Abstract: This invention includes a drill guide (drill depth stop and alignment tool), canting base attachment, and self-aligning dowel jig attachment that allows users to drill holes to prescribed depths into flat work surfaces using various sizes of twist and auger bits while eliminating marring and reducing wood splintering. The canting base attachment allows users to drill holes to prescribed depths and at variable angles into flat surfaces and both large and small cylinders with no free ends using various kinds and sizes of drilling tools without marring. The dowel jig attachment allows users to drill dowel holes to prescribed depths in edges and faces of work pieces that are evenly spaced apart by numerous gauged distances and at infinitely adjustable distances from edges. This invention has drill press-like capabilities and can be used in fields and shops.
