The SpeTool Portable Drill Guide bridges the gap between handheld convenience and drill-press precision. Built with a solid aluminum base and triple guide-rod support, it ensures accuracy and stability even in demanding workshop conditions.
Precision Engineering
With a runout tolerance of ≈ 0.1 mm, the SpeTool Drill Guide delivers millimeter-level accuracy, rivaling stationary presses. The integrated centering pins align quickly to your layout marks, keeping hole placement consistent across multiple workpieces.
Smooth Linear Guidance
Three ball-bearing guide rods provide friction-free, linear motion. The system maintains precise alignment throughout the full stroke—no binding, minimal maintenance, and long service life.
Adjustable Angles, Consistent Entry Point
The guide tilts from 0° to 60°, locking securely every 7.5°. Its geometry maintains a stable drilling point regardless of angle, allowing angled or compound drilling without repositioning your workpiece.
Stable V-Block Base
The hard-anodized aluminum base (3.8 kg / 8.36 lb) resists flexing and vibration. An integrated V-groove holds flat or round stock securely, while anti-slip pads improve grip during angled or vertical drilling.

Frequently Asked Questions
The guide ensures a runout precision 0.01 mm, giving you drill-press accuracy even with a handheld drill. It minimizes bit walking, keeps holes perpendicular, and ensures consistent results across multiple workpieces.
It’s designed primarily for wood, plywood, MDF, and plastics. You can drill light aluminum or brass using sharp bits and slower feed rates. Avoid heavy steel or thick metal unless your drill has sufficient torque and rigidity.
The base allows infinite adjustment between 0° and 60°, with positive locks every 7.5° to prevent drift. This ensures repeatable accuracy for joinery or angled holes.
It uses linear ball-bearing guide rods that minimize friction and vibration. No lubrication is needed, and motion stays smooth even after long-term use.
The dual removable pins align the guide perfectly to the center of your workpiece, enabling quick setup for symmetrical drilling without repeated measuring.
Purchased it to drill ¾-inch dog holes in 3-inch thick maple work bench. Did an amazingly good job. Very stable and accurate. Highly recommend.

They advertise no wobble. My chuck has a wobble to it after about 15 holes drilled. Is it worth 3 or 4x others. Nope. Buy the cheaper versions.

Spetool portable drill guide
I initially bought this for a one off project that demanded precision. It is superbly designed, substantial and will last for many years to come. After much research I decided that the spetool drill guide was the one for me. It did not disapoint . Now that I own one I am sure I can find many more uses for it. Depending on the exact nature of your occupation and the type of work where it is neither practical nor possible to take the stock to a drill press. Then a portable drill guide may be the solution to your problems. If that is the case then I would highly recommend that the spetool drill guide should be on your shortlist. If not at the very top of it

I like it ,I like it alot !
It's fantastic ! The only 2 thing that I did to improve it was to glue some rubberized cork to the base and extend the aligning center market down on the base to help with centering the drill with the layout lines . All easy and quick upgrades. I would highly recommend this product and is very hi quality.

I am truly impressed with the first uses of this bit. Cuts in plywood were smooth and easy. At first I had to double check to make sure I was actually touching the wood it was sooo smooth. The edges were clean and true. I am really liking these bits.
The clamps are low profile enough to avoid the cutters and did a good job securing the slab. The case allows me to keep all the parts together for storage.
