  • Patent number: 8573906
    Abstract: This invention relates to a drill guide apparatus for use in drilling holes in wood and other material in conjunction with spade drills. When deeper holes are required, the invention will also utilize drill extension rods. The embodiment consists of 4 separate guides assembled together which make a hole as parallel and perpendicular as possible to the work piece. One of these guides, the insert guide, acts as a stabilizer that helps keep the drill from drifting and wobbling. The guide shaft lines up with the work piece and starts the parallel course. When the spacer and base plate lay up against the work piece, the spade drill will travel in a perpendicular course. The spade drill and drill extension rod are prior art and are readily available in the market place.
