The drill guide jig can be entirely made of scrap materials and we can just use basic tools to make it. This will be a great help when you need to achieve precision but you don’t have any drill press. Sometimes we can also use a drill guide jig to make straight holes without using any drilling press or block or any reference surface on top of the drill. Afterward, we can drill a hole straight which will be precise and accurate enough. Now we have to move the drill bit carefully in such a way that it just touches the square and we have to line it up with the line we just drew earlier on the drill’s surface.
Then we have to hold our smaller square perpendicular to the object’s surface and right on the mark we have just made.Īfter that, we have to put our drill bit where we need to drill the hole. After that, we can say our drill is ready to drill a straight hole through a post.įor drilling, first, we have to make a mark on our post and then take a tape measure which can measure over 1 inch. Tools and batteries are heavy, so build the dock from 3/4-in. Drill a hole in the side of the dock to accommodate the power strip cord.
Now you’ll have to make a mark on it which will be in line with the seam of the case. Get a power strip (10) and park it on the bottom shelf so you can plug in all your chargers.
Then we have to take a piece of tape and put it on the top left or the upper facing surface of the drill and write the measured 1 inch into it(or whatever measurement you come up with).Īfter that, we need to find out a spot on our drill which has a straight line with the drill bit. The distance can be 1 inch approximately. We’ll need to make the measure starting from the backward edge of the drill bit towards the small square. Now it’s time to measure using the tape measure. Now we need to slide it over until it’s vertical arm touches the drill. Once we get the drill lined up, then we have to take the other square and make it flush with the end of the bench. Make sure the edge of the drill bit is up with the edge of the square where the square is 90 degrees angled. Now you’ll need to take a drill with a longer drill bit and lay it down along with the vertical arm of the square towards you in your workbench. It is to be assumed that our workbench is straight. Bolt them to your dock, or directly to your boat to securely tie up your. To do this we’ll need a longer drill bit, 2 squares (L shaped metal sheet)of different sizes, a piece of tape, a pencil and a black marker.įirst, we have to take the bigger square and make it flush with the end of our workbench. Hot Dipped Galvanized Dock Cleats are a must have for any water enthusiast. We can also make a straight hole by using drills without using any block or drill press or any kind of reference surface. By using these reference blocks now we can make our drills perfect as we’ll be able to make straight holes without relying on naked eyes only. It will provide us with a reference surface of 90 degrees to our work piece providing more accuracy. We can also use a plywood made ‘L’ shaped stand. After that, we will cut the block according to the trace line. We can use hot glue to attach the piece of reference exterior to the top of the drill.Īfter making the reference surface, now we’ll need to trace a parallel line from the drill to toss the block. This will be used as a reference exterior to drill a straight hole through a post. C.P.We can drill a straight hole through a post by using drill press or milling machine too! For this, first, we have to set a flat piece of a wood or plastic on the top surface of the drill.
