Description

Introducing the Woodpeckers Auto-Line Drill Guide the tool keeps your drill bit perfectly perpendicular while you drill, but it goes further with a versatile base and fence system that makes it simple to keep your hole locations right on target. Please note this product is not recommended to be used with an impact driver.

The Woodpeckers Auto-Line Drill Guide starts with a high quality 12.7mm (1/2") chuck supported by a pair of sealed ball bearings. The shaft end is a standard quick-release fitting that will fit any cordless or corded drill. The chuck carrier holds a pair of Teflon sleeves which ride on two steel columns, keeping the chuck perfectly vertical while you drill. One column has a spring to help you control your cut and the other has an adjustable stop collar. The stop collar column has a taper milled into it. The stop needs only fingertip pressure to hold position making it nearly impossible to knock the stop out of position when the lock is tightened onto the taper.

The base of the guide has laser engraved centre-lines on the perimeter of the opening. All you need to do is align the bright white index marks with the marks on your stock for precise hole location. There is also a vee-groove milled into the base to safely drill round stock. The opening in the base has clearance for drills up to 19mm (3/4"). When you need to drill holes larger than 19mm (3/4"), simply remove the column caps, turn the chuck carrier around so it is outside the base and drill up to 50mm (2") holes.

When you need holes centred on a board, the guide comes with centring pins in the base, rotate until one pin is tight against each side of the stock. Now your bit is perfectly centred. It works on stock up to 79mm (3-1/8") wide. The centring pins store conveniently right on the top of the base when they’re not in use. Woodpeckers machined the Allen head wrench to install the pins onto the bottom of the column caps meaning you’ll never have to go searching for the right sized Allen wrench.

The versatile fence adjusts to the base along a pair of steel guide rods. As shown in the photos above, the fence can slide under the base for working close to an edge, or turn it around to get the maximum distance. When you're working on a narrow edge, position the fence so the broad face provides extra support and when you're not using the fence at all, turn it so the thin edge provides an "outrigger" to improve stability. The base is drilled and tapped for the fence guide rods on all four edges, so there's always a direction you can extend the fence. The basic fence comes with rods with a capacity of 178mm (7").

Another great tool from Woodpeckers

Having now had time to use this drilling jig I can say that it is really well engineered and delivers precise drilling capabilities. It fills the gap between my pillar drill where I am restricted on getting long workpieces to and using a router with it's limited plunge depth. Downside is it is not a cheap option but it is MILES ahead of other products when it comes to quality and ability to keep a drill bit square to the workpiece and it is portable so can be taken to the job as well. Because it only does 90° and not other angles it is rigid without the flex found in other products but easy enough to make a simple jig so it can do any angle.

Well engineered but..

Well engineered but I think it would have better functionality if they had included one or two alternative return spring lengths. If using shorter drill bits it requires a disproportionate amount of effort to compress the full length spring. An extra spring or two would be an insignificant cost on an item at this price level. You can take the spring off but that reduces the functionality.

precision at it’s best

Although the price is somewhat high end, I was arguing with myself over purchasing this. Nothing on the market provides what I need and ebay / amazon fakes are a complete waste of time. I purchased this with the extra rails and stops, though it would have been nice for the deluxe edition which would have worked out cheaper.

This drill guide makes a huge difference to what I do as a blind woodworker and I can’t be without it. There’s some improvements I’d love to see, but they are based on my own needs and have emailed woodpeckers for a chat, but other than that, I would really recommend this. a precision drill chuck, comfortable plunge, ease of installing rods, etc, it’s a stunning product and worth the investment. it has a permanent home in a bosch drill case with a nice comfortable drill designed for the job. Thanks Woodworkers workshop for the amazing customer service and help. Can’t thank you enough
