That same guide is offered at the Woodworkers site, but DX Engineering
has them beat pricewise, not counting shipping.
Not having used either one, I might lean towards the all steel guy as I
would prefer to be able to "C" clamp the jig in place so I wouldn't have
to worry about it slipping... I do enough of that myself... need all the
help I can get.

Hello Larry,
The drill guides from DX Engineering are inexpensive and work very well. I
used them to build several antennas last summer.

DX Engineering sells a drill guide for drilling perpendicular holes. I have
seen the same guide elsewhere although I don't remember where (maybe Rockler
another woodworking seller?). I have not personally used it.

Subject: [TowerTalk] Drill Guide for drilling holes in Al Tubing
I'm also a woodworker and saw an ad for a drilling guide that looks like
it might be just the thing for drilling perpendicular holes in aluminum
and steel tubing like we like to use for ham radio projects.

I'll have to pick one of these up.
Note that I used a link for Woodcraft because they had the best
description and photos. These are available from multiple sources.
Just Google "Big Gator Tools".
