Milescraft 1316 CabinetMate - How to Create Shelf Pins

Ever wonder how to make level, wobble-free cabinet shelves? The Milescraft CabinetMate is just the tool to get the job done. This easy to use, lightweight and durable jig is a great alternative to shop-made jigs, which typically wear out after just a few uses.
The CabinetMate shelf pin jig has a rigid main body, indexing pins and a self-centering, spring-loaded drill bit. The custom spring-loaded-brad point drill bit allows the holes you drill to self-center with the holes on the main body. This bit is pre-set to bore a crisp hole with consistent depth for a perfect fitting shelf pin. The CabinetMate also comes with a built-in closed storage compartment for your bit and indexing pins.
The CabinetMate allows you to accurately drill eleven holes, evenly spaced at 32mm apart, in just one setting. This innovative tool can be used on cabinet sides before assembly, already assembled cabinets and face-frame or frameless cabinets. A stand-out feature of the CabinetMate is that it also allows you to mark the locations for Euro-style hinges. This tool comes with the 1/4″ self-centering drill bit. If you are looking for a very affordable, high quality, and extremely versatile cabinet jig, the new Milescraft CabinetMate is the only one you will need to look at.

So I bought one of these and tried it on pieces scrap white pine, MDF and maple.

A couple of problems I found when using this. One, the drill bit does not have a flat spot on the shank. Resulting in the bit slipping out. Two, the spring will work itself out of the keeper.And it's a pain to put back. Fix those and you got a pretty good jig.

I own one, i find some holes loose, maybe I need to make sure that I don't move the drill around while im drilling. even slight movement will have a tendency to make holes larger than needed to be. it will keep spacing correct, but wont help with alighment or keep the hole the right size, because you can still move the drill around or push the drill on wrong angle while drilling, specially on already assembled cabinet, since you are drilling vertically.

When we bought our q/4" jig a number of years ago, it only came with two 1/4" alignment pegs. It did not include a 5mm. Is it sold separately?

I'm experiencing tear out in the plywood I'm drilling into. What are some possible causes?
