Festool Mobile drilling attachment MB 40-Set

The MB 40 mobile drilling attachment is your companion when precision is required. As a compact drilling aid, it enables you to drill at right angles with pinpoint accuracy and repeat accuracy, no matter where you are working. Versatile stops and exact depth adjustment allow you to drill vertical holes, end face holes and a series of holes. For a good view of the drilling point, you can couple the dust extraction directly with the base plate. As a further FastFix attachment, it is ideally suited to your drilling applications in wood, metal and plastic, thus expanding the range of possible uses for your Festool cordless drills.
