Tools and Hardware Reviews of Rockler Drill Guide KitCustomer Review: A Decent Drill Jig that Serves the Purpose Summary: 4 Stars
Having needed a jig like this for past projects, I went ahead and bought this from Rockler through Amazon (along with a couple of other Rockler products to save on shipping). I have since used it to make my wife's Christmas gift (last) which is a holder for all of her spools of thread. The specific use was in placing 116 3/16" steel pins in a board cut to the shape of a large spool of thread.
Overall, it worked for the purpose which was to get each pin as straight as possible. I did find some play in the jig so I had to be careful to use the play to my benefit (pin angled ever so slightly up) but it was certainly WAY better than if I had tried to do it by hand. For the price, I'd say it can't be beat. The plastic guide is also jut the thing for making holes in dowel rods or at the corner of piece of wood.
I gave the tool 4 stars only for the bit of play, but again I'd say it's certainly worth the money.
Description of Rockler Drill Guide KitGet straight, true holes without a drill press! Just pop a steel bushing into the plastic guide and your hand drill will bore perfectly perpendicular holes even on spheres and cylinders. Ingenious design also centers your drill bit on corners, a tough hole to start. Includes 6 bushings for 3/16", 1/4", 5/16", 3/8", 7/16" and 1/2" bits.
