Drill Guides

[Dave Lame]

Hi guys,

I need a simple portable drill guide to assist in drilling straight and angled holes. Any suggestions?

Tks

Or DAGS "Drill Guide"

I'm not sure what features you are looking for. Woodcraft sells one for $14 (item 140876140876). It includes bushings for 3/16", 1/4", 5/16", and 3/8", 7/16" and 1/2" drills. It works as expected, provided there is a bushing for the size of hole you want to drill.

You could of course just drill a hole in a block of wood with your drill press, and use that as a guide.

I picked up the "Wolfcraft" portable drill guide for $7 on clearance last week from HD. Not the greatest quality item in the world, but definitely works, and much better than the $35+ regular price...
