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.

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.

le-drilling-guide.aspx

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".
