  • Publication number: 20070201961
    Abstract: A drill guide used in woodworking for preparing pocket joints includes a guide member with a cuboid body. The cuboid body has an inclined plane formed on a front end thereof and a cavity defined in the front end thereof. The cavity has two opposite ends respectively and slantingly extending to the inclined plane and the first datum plane. A guide sleeve is longitudinally and detachably mounted in the front end of the cuboid body and abuts the inclined plane. The guide sleeve extends into the cavity for guiding a drill bit into the cavity and drilling an inclined hole in the workpiece. The cuboid body has a second datum plane formed on a rear end thereof. An axis of the drill bit passes through a central plane of the workpiece on a rear distal edge when the second datum plane aligns with the rear distal edge.
