Take one plunge with our Portable Drill Guide and you'll instantly feel the qualities that set it apart from the rest. Smooth, precise and free of play, it gives you the accuracy and control of a drill press with the portability of a hand drill. Just attach your drill to the 1/4 inch hex shank and drill away. Robust handles with comfortable rubber casings provide a substantial feel, while the hefty 1/2 inch chuck grips large bits with ease. Unlike similar guides, ours drills at any angle from 0 degree to 60 degree using the easy-to-read protractor scale. The depth stop lets you drill to the same depth again and again, nice for repetitive tasks like shelf pins. Mounting holes on the base accept shop-made jigs, while the V-notches let you center holes in dowels and other round stock. Finally, two included pins can be installed in the base to straddle your work. This centers the bit over the edge—a great solution for doweling.
