Abstract
An assembly for accurately and easily drilling holes at a desired angle relative to a work piece. The assembly includes a housing having a rotatable drill guide therein. The drill guide includes a tang extending out from a side of the housing so that it can be manually rotated to position the drill guide in a desired orientation. Angular markings are provided on the side of the housing to align with a groove on the tang. The drill guide is biased towards an insert guide to create an opening whose size is adjustable for receiving drill bits of varying sizes.
Claims3
A drilling assembly for accurately drilling a hole in a work piece, said drilling assembly comprising:
- a housing having a bottom surface and a side surface extending from the bottom surface, said bottom surface being for placement against said work piece and said side surface having angular markings thereon;
- a drill guide rotatably positioned within said housing and having a tang extending outwardly from said housing through said side surface, said tang having line means for aligning with said angular markings to position said drill guide at a desired angle relative to said housing and said work piece, said drill guide having a substantially V-shaped end surface;
- an insert guide positioned within said housing adjacent to said V-shaped end surface of said drill guide;
- said drill guide being biased towards said insert guide to create an opening of adjustable size between said V-shaped end surface of said drill guide and said insert guide for reception of a drill bit;
- and
- a locking screw extending into said housing for being tightened against said drill guide to secure said drill guide at the desired angle.
