KWB Drill Guide/Drill JIG Ø 44899 MM DRILLBLOCK for Precise and Straight Drilling ON Surfaces, Round Materials, and Edges Including Grip Points

Product Information

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. 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 The Big Gator V-drill guide is designed for people who want an easy-to-use drill guide but with a wide variety of hole sizes. This guide features 17 individual holes, ranging from 1/8 inches to 3/8 inches to assist you in DIY and commercial projects. It is the perfect tool for getting the right-sized hole every single time – and you can use this versatile drill guide on different materials like wood, plastic, and metal without worrying about wear and tear.

Drawing a line: If the hole you are drilling is near the edge of the workpiece, and you are without a drill press, you can draw a perpendicular line adjacent to the surface to guide you.

If you have one of those portable drills with a built-in bubble level on it and you’ve been wondering what it’s used for? – Now you know. 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. Many portable drill guides come with a pivoting base. This feature allows you to pivot the guide to the end of the rods at an appropriate angle. With the guide holding your drill at the desired angle, you can rest assured knowing you won’t have to tilt your workpiece to achieve satisfactory results. Hole sizes

It features heat-treated steel construction that is both durable and long-lasting, so you can use it in close proximity to the drill without having to worry about heat-related damage. Some manufacturers are also using aluminum because of its lighter weight. However just as the case with plastic, these drill guides are usually well-crafted they are not as long-lasting. Capacity Then your focus should be on the alignment of the bit and the marked line. You can begin by making a dimple in the wood with a center punch to keep the bit from roaming around. But as long as your eyeballing technique is good enough, this should be a piece of cake. This 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. 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.Consider getting a model that is made with heat-resistant materials. Drilling holes generate heat which can damage your drill guide if it is not heat-resistant – leading to premature wear, and ultimately a shorter life span. 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.
