This is a drilling attachment designed for straight, controlled 90-degree drilling. Model Number 577971. If you need cleaner alignment for cabinet hardware, shelf pin rows, end-grain boring, or repeat holes in panels, this setup gives you much better control than freehand drilling.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe big reason this attachment matters is repeatability. The MB 40 is built for boring holes at a right angle, and it does that with a stable guide column layout, clear base markings, and a depth stop with a readable scale. Festool rates the depth stop setting range from 0 to 2 inches, with markings in both inches and millimeters. On real work, that means less guessing, fewer blown-through parts, and better consistency when you're drilling for fittings, shelf supports, or hardware that needs to line up across multiple parts.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIt is also a more flexible setup than a fixed bench tool. The MB 40 is meant to bring precision to the workpiece instead of forcing you to bring every part back to the shop. That matters for kitchen installation, furniture building, assembly work, and field adjustments where full-size panels, installed casework, or vertical surfaces are not practical to move. Festool also includes accessories that widen what this drilling guide can do, including a side fence, end stop components, hole series pins, and a guide rail adapter for longer or wider workpieces.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFestool built this one around practical control features instead of gimmicks. The rubberized base helps the attachment stay planted while you start the hole. The base plate markings help with positioning. The stroke is 7-3\/8 inches with depth stop and spring, or 8 inches without depth stop and without spring, so you have room to work on different drilling tasks. Maximum drilling capacity is listed at 1-9\/16 inches in softwood with a Forstner bit and 5\/8 inch in softwood with an auger bit, which covers a lot of common cabinet, furniture, and light installation work.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDust collection is another smart part of the design. The base accepts a 1-1\/16 inch, or 27 millimeter, dust extraction connection. Hooked to a compatible extractor and hose, the attachment helps clear chips from the drilling point so you can keep the mark in view and reduce cleanup. That is especially useful when drilling rows of holes or working inside finished spaces where sawdust and chips create extra mess fast.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOn the system side, the MB 40 uses the FastFix holder interface and is intended for compatible Festool cordless drills. Festool specifically lists it for CXS\/TXS 12, CXS\/TXS 18, TPC 18\/4, TDC 18\/4, C 18, and T 18 models with FastFix holder. The tool chuck fits quickly without extra tools, and CENTROTEC compatibility helps speed up bit changes when you're moving between pilot holes, hardware holes, and final fit-up work.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWho is this for? Cabinet installers, finish carpenters, furniture builders, remodelers, and serious DIY users who care about drilling accuracy more than brute force. If your work involves hardware placement, shelf pin systems, hinge cups, edge drilling, or repeat drilling in panels, the Festool MB 40 Mobile Drilling Attachment Set solves a real problem. If you only drill rough holes in framing lumber once in a while, it is probably more tool than you need. But if precision is the job, this attachment earns its spot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis attachment is built to work alongside compatible cordless drills, so if you need to round out the rest of your setup, browse the full line of \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/festool-power-tools\"\u003eFestool power tools\u003c\/a\u003e or check the broader selection of \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/drills-driver-accessories\"\u003edrill and driver accessories\u003c\/a\u003e for bits, chucks, and guides that pair with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails id=\"product-benefits\" class=\"acc\"\u003e\u003csummary\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAccurate Hole Placement on Panels and Edges\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"acc-body\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"img\"\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0933\/1582\/5958\/files\/50898466799910_4d284ab6397e.jpg\" alt=\"Festool MB 40 Mobile Drilling Attachment Set drilling a straight hole in a cabinet panel with dust extraction connected during furniture and installation work\" class=\"tnblock-img\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"copy\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen shelf pins, hardware holes, or cabinet fittings need to land exactly where you planned them, this attachment gives your drill a guided path instead of leaving everything to hand pressure and eye judgment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned for 90-degree drilling with repeatable positioning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBase plate markings help line the attachment up on the workpiece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports 32 millimeter hole series work for cabinet and furniture layouts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails id=\"product-benefits-2\" class=\"acc flip\"\u003e\u003csummary\u003e\u003ch2\u003eControlled Drilling Depth Without Guesswork\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"acc-body\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"img\"\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0933\/1582\/5958\/files\/50898466799910_196248852575.jpg\" alt=\"Festool MB 40 Mobile Drilling Attachment Set boring a precise depth hole in a wood dowel setup on a workbench for woodworking and joinery\" class=\"tnblock-img\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"copy\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe built-in depth adjustment is a big deal when you need consistent blind holes.
