Milescraft 1312 DrillBlock- Handheld Drill Guide

Product Information

You could also start with two separate pieces of wood, as long as they are square and the same height. Use of two blocks enables perfect alignment between all the holes - one block is used to hold the mast while the other is stationed for each set of holes. The bushing block is held at a tight tolerance and allows you to drill a hole 90° to any surface, centred on a round item or even directly into the corner of your project.

Having worked accurately, use an awl to start the hole, place the tip of the 1/8″ (3mm) bit in the hole and rotate the bit just enough to locate the centre of the hole.The pre-drill bit inserted into the marking keeps the position, so that you can hold the base body by hand alone for drilling. All bit sizes and centre lines are deeply recessed within the body of the block to ensure that they will never wear away over time. The Milescraft DrillBlock drill guide allows you to drill straight holes all of the time, on many different drilling surfaces.

However, the 75 x 75 mm base body can also be secured to the workpiece with a clamp if needed or required.

I did this so that the guide would sit against the internal corner where the upstand meets the base on the router plane. In cabinet work, we often rely on holes to be as perpendicular as possible for accuracy, alignment, etc, and even when we do have a drill press it is not always possible to take the workpiece to the machine. With most drill guides, the drill templates are fixed and often arranged in several sizes fixed next to each other.
