FULL DESCRIPTION

This innovative drill guide places its pivot point on the surface of the material, maintaining the same entry point throughout its full 120° angle range. This auto alignment feature drastically reduces setup time, allowing you to quickly position the guide against layout lines on your workpiece, reassured that whatever the angle, the drill bit will always enter at exactly the same point.

The precision machined aluminium headstock runs on two 35mm long linear bearing races, providing ultra-smooth, controlled travel, free from lateral play. The three jaw 13mm chuck features two specially selected high speed bearings, ensuring repeated accuracy and clean, consistently drilled holes. The chuck features a ¼” quick change hex shank and either side of the shank is storage for two self-centering pins which screw into the base, allowing the guide to self-centre over the edge of a board. Both 12mm thick steel guide posts feature depth stop collars, allowing one to be used to support the headstock during bit changes without losing the current depth setting. With the stop collars removed, the full 235mm range of travel can be achieved.

With a large 240mm x 160mm footprint, the 20mm thick base provides rock-solid stability and ample room for clamping. The base has 75mm wide opening to accommodate large forstner bits, and reference points around the base opening allow quick positioning against pre-drawn layout lines. V-grooves above the base facilitate the drilling of round stock such as dowels or table legs.

An auxiliary edge guide attaches to all four sides of the base, locating the guide quickly at a set distance from the edge of a board, ideal for batch drilling. This auxiliary guide can also be configured to sit under the drill guide, providing additional support when drilling close to an edge. Each side of the base features clear, easy to read angle graduations, including a reference mark at 22.5°. The two large locking handles are knurled for a secure grip and steadfast support when drilling. ©

What a great drill guide

What a great drill guide, the construction is so well engineered and the materials used is top notch. I have been looking at drill guides for some time, but nothing compares to the Rutland guide. As soon as you see the box unwrapped and the layout of the component parts, you see immediately that this is a premium product. I have plans from America for the construction of a timber framed pavilion using 8”x8” timber which requires mortise and tenon joints throughout. A costly chain mortised whilst a massive time saver may not be suitable for one project. Online videos show timber framers hand drilling the mortises roughing out prior to finishing with a framing chisel, the drilling guide will save a B lot of the guess work in centring the work bit. I have tried the guide on a waste piece of 8”x8” timber and so pleased with the result. I cannot recommend this guide more highly and as a retired engineer my praise does not come easily.

A well engineered quality piece of equipment

A well engineered quality piece of equipment. Very easy to put together, largely due to the simple instructions. Angle markings are clear and accurate. Tested auto alignment and is as expected.
Looking forward to using in future projects. Good work Rutlands.
