Woodpeckers AutoAngle Drill Guide, Deluxe, The Ultimate Portable Drill Guide, Angled Drilling From Vertical to 40°

The protractor of the AutoAngle works differently than most others on the market. Most designs rotate their angle from a pivot somewhere above the surface of the material. The AutoAngle has a “virtual” pivot point that is exactly on the surface of the material. This means the point of your drill bit enters the material at exactly the same point, regardless of drilling angle. You can locate your hole by aligning the index marks on the base of the AutoAngle to crosshairs on your material, even while drilling at an angle.That feature alone puts the AutoAngle in a class of its own, but we didn’t stop. We built in a versatile fence and stop system that makes it a snap to position the AutoAngle at fixed distances from a square corner. The guide rods are extendable and work with the fence and the flip stops. You can add extra flip stops to drill a series of holes all the same distance from the edge of the material.The protractor is locked in place by 2 large comfortable hand-grips. They make it simple to lock the base and give you a safe, secure place to hold the AutoAngle. Working in a tight corner? We’ve included a multi-knob to replace one of the handles. We’ve also included a pair of buttons that store on the base. Move them to the bottom of the base and place one on each side of your material to drill at the exact center of your stock. Or, align the vee-blocks to each other and use them to align the AutoAngle on round stock.The AutoAngle base makes it so simple to put your hole right where you want it. Align the machined reference points in the base to layout lines on your stock and you’re on target. You only need three of the four marks to drill perfectly located holes. The chuck base slides off the guide rods easily for a clear view when making a critical set up. There’s ample room to add a clamp or two when needed, but the non-skid surface on the base handles the job in all but the trickiest situations.

• THE DIFFERENCE - While most designs rotate their angle from a pivot somewhere above the surface of the material, the AutoAngle has a “virtual” pivot point that is exactly on the surface of the material. This means the point of your drill bit enters the material at exactly the same point, regardless of drilling angle. Which, in turn, means you can locate your hole by aligning the index marks on the base of the AutoAngle to crosshairs on your material, even when you’re drilling at an angle.
• CLASS OF ITS OWN - That feature alone puts the AutoAngle in a class of its own, but we didn’t stop there. We built in a versatile fence and stop system that makes it a snap to position the AutoAngle at fixed distances from a square corner. The guide rods are extendable and work with both the fence and the flip stops. You can add extra flip stops to drill a series of holes all the same distance from the edge of the material.
• SIMPLE, SAFE AND COMFORTABLE - The protractor is locked in place by two large, comfortable hand-grips. They make it simple to lock the base and give you a safe, secure place to hold the AutoAngle. If you have to work tight in a corner, we’ve included a multi-knob to replace one of the handles.
• ALSO INCLUDED - We’ve also included a pair of buttons that store on the base. Move them to the bottom of the base and place one on each side of your material to drill at the exact center of your stock. Or, align the vee-blocks to each other and use them to align the AutoAngle on round stock.
• STANDARD VS DELUXE - The Standard AutoAngle includes the fence, a pair of 6-1/2" guide rods and a short multi-knob for close quarters work. The Deluxe AutoAngle adds six 11" guide rods and two flip stops. [Not for use with impact driver]
