Drill guide

Woodpeckers offers the Auto-Line Drill Guide to keep the drill perpendicular while you work, including on projects where you can’t use a drill press. The Auto-Line features a 1/2-inch chuck supported by a pair of sealed ball bearings. It can be used with any corded or cordless drill as well as impact drivers, and has a stop collar for accurate depth control. The stop locks onto a taper milled in the column, minimizing any downward drift of the stop caused by repeated use. To drill holes larger than the 1-inch opening in the base, turn the chuck carrier around so it is outside the base.

Portable screw pocket machine for low angles

Safety Speed Mfg. says its SPM101EZ portable screw pocket hole machine is ideal for low angle screw pocketing. The machine features Safety Speed's signature cycle of drilling a pilot hole while machining a 6° screw pocket. The “EZ” action lever allows for pocketing material in two easy movements, without the need for finding a neutral position as both routers are moving while never touching.
