Abstract

A simple inclined-hole drilling jig comprises a jig body having a crossover plane at the bottom to evenly press against the wood workpiece, and a beveled end member at the front concavely disposed with a guiding shaft hole extending downwardly from the beveled end member through the crossover plane. The upper end of guiding shaft hole is configured with a guide bushing for drill bit to pass through. The rear end and side surfaces of jig body are respectively formed with a reference face and sidewalls perpendicular to the crossover plane; the sidewall is at least concavely disposed with a dust guide groove intercrossing the guiding shaft hole and slidingly disposed with a graduated extension board to allow axial displacement and positioning. The end of the extension board is bent to form a retaining end plane parallel to the reference face to extendingly adjust the axle spread of reference face.

Claims (8)

1. An improved simple inclined-hole drilling jig, comprising a jig body with a long shaft extension having a crossover plane able to press evenly against the wood workpiece at its bottom and a beveled end member disposed at the front end of the long shaft; the beveled end member being at least concavely configured with a guiding shaft hole, which extends downwardly from the beveled end member through the crossover plane; the upper end of guiding shaft hole being slidingly configured with a guide bushing for a drill bit to pass through; the rear end and side surfaces of the jig body being respectively formed with a reference face and two sidewalls perpendicular to the crossover plane; characterized in which the sidewall is at least concavely disposed with a dust guide groove intercrossing the guiding shaft hole, and slidingly disposed with a graduated extension board in a manner that allows axial displacement and positioning; the end of the extension board is bent to form a retaining end plane parallel to the reference face to replace the reference face of the jig body and extendingly adjust the axle spread of the reference face, thereby greatly enhancing the operating performance of the simple drilling jig;

wherein the extension board is concavely disposed along its long axis with an upper and a lower sliding slot parallel to each other, which are preset with metric and inch marks at the upper margin; the two sidewalls of the jig body have respectively a through hole vertically and concavely disposed relative to the parallel sliding slots, which, coupled with a set of lock bolt and nut, secures the extension board;

wherein the inside of the bent retaining end plane at the end of the extension board is slidingly disposed with a retainer plate of smaller area to provide another axle spread reference.

2. The improved simple inclined-hole drilling jig according to claim 1 , wherein the dust guide groove is preferably situated near the outlet at the bottom side of the guiding shaft hole.

3. The improved simple inclined-hole drilling jig according to claim 1 , wherein the dust guide groove is preferably axially perpendicular to the guiding shaft hole.

4. The improved simple inclined-hole drilling jig according to claim 1 , wherein a pressed plate is fixed on the top of the jig body to limit the top edge of the extension board which is slidingly disposed on the sidewall.

5. The improved simple inclined-hole drilling jig according to claim 1 , wherein the two sidewalls of the jig body are respectively concavely disposed with an obliquely extending slot symmetrical to each other to facilitate the sliding adjustment of the extension board.

6. The improved simple inclined-hole drilling jig according to claim 1 , wherein the dust guide groove has preferably a rectangular section and its bottom communicates directly with the obliquely extending guiding shaft hole so that wood dust is drawn by the spiraling of the drill bit to exit early from the opening at both sides of the dust guide groove.
