Pipe Drilling Jig

thingiverse

I craft numerous projects using PVC pipes. The pipe can be quite stubborn when it comes to drilling on a drill press, as it tends to shift around and roll away. To solve this problem, I created a device that securely cradles three different sizes of pipe - 1/4" CPVC, 1/2" PVC, and 3/4" PVC pipes (the diameters are adjustable). This device features three holes in each pipe, marked with vertical indicators, which allow me to inspect the tube from directly in front of it and verify that my drill bit is precisely centered. Additionally, it has measuring grooves, currently set at 5mm, but easily adjustable to accommodate various unit systems, including metric and imperial units.
