Frequently asked questions
How do I use it?
Hook the fence over the face of the board and clamp the jig in place. The guide holes are centered on the board's thickness, so drill straight through them.
Does it wear out?
Yes, slowly. The drill rubs on the plastic. For a big project, print a fresh jig.
