Portable Drill Guide for Drilling Angled or Straight Hole
A freehand drill and a straight hole rarely meet.
Every woodworker knows the problem: you mark the center, press the bit in, and by the time it breaks through the far side it's drifted. The Portable Drill Guide solves it at the source — auto-centering on contact, adjustable from vertical to 45°, so the bit goes where you aimed it every time.
What it does
- Auto-centering on contact — positions itself on the work surface and centers the drill bit before you apply pressure, eliminating startup wander
- 0° to 45° angle adjustment — drill straight down, angled for joinery, or anything between; angle locks securely before drilling
- Depth stop collar — set the drilling depth once and repeat it across every hole in the sequence without re-measuring
- Fits standard drill bits — compatible with twist bits, brad points, and Forstner bits across common shank sizes
How it's built
- Aluminum alloy frame — rigid under drilling pressure, light enough to move across the workpiece without fatigue
- Steel drill bushing — the bit runs through hardened steel, not plastic, keeping the guide hole accurate after thousands of passes
- Non-marring base — won't scratch finished surfaces or soft wood faces
Who it's for
Woodworkers without a drill press who need press-accurate holes at the bench. Cabinet builders drilling hardware pilots, furniture makers cutting dowel holes, and anyone who's held a drill in the air and hoped — this gives you the reference the drill press would.
Set it. Lock the angle. Drill straight — every time.

Customer Testimonials
Build quality is obvious the second you pick it up.
I've bought a lot of tools online. This is the first time I didn't feel like I was gambling. Solid, precise, no wobble, no play. Does exactly what it says.
The 60-day trial is what convinced me to order.
Used it on a real project for six weeks before deciding. Haven't thought about returning it once. The trial period removes all the risk — that alone tells you they're confident in what they make.
Arrived fast, packaged properly, works perfectly.
No complaints from order to delivery to first use. Packaging was solid, nothing loose inside, tool was ready to go. Simple as it should be.
