650 S can be precisely set to +/- 45° in either direction. The drill tip always remains at base-plate level as the pivot axis, guaranteeing accuracy even when drilling angled holes. Built on a single-rail design, the BST 650 S has a completely unobstructed view of the drill tip and the layout mark, making your drilling applications that much more precise. This also leaves ample space to easily change drill bits.

To achieve a maximum drilling depth of 15.5", use with a 5.5" Bit Extender.

Note: For absolute precision and safety, it is best to pair your Drilling Station with the BST Parallel Fence. The fence keeps the station square, protects against drill torque, and accurately positions holes a consistent distance from the edge of the workpiece. It is also ideal for end grain drilling.
