I use a small plastic mirror, with a clearance hole drilled through the centre. Place mirror on workpiece. Drill workpiece through the hole! If drill is not perpendicular then drill and its reflection will look bent. Just line up the drill with its own reflection and then start drilling.

I use a drill guide to make a hole in a short piece of 2x2 scrap and use that as my portable jig. The drill guide also lets you drill at angles to make angle drilling jigs that can be clamped to your work for cutting pocket holes and the like.

That actually makes a lot of sense so I might give that a try in the future. I just put on handles on my wall cabinets that required making two holes per door; they came out great but certain holes were a little slanted so I had to widen them a little so the screws straighten out. This will save me a lot of time once the counter tops come in and I can finally put in the base cabinets doors.

This will sound a bit exotic but this tip is for those viewers that have a palm router with plunge base. With a plunge type spiral bit, you can effectively drill holes perpendicular on any size work piece so long as you can reach it. Pretty sure there are cordless routers if you don’t want to be tethered to a power cord and would be very portable . Just a thought.

That's a pretty nice solution when the required hole is shallow relative to the length of the drill bit. But - what do you recommend if the hole depth is comparable to the length of the bit?
@bengarland2 жыл бұрын
I usually use some scrap 4x4 posts. Cut 2 pieces perfectly square (on the ends) with a miter saw, about 6” long each. Then lay the blocks flat at right angles to one another, so that the inside corner that is formed is where your desired hole will be. When you align the bit into the corner of the two pieces of wood, and the wood is flat against the drilling surface, then you know that the bit is straight in the X and Y directions. If that doesn’t make sense I can take a photo. Honestly the method in this video is ridiculously complicated compared to the two 4x4 block method. Edit: check this video at 3:30 mark: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f96ghcultcvOeqc.html It’s basically the same concept, except this guy cut a single piece of wood to contain a 90 deg angle instead of butting two 4x4 blocks against one another (or smaller wood if your bit is less than 3.5” long)

I like the concept of using multiple pieces glued together to make a hole jig. Could make a jig for different size holes using the same concept. Was planning of making holes to hold coins for different types of wooden cell phone stands of various sizes. I would have used a drill bit the size of the holes inserted into the holes of all the cut pieces before glueing all the small pieces together. Other than that it was a good idea.

Could have used Metal Tube in the Build for the first hole size & inserted other close fitting tubes for smaller sized holes (reducing the number of Jigs you'd have make) OK, quite limited given tube sizes available, but should be good for 2 or 3 other sizes ??

I would suggest use even thinner material, laid up in more layers. At 1mm thick per jig layer, there is far less likelihood of each hole being skewed. This will reduce the accumulation of error.
