Product Information

A drill guide is a supplementing tool that is used to help with foolproof drilling. Mounting your drill machine on this jig adds much-needed stability and efficiency to your drilling tasks. This gadget is the perfect solution to avoid wasting your precious material and furniture. Ensure the drill guide you are choosing is portable. This means it should be light in weight and small enough to fit inside your toolbox. Our team has put together the factors which will help you choose the right drill guide to include in your tool kit. Accuracy The base of a drill bit guide can be either made of metal or plastic. Despite adding more bulk and weight, the metallic bases tend to provide better precision and stability. Sometimes, you may find yourself having to drill precisely sized holes for your project. While you can adjust their size with the right drill bit, a drill guide ensures every hole matches in both design and depth.

Drill guides most commonly come with angle-ranged drilling features. Drilling can be done at various angles, starting from 45 degrees to 90 degrees. So, if you have to work with angle drill guide, you must ensure that your drill guide comes with angle measurements and options. The scale on the drill guide will reduce the hassle of constant measuring and calculation. Material Apart from this, the drill guide also increases the rate and speed at which we drill. The drill guides make drilling fast, preventing us from making unnecessary, repetitive measurements. They come with adjustable measurements, which provide accuracy. You can set the drill guides to puncture both vertically and horizontally at different angles. Factors To Consider While Buying a Drill GuideThis drill guide is coated with a light oil that keeps metal from rusting and corrosion. Moreover, you can count on it for all your drilling needs because it’s suitable for drilling over flat surfaces, round parts, and corners. Despite being nothing more than a jig that helps you drill straight holes, a good portable drill guide can help you in a variety of situations – not selective projects or surfaces. Edge drilling As long as the intention is to make a perfectly vertical hole, the bit should be kept still at 90 degrees to the surface of the material. There are many ways to achieve this aim. Here’s how it’s done: Drill Leveler

The first rule of investing in a drill guide is to never compromise on the tool’s accuracy. The primary function of a drill guide is to ensure accuracy, and if it fails to do so, the drill guide is faulty. The fault could be in the size of the drill holes or with the measurements marked on the device regarding the angles. When it comes to drilling, angled holes are the most difficult to get right. Even with a drill press, the natural design of these holes is always challenging.Place it on the side to create a perfectly flat bottom “L” exactly where you want to make the hole. Hold or clamp the jig the position so that the bit pressed tight against the inside corner. Then drill down. Before you get started, make a small starting divot using an awl so that your drill bit has a spot to land. You will need to focus on creating the right 90-degree angle. If you a starting divot, your placement will be set from the start, which allows you to focus on the drilling. Right-angle Jig: Start with some wood scraps. Nail together a couple of 1x4 or 1x2 pieces to form a right-angle. Ensure you make each wood piece square so that the angle is accurate. Plastic bases, on the other hand, are usually transparent to allow you to see the other side. But these are less stable and quite fragile so be very cautious when purchasing one of these. Tips for Choosing the Right Portable Drill Guide

Try to avoid drill guides with moving parts. While functional at the face, these drill guides tend to be more prone to breaking than the ones with fixed parts.Old CD: If you have an old compact disk or DVD lying around, what you do is place the label-side down and reflective-side up. Put it on the workpiece that it’s centered over where you want the hole. Mark your spot, set the bit into the hole and position it to form a straight line with the reflection in the CD. This indicates that it’s vertical. Portable drill guides that feature a pressing mechanism typically have a section where you can attach power drills of specific drill bit sizes. The base then attaches securely to your workpiece, allowing you to drill both straight and angled holes. Some of these come with a magnetic drill base whose electromagnetic feature allows it to firmly attach to metallic surfaces Some drills also come with levelers to drill horizontally. But the slight disadvantage to this method is that the process depends greatly on the skill of the operator and the position of the workpiece. Metal Square
