Designed for compatible Festool cordless drills with FastFix, the MB 40 helps you drill straight, repeatable 90° holes wherever the job happens, whether in the workshop, on site, in cabinetry, installation work or furniture manufacturing. It is ideal for vertical drilling, depth-limited holes, shelf support holes, hinge drilling, short hole rows in the 32mm system and general drilling in wood, metal and plastic. With an exact depth stop setting up to 50mm, integrated markings for easy alignment, a rubberised non-slip base and dust extraction connection for a clearer drilling point, the MB 40 turns compatible Festool drills into a highly controlled mobile drilling solution. It is compact, accurate, practical and very Festool: neat, system-based and made to solve real jobsite problems.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"definition-products\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandout features of the Festool MB 40 mobile drilling system\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe Festool MB 40 is designed for precision when freehand drilling is simply not accurate enough.
