Festool GD 460 Drill Stand for Carpentry

At a Glance: Precision carpentry drill stand for auger bits up to 460 mm with a maximum drilling depth of 380 mm.

The Festool GD 460 Drill Stand is built for serious timber construction, carpentry and joinery work where straight, accurate and controlled drilling is essential. Designed for use with long auger and wood drilling bits, this drill stand helps guide the drill cleanly through wooden beams, posts, frames and structural timber with far greater control than freehand drilling. With its stable rectangular base plate, smooth guide rods and secure depth setting, the GD 460 is a professional solution for repeatable bore holes in demanding wood applications.

Standout features of the Festool GD 460 drill stand

The GD 460 gives tradesmen a controlled drilling setup for long drill bits and deep timber holes. It combines a stable support base, adjustable depth stops, parallel side fences and a centering plate to help keep drilling accurate, safe and repeatable on site or in the workshop.

Product highlights

Designed for carpentry drilling: Ideal for precise bore holes in wooden structures, beams, framing timber and joinery components.
Large drilling capacity: Suitable for auger bits up to 460 mm long with a maximum drilling depth of 380 mm.
Controlled and accurate: The centering plate guides drill bits from Ø 8 mm to Ø 26 mm for cleaner, more consistent drilling.
Safer handling: Auxiliary handle on the guide carriage improves control and can be fixed in three different positions.
Repeatable depth setting: Two lockable depth stops allow accurate drilling depth adjustment when drilling multiple holes.
Stable support: Rectangular base plate with precision-milled support surface helps keep the drill stand steady on the workpiece.
Broad drill compatibility: Supplied with an adapter ring for drilling machines with Ø 57 mm or Ø 43 mm collar attachments.

Extra Information

The GD 460 is intended for drilling applications in wood and timber construction using suitable drill or auger bits.
The supplied centering plate is suitable for drill bits from Ø 8 mm to Ø 26 mm.
The included adapter ring supports drilling machines with Ø 57 mm and Ø 43 mm collar attachments.
Use the parallel side fences when repeated hole positioning from an edge is required.
Use the depth stops to reduce over-drilling and improve consistency when drilling multiple holes.

Pro Tips

Mark the drilling centre clearly before placing the drill stand to help align the centering plate accurately.
For deep holes, withdraw the bit occasionally to clear chips and reduce heat build-up.
Clamp or secure smaller timber pieces before drilling to prevent movement during operation.
Set both depth stops carefully when drilling repeated holes to the same depth.
Keep the guide rods clean for smooth carriage movement and consistent drilling control.

How to Use

Check that the drill, drill bit and collar size are suitable for the GD 460 drill stand.
Fit the drill into the stand using the correct collar size or the supplied adapter ring where required.
Install the correct auger or wood drill bit and ensure it is securely tightened in the drill chuck.
Position the drill stand on the marked drilling point and align the bit through the centering plate.
Use the parallel side fences when drilling from an edge or when repeated positioning is required.
Set the required drilling depth using the adjustable depth stops.
Hold the auxiliary handle firmly and start drilling at a controlled speed.
Guide the carriage smoothly through the cut, keeping steady pressure without forcing the bit.
Withdraw the drill carefully once the hole is complete and clear wood chips from the work area.

Features

Precision guide system: Smooth guide rods and bronze slide bearings help the carriage move cleanly and accurately during drilling.
Centering plate: Guides drill and auger bits from Ø 8 mm to Ø 26 mm for controlled entry into the timber.
Dual depth stops: Two adjustable depth stops make it easier to set and repeat drilling depth.
Auxiliary handle: Provides better grip, safer control and can be positioned to suit the working angle and operator preference.
Parallel side fences: Helps position the drill stand accurately when drilling repeated holes from an edge or reference line.
Adapter ring included: Allows fitting of drills with Ø 57 mm or Ø 43 mm collar attachments.

Benefits

Improved drilling accuracy: Helps keep long auger bits aligned, reducing wandering and improving hole quality.
Better control on site: The stable base and guided carriage make deep drilling in timber safer and more predictable.
Repeatable results: Ideal for drilling multiple holes to the same depth or position in carpentry and timber construction work.
Cleaner workmanship: Proper guidance helps produce neater, straighter holes with less risk of damaging the workpiece.
Professional Festool system fit: Designed to work as part of the Festool drilling and carpentry accessory system.

Application

Precise bore holes in wooden structures.
Timber construction and structural wood drilling.
Carpentry work using long auger bits.
Joinery and workshop drilling where guided accuracy is required.
Deep drilling into beams, posts, frames and large timber sections.
Repeat drilling where consistent depth and positioning are important.

Safety

Wear eye, ear and dust protection when drilling, especially when working with timber and long auger bits.
Make sure the drill is securely fitted into the drill stand before starting work.
Check that the drill bit is correctly tightened and suitable for the material being drilled.
Secure loose or small workpieces before drilling to prevent movement.
Keep hands clear of the rotating drill bit and the drilling path at all times.
Do not force the drill bit through the timber; use steady, controlled pressure.
Disconnect the drill from power or remove the battery before changing bits or making adjustments.
Clear chips regularly during deep drilling to reduce binding, overheating and kickback risk.
