Aluminium Drill Guide
This aluminium angle drill guide offers ultra-smooth movement, is extremely precise and is free of play. It is a highly versatile and portable drill press that allows you to drill accurate holes anywhere and at any angle between +/- 60°. The sliding headstock is precision machined from aluminium and features two, 35mm long, linear bearings made from a hardened tool steel that allows the headstock to glide smoothly back and forth on the 300mm steel guide rods, without side movement.
A knurled brass knob locks the depth stop in position for drilling repetitive and precise depths, with a maximum travel of 240mm. The three jaw, 10mm geared chuck rotates on two sealed for life roller bearings to protect from dust ingress and features a 1/4″ hex drive shaft for use with mains and cordless power drills. The cast aluminium base has a precision machined underside which is fitted with a no-mar polymer pad to prevent the surface of the workpiece from damage and to ensure a high friction, non slip base. The base has a large footprint of 170mm x 150mm to guarantee a stable, perfectly flat platform and features 4 mounting holes and a V notch for drilling round stock. The base has a wide aperture to accept drill bits up to 65mm, making the guide ideal for use with large diameter drill bits such as saw tooth and forstner bits.
Quadrants on each side of the base allow for the drilling angle to be accurately and securely set between +/-60° by rotating the two hand grips, and can be locked off at 90° for drilling perfectly perpendicular holes. The two main guide rods can be positioned to sit 25mm below the level of the base to allow for self-centering drilling when fitting a mortice lock into a door.
This is an exceptional well made drill guide with zero play, that will allow for the drilling of precise holes, at precise angles and to precise depths. ©
