Abstract
The present technology presents system of a guide for widening a drilled hole. In various embodiments the system comprises a hub including a circular central member and a plurality of slots for shims around a circumference of the circular central member. Embodiments include a plurality of shims with the plurality of shims being fit into the plurality of slots around the circumference of the circular central member. Furthermore, the plurality of shims each include a narrow end and a wide end with the narrow end of each of the plurality of shims being in a same direction and the wide end of each of the plurality of shims being in an opposite direction to the narrow end allowing for the guide to fit securely into the existing hole before drilling the new hole.

A system of a guide for widening a drilled hole, the system comprising:
- a hub, comprising:
- a circular central member with a center location, the circular central member comprising:
- a bearing;
- a bearing retainer;
- and
- a plurality of slots for shims around a circumference of the circular central member;
- and
- a plurality of shims, the plurality of shims being fit into the plurality of slots around the circumference of the circular central member, the plurality of shims each comprising a narrow end and a wide end, the narrow end of each of the plurality of shims being in a same direction and the wide end of each of the plurality of shims being in an opposite direction to the narrow end, allowing for the guide to fit securely into an existing hole before drilling a new hole.
A system of a guide for widening a drilled hole, the system comprising:
- a hub, comprising:
- a circular central member with a center location, the circular central member comprising:
- a bearing, the bearing being free spinning and fitting a standard drill bit;
- and
- a bearing retainer, the bearing retainer and the bearing being in the center location of the circular central member allowing a new hole to be drilled in a center of an existing hole;
- and
- a plurality of slots for shims around a circumference of the circular central member;
- and
- a plurality of shims, the plurality of shims being fit into the plurality of slots around the circumference of the circular central member, the plurality of shims each comprising a narrow end and a wide end with a flange on both the narrow end and the wide end, the narrow end of each of the plurality of shims being in a same direction and the wide end of each of the plurality of shims being in an opposite direction to the narrow end, allowing for the guide to fit securely into the existing hole before drilling the new hole.
A system of a guide for widening a drilled hole, the system comprising:
- a hub, comprising:
- a circular central member with a center location, the circular central member comprising:
- a bearing, the bearing being free spinning and fitting a standard drill bit;
- and
- a bearing retainer, the bearing retainer and the bearing being off-center from the center location of the circular central member allowing a new hole to be drilled off-center of an existing hole;
- and
- a plurality of slots for shims around a circumference of the circular central member;
- and
- a plurality of shims, the plurality of shims being fit into the plurality of slots around the circumference of the circular central member, the plurality of shims each comprising a narrow end and a wide end with a flange on both the narrow end and the wide end, the narrow end of each of the plurality of shims being in a same direction and the wide end of each of the plurality of shims being in an opposite direction to the narrow end, allowing for the guide to fit securely into the existing hole before drilling the new hole.
