30 45 90 Degree Angled Drill Guide Jig with 2 Torpedo Level, 4 Sizes Portable Drilling Hole Guide Jig for Straight and Angle Stairs Handrail, Cable Railing, Deck, Wood Post Level Design

This thing is pretty cool. I bought it to help me finish parts that I 3d print for toolboxes, and it works really well for my purposes. It is very precise and convenient, and it looks really nice in my workshop.

Would help if the holes were reversed

Angles are correct, the metal feels solid, it feels heavy but in a good way

What it is: Black anodized aluminum drill guide with hardened steel guide bushings for 45°, 30°, and 90° angles. 90° guides also have a V block for drilling round stock. Guides are for 3/16”, 1/4”, 5/16”, and 3/8” holes. Includes X and Y axis bubble levels.Why I like it: As an IT Pro and DIY/Maker, this drill guide is perfect for ensuring holes are drilled precisely. Fits easily in a tool box or tote, and the steel guide bushings should handle years of use. The angles are clearly marked on the edge, as are the hole diameters. The weak link are the bubble levels—they are loose in the guide. I placed the guide on a known level surface, and removed the bubble levels, added a bit of clear silicone to the slots, and reinserted them. Overall, a great addition to the toolbox and shop!

The wholes that are 90 degrees work great but the ones at an angle can be a struggle bus getting lined up and not moving while drilling on an uneven surface. Best for square surfaces.

For 90-degree drill guides, I think the gold standard is probably the Milescraft 1312. Compared to that one -- the metal guide bushings on this one are not nearly as deep and won't do as good a job of holding your bit straight, and that's a bit disappointing for a gadget that costs nearly three times as much. (The Milescraft also handles six sizes compared to this one's four). On the other hand, the Milescraft doesn't do the 30 and 45 degree angles that this one does, and this one does seem to be price-competitive with other similar angle jigs.So, it's a bit of a trade-off, and if you need those angle guides, then this is a decent choice, considering that the choices are somewhat limited.But if they made this to handle six sizes, and if the bushings were deeper like the Milescraft, then I'd definitely think this is worth the price -- three times the bushings would justify three times the price, and I'd recommend it without hesitation.

1/4” holes are far to large for a 1/4” drill bit. Move it down to the 3/16 hole and 1/4” fits perfectly. If the user needs a drill guide having 1/8” or more olay all the way around the bit leaves to much slop to be sure the angle is spot on. Don’t recommend.

This is easy to use, keeps my holes level and it helps out with many projects
