15J7801 - Drilling Jig with Imperial Bushings
Based on a suggestion from cabinetmaker Stephen Shepherd for a jig that could drill chair spindles, this centering jig has a large bearing surface for accuracy, with sighting marks for easy visual alignment. Used for end-drilling round stock 5/16" to 1 1/2" in diameter, it also permits drilling of spheres and has a V-notch for drilling into the side of a cylinder or the edge of dimensioned stock.
As a side benefit, the conical shape helps catch dust when drilling overhead. The jig stands 2" tall, including the height of a bushing.
Made from durable polycarbonate, it comes with 1/8", 3/16" and 1/4" hardened steel bushings. Metric bushings are available separately.
The Lee Valley drilling jig with imperial bushings includes three hardened-steel bushings, sized 1/8", 3/16" and 1/4", so you can switch bit diameters without swapping jigs. Metric bushings are available separately if you need them.
Yes, a V-notch on the jig cradles round stock on its side, which lets you drill into an edge or across a cylinder in addition to standard end-drilling.
The conical shape helps catch falling dust and shavings when you're drilling overhead, keeping debris from landing in your eyes or on your work.
It was developed from a suggestion by cabinetmaker Stephen Shepherd, who wanted a centering jig capable of drilling chair spindles accurately.
