I've got aluminum tubing on the way to build my pickets and have been looking at drill guides for drilling my Ipe posts. Angled drilling is a must for the two stair railings I need to do.
The simple little handheld guides might do the trick if I clamp them in place. With the density of the Ipe, I don't want to try holding them in place with one hand because I want to use my corded 1/2" drill instead of the battery 3/8".
Do those 'drill thru' guides last?? How good are they for keeping a staright, plumb line?I also looked at the chucked, spring loaded guides as well. Some can get pretty expensive which isn't a concern really as I'd probably use it again on other wood projects. Chuck run out seems to be the biggest concern.
Has anyone experience using drill guides? One brand over another? Any pitfalls?
