Abstract
A drilling jig (1) adapted to be used with a drill press to guide a drill for drilling aligned holes in a workpiece, typically a piece of wood, wherein the jig includes: an attachment means (2) adapted to be releasably attached to a drill press table (40): a workpiece holder (3) pivotally connected to the attachment means and the workpiece holder is adapted to releasably hold a workpiece in position whereby the workpiece pivots relative to the attachment means to allow for angled drilling of the held workpiece.

A drilling jig adapted to be used with a drill press to guide a drill for drilling aligned holes in a workpiece, typically a piece of wood, wherein the jig includes:
- an attachment means adapted to be releasably attached to a drill press table;
- a workpiece holder pivotally connected to the attachment means and the workpiece holder is adapted to releasably hold a workpiece in position whereby the workpiece pivots relative to the attachment means to allow for angled drilling of the held workpiece.
A method of using a drilling jig including the steps of:
- placing a first horizontal planar member on a drill press table;
- aligning a longitudinal extending slot on the first horizontal planar member with a corresponding opening in the drill press table;
- inserting a shaft of a clamping member into the slot and opening and attaching a clamping portion to one end of the shaft and a knob to the other end;
- aligning the first horizontal planar member to a desired position on the drill table by sliding the first horizontal member with respect to the table and then tightening knob of the clamping member to firmly hold the first horizontal planar member to the drill press table;
- selecting the desired angle to which holes are to be drilled into a workpiece by rotating the workpiece holder about a pivot pin until the desired angle is obtained;
- tightening the pivot pin with a fastener to hold the workpiece at desired angle;
- selecting and positioning a workpiece on the workpiece holder so that the end to be drilled is flush with the top surface of workpiece holder;
- clamping the workpiece to the workpiece holder, and sliding and retaining a stopper such that the stopper abuts the end of the workpiece opposite to the end being drilled.
