Wooden drill Jigs

Often overlooked, wooden drill jigs are limited by their inherent inaccuracies. An example of a wooden
drill jig used for drilling is shown in Figure 5-19. The jig consists of a plywood base, two wooden side
spacer rails, a plywood bushing plate joined together with wood screws, and four bolts that also serve as
jig feet. To reduce wear and provide additional support, a sheet-metal plate is bonded to the top of the
base. The part is located against a pressed-in roll pin and two more bolts through the side rail. The hand-
knob clamp, thumbscrew, threaded socket, and serrated-type bushings are all standard tooling
components.
